Skagit County Fair 2021 - August 11-14

We were able to have a county fair this year!  With lots of COVID protocols in place and the county health department on site for advice and counsel. 

So here are my entries - ribbons all around! 


This is all scrappy Christmas fabric in the Garlic Knots pattern 
from Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville. 
I named this quilt "I Yust go Knots at Christmas" but you have to be in my generation and raised on Seattle children's TV shows to understand that reference!
Red ribbon.



This is all 2" squares!  Pattern is Lucettia by Rebecca Mae Designs. 
I fussy cut some cat fabric into it...no surprise there...so the name of this quilt is
"Lucettia con i Gatti". 
Blue ribbon.


I love this quilted bolster pillow made with artwork from a little friend, Gracie,
who was (I think) 6 at the time she drew these great cats for me. 
The judge loved it, too.  Best of Class. 
No pattern. 



This is a Swedish-style "peg bag"! 
Conical in shape, it also has a nice flat bottom (reinforced with Timtex)
to hold clothespins and a swivel clip on top to attach it to the clothesline. 
The sides and bottom are quilted, too. 
Blue ribbon and "Merit" ribbon. 
Original pattern based on traditional concept. 


These happy little walking cats are walking towards dinner!
Great use of jelly roll strips with a solid background insert
to highlight the kitties. 
No pattern. 
Red ribbon.

Thanks for taking a look at my fair entries.  After a year at home in isolation, I had lots of pieces to choose from for the fair and these were the ones I wanted people to see!
