I attended the Fair last weekend with my wonderful SIL#3 and some great friends, including the fabulous Friend Julie<\/a>. Her terrific husband Marc came along, too.<\/p>\n

\"Colorblocks<\/a>
Colorblocks 3: Second Place San Mateo County Fair 2024<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

First, my quilt, Colorblocks #3, won second place. I always want first, but Julie won first and she deserved it. Her quilting was much better than mine.<\/p>\n

I might need to make this quilt over again. I like it, but am not sure it hits the points I was hoping to hit. I need to look up my original notes on the iteration I wanted to make after I made Colorblocks 2<\/a>. Good thing I have plenty of silk left.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The Enigma pouches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sadly, neither my nor Cindy’s Enigma pouches won anything. The big bags always win even though the one that won had NO zippers, NO hardware, nothing complicated.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Laura said she is breaking up that category so small bags are separated from large bags.<\/p>\n

I only put in two entries, so I only got one prize this year. They  are reintroducing the Sweepstakes winner next year, so I’ll have to start collecting various projects to enter.<\/p>\n
