St. Mary's county fair!

I had so much fun this year making things to enter into the county fair.

Above is all the stuff I had to take. After ironing, I laid everything out so I woundn't forget anything. I put as much as I could in bags, so tthings were easier to lug around.

Remmber this quilt? I did a post about it when I first made it.
I finished it with a green border and it took first place in the fair!
(I think because it was the only one in that catagory!)
The next two projects came from one of my favorite books, Last-minute patchwork + quilted gifts.

This bird quilt was at the top of my list to make after reading this book.
I was thrilled that it took first place. This was the first quilt I made using applique.
This little elephant was also in the book.
He was a little tricky to make, but sure worth the effort.
 This next project is not as familar to everyone. Its an OTHELO board.
My Family loves this game, but apparently not many people play it.
I was happy with the blue ribbon it won.

I enjoyed sewing up these little outfits.
The first two are from the book WEEKEND SEWING by HEATHER ROSS.
A book we regularly check out at the library :) 
This blouse was also from WEEKEND SEWING. I made it just as a learning experience.
These doll clothes wrap up my clothes section. I entered them in two different fairs and they won first and second.

I love my recycled jean door mat, and it was so easy to make.
For next years fair I am thinking of ideas to make more from recycled jeans! 
I had fun making this little pillow (first time I have made fabric flowers!).


I'll finish this post with the last two quilts I entered.
My DINOSAUR QUILT. 
And GRANDAD'S QUILT.

Hope you had fun looking at all my projects. I sure had fun making them : )

Until next time,
Anna
