The Fair is held in June and with the YM’s broken ankle and a big new client, it took me awhile to get this post together. Here it is.<\/p>\n

\"San<\/a>
San Mateo County Fair Prizes 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I was tempted to call this post 4 Entries, 4 Prizes, but I thought that might a bit too much self congratulation. It is true, however. I entered four items into the fair and received four prizes.<\/p>\n

\"FOTY<\/a>
FOTY 2015<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SIL and I have determined that the way to get prizes is to enter items into the non-quilt categories. I received monetary prizes for everything but the quilt, which received an honorable mention and more criticism on my binding as well as criticism that my seams don’t match. I was annoyed at that since there was maybe 2 seams that didn’t match. I work very hard on my piecing so it looks good. I suppose they have to find something to criticize. The point about my binding was grudgingly well taken. I had no idea what they meant, but SIL showed me what she thought they meant and I took her advice to heart when I did the binding on the Peacock<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Apron<\/a>
Apron – 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I need to make another apron, so, perhaps, I will wait and enter that in the fair in 2018. In fairness, my niece has been waiting for this apron, so it might be a little annoying for her to wait another year. Perhaps I’ll make two.<\/p>\n

The fussy cutting on the apron was worth it. There was a comment that they really liked the way I used the fabric. They also liked it that I finished the seams.<\/p>\n

\"California<\/a>
California Shirt with ribbon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

They did not like that I did not finish the seams on the California shirt. I kind of knew that when I was working on it. I wanted to make French seams like I do on the pillowcases, but just didn’t do it.<\/p>\n

Now I want to make another shirt with French or finished seams. It might be a good way to learn to use a serger.<\/p>\n

I have lots of pictures of exhibits to show, so I’ll see about writing some more posts on the Fair in general.<\/p>\n
