i am torn about the fair this year...my sister wants her quilt to win the viewers choice this year...my grandaughter's both want to enter their quilts this year (they were out of state last year and i couldn't get the quilts from them in time) and my mother-in-laws has not gone in yet. so, i will be competing against myself for this year's ribbons...she will be ticked if one of the other ones win and her's doesn't. last year i had 4 in, 3 were blue ribbon winners, one of those also took the best of show, and the 4th one took a red-second place ... you are allowed ONe ITEM per catagory, so ...i might not get mother-in=laws, then i think i can cover 3 or 4 different catagories and not directly compete with sisters' as much. when i picked up my quilts last year after the fair they took pictures for the fair book and newspaper then told me, since i took viewers choice 3 years in a row they are expecting great things this year...nothing like a little pressure :)
