Fair Results

I am humbled.  I can't even begin to tell you how much.  Yesterday when I looked up the results for The Evergreen State Fair (Monroe, WA), I saw that I was a "Class Winner".  Being completely new to entering anything in a fair, I didn't know what that meant.  A friend explained to me that it meant I was a "Best In Class" winner!  Wow! Really??? Even in all my errors that I know to exist in my Jane?  After the major tuck in the back that I hand sewed down (and really, you can't even tell there is one at all now)?  The backing that is made of scraps and my "map" to the fabrics I wanted to use for the blocks?

Kevin came home from work in the late afternoon today and we decided to go ahead and go.  We went to the quilt/sewing barn first (after parking a million miles away and checking out the horses).  After initially not finding my Jane hanging, we started to walk back to the entrance again and look.

I found her.

Over the moon is the only thing I can say.  Three ribbons!!  Here is the explanation for the pink/white:


Jane and I.  She was three rows from the entrance, but facing the opposite way.


Here is a link to my finished Jane quilt album (there are also some process and block pictures as well).

And a few fair pics...

Unusual chicken:


You will probably need to click through, but what would you guess on this one? Chicken or rabbit?  These were interesting too!


Free rides


I wonder if they are buddies? The silver cow was sleeping, but I just can't see how that was even comfortable.


Before we went into the goat barn, Darrin told me goats eat anything.  'Tis true... even blue ribbons!


I want one! Spot would be great for the blackberry bushes next door :)


This photo makes me laugh:


That's my fair report.  Again, I am so happy that quilty friends urged me to go for it and enter when I got a wild hair and asked if I should.  It was beyond my expectations.  Maybe I will finish my Orca Bay for next year?
