quilt entered at the "un" fair

Love your quilt, and feel your sorrow. What a pity. The name of my little business is Lady Bug artistry, and I have trouble finding cute lady bug fabrics. Everything I make or paint has at least one lady bug hidden in it somewhere. Usually on the binding, or label

Tiffany - Yes, you are right about the sponsorship. There is money donated by companies that have an interest in the product thus the higher prize money given to such things as pies and jams. There is far less interest in sponsoring the quilt display so that the art is recognized for all the time and hard work that is put into it. The larger sewing and quilt sponsors only do so at the big shows not at local fairs. Sometimes a gift certificate is donated by a LQS.

Covered In Threads - you make an excellent point. Thank you for sharing your opinion/suggestions. We are all in a position to make a difference at some level- we just need to get out there & do it! I for one am contacting my fair board to see if this years' display will be the same as years past. If so, there may still be time to change things. If not, there's plenty of time to prepare for next year!

God bless the LQS's and other places that do sponser and support the quilt section of a fair!! :idea: I should pay more attention to who sponsers our state fair here and make sure to go into those businesses and thank them.
