Some New Ideas

I paid a visit to the county fair today! I actually had the job of judging the Decorated Purse Contest. It was tough to choose first, second and third place out of some many creative purse ideas!

After judging, I strolled around and peeked at all the other craft items, quilts and garments entered in the fair. I wish so much that I had brought my camera along! I discovered so many ideas that I want to use somehow, somewhere.

One such ideas happened to be a cute little pillow with a chocolate saying hand embroidered on it! I should have written down the words in the saying used; it was so neat! Thankfully I know the person who made it, so I will be able to ask her at our next quilting meeting in August!

I found several items entered by several ladies in my classes that I teach! It was fun to see the projects again that they had created!

If you haven't done so, visit your county and state fair sewing and quilting exhibits! Take along a camera and store those ideas for future use! It is definitely well worth it!
