My mother and I looked at several beautiful quilts and interesting arts and crafts. There was a huge cathedral windows quilt (that I didn't think to photograph). As we were admiring it, the woman who made it stopped by and asked if we had questions. Oh, yes! We found out it took 12 years to make. I can believe that - there were so many little squares. They were hand pieced, then machine sewn together.
We checked out the livestock. I thought the sheep in the betting area were adorable.
Then we went to see the racing pigs. They were a hoot! The
first two heats were with young pigs. They were fast! And they
looked like they were having fun. Their tails never stopped wagging.
The last heat we were promised the fastest racers yet - a set of pot belly
pigs.
Ha! They sauntered out and mostly strolled around the
track.
Pretty funny!
It was a nice day to be out. I get to pick up my quilts tomorrow.
Congratulations on your ribbons!
ReplyDeleteWoot woot, way to go!! Congrats on your ribbons. Will be anxious to the quilts with notes if there are any. Are we neighbors? I live in Franklin County, Ohio?

ReplyDeleteIt looks as if you and your mum had a grand time at the fair, Sally. Congratulations on those blue ribbons for your pretties! The quilted jacket is amazing and love your quilt too. Ahh...cathedral window quilts.... they are a beast and not for the feint of heart.
