A week ago today, I was browsing the Internet and discovered, quite by accident, the Utah State Fair was accepting home arts entries 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., September 2, 3 and 4. As it was already September 4, we dropped everything to run to the fair park with the quilt I’d finished a year ago. I’d received no notice about the quilt challenge – no news article, e-mail, call, text or letter – but I hoped my wall hanging could at least compete with the other needlework offerings. What a pleasant surprise to find a table set up to receive the 2020 challenge quilts! I wasn’t the only one hoping it would be there, because there were already at least a dozen entries hanging behind it. I told myself it really didn’t matter what the judges decide. I’m just so thrilled, after a long year-and-a-half, to do something that feels so NORMAL. But a blue ribbon feels nice, too!
