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<\/a> and came across Fresh Fruit<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

I didn’t win any prizes for this meager entry, but I did enter.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
