Yippee! Another ribbon ;)

WOW!! I went to the fair and checked out my quilt -- it had a purple "Champion" ribbon on it, WooHoo! And the blue ribbon on it had a star on it as well, which those who know about fair ribbons tell me is extra good!! YIPPEE YIPPEE YIPPEE!! I won my own ribbon for my own quilt, how cool. Here are some pix: the first one still has my design marked on it, the second is after dunking it to remove the marks, but before binding it and then blocking it to lie flat.



OK, just a little excited there ;) But it was a terrific surprise.

The fourth of July holiday was really nice at our house. We cooked out and even broke out the deep fryer. Tim had a big unhealthy feast in mind, that's for sure. The kids and I went to the fair in the evening (it was $15 bracelet night for rides, can't miss that, it's the only way you can afford to ride the rides, LOL!) But we were back home by 8:30 - in time for fireworks. Tim's mom came over and brought even more fireworks, so the kids had a grand time. I called it a night early and was in bed after only 15 minutes of fireworks or so. And I think one of the girls was right behind me, tee hee. Some of us may never adjust to Daylight Savings Time!! All in all, it was a lovely day.

Didn't get much quilting done. I do have a QoV on the frame and hope to finish it up tonight. Then there is a T-shirt quilt for a customer to do. I'm looking at more stencils today for a large wholecloth quilt. I have the bug and want to try more ;) Off I go to lose some money ;)
