Mariposa County Fair 2013

Every year I enter baked goods and usually a quilt in the Mariposa County fair. This summer has been so busy at work and at home! Work we have been shorthanded, so I have been working some of another persons job and at home we are preparing for Dianna Tyra's wedding on October 12th. (Dianna and Lee have asked for the wedding to be here at the cabin, so there is lots to do to prepare)

 This year I entered 3 quilts, one I have been working on about 1/2 the year, it is our bed quilt and the center of the log cabin block is a pistachio color to match our walls. I did not place on any of the three quilts (or the jar of plum jam I entered). When I went to pick up the items at the end of the fair tonight I found that I was not a total looser after all. I thought maybe the anniversary quilt I made for Uncle Ralph and Aunt Pat's 50th wedding anniversary would get a peoples choice, in fact I had voted for it for people's choice and had encouraged others to vote for it also - thought it would mean more to Pat and Ralph if it has some ribbon in it!

A jelly roll quilt, Shelby has asked for it for her birthday in a few weeks.
