Utah State Fair Quilt Challenge




The Utah State Fair opened today. My quilt is there along with a few hundred others on the west wall of the Home Arts Building. If you're interested in competing in next year's challenge, I'd pop into the fair as soon as you can. The fabric for 2013 is actually quite pretty; it looks like a red bandana. The theme is "The Best of the West." I suspect there will be lots of clever, creative wall-hanging size quilts in the competition next September. After we looked over the offerings in the Home Arts Building, we visited the sheep, cows and goats who were just settling into their new quarters. My youngest son and daughter were zipped into big acrylic bubbles so they could roll about atop a huge wading pool. Then we headed home. Am I upset that I didn't get a blue ribbon this year? Not really. Yes, it would have been nice. But I could certainly have done worse than red.
