Don't apologize for "small fair", my friend. Out in the country there are some FANTASTIC quilters that can blow your mind in a short while <g>.
The first time I saw a small county fair was in 95 and it was AMAZING!
I could actually spend time looking at things. Actually see everything, and even keep an eye on my kids while I was on the other end of the fair grounds.
It was WONDERFUL! And the talent found therein (Davenport, Washington) was VERY impressive, as is your work.
Good show! :wink:

I picked up my quilt and pillow from the fair while ago. Below is a pic of them with the ribbons. Someone had asked earlier to post the comments that the judges wrote on the back of the entry tags. They were:
"Nice job"
"Very pretty"
"Quilting is good"
"Love the binding"
"Love the scallops"
When I went to pick them up at the fair, I went up to the lady in the quilting section and told her that I needed to pick up my items and she asked me my name, so I told her. She asked back "Kathy?", apparently thinking I was there to pick up a spouse's items. "No, Eddie." She looked confused a moment, then asked "Are you sure you're in the right section?" I said "Yes, they were quilting items." So I then described them and she found them. It was funny. :)

I love your work!!!!!
I am from a small town in Arkansas....North Central Arkansas.
Trust me, I would like to submit a quilt to the local fair but I AM STILL ON MY FIRST ONE AND IT IS A CRAZY QUILT AND I DID NOT FOLLOW ANY PROPER QUILTING RULES....
I am going to tell all the women in my sewing circle all about you!
Maybe next year, I can submit a quilt to the fair.
Hugs!
