In anticipation of entering projects into the Fair, I decided to revisit some of the entries I have made into the Fair, and especially my winners. This also came about because I was working on the Fabric selection post and came across Fresh Fruit, which I had forgotten had won a prize. I was reminded, also, that I have received prizes at a variety of other shows as well.

2025 San Mateo County Fair: no prizes
I didn’t win any prizes for this meager entry, but I did enter.
It is fun and easy to enter, which is why I try to enter quilts and bags into the Fair. I also love thinking about all the people who have exhibited something working away in their workrooms and garages on projects.
WOW, thank you for sharing all these prize winning quilts. I was delighted to scroll down and take a peak at your work. AMAZING!
