Classroom Quilt's Fair Win!

I love fair season and my grand-guy and I spent a good part of yesterday afternoon visiting ours.
Our Classroom Quilt won a blue ribbon in the group quilt division.
The kids will be so excited and I hope many of them see it at the fair this week.

With the new school year quickly approaching, it will find it's new "home" hanging outside my 
classroom to greet this year's new class. After which, it will be used by the kids during reading time.
I was thinking as we walked through all the exhibits that I really need to create more entries for the fair. It's so fun to see them all displayed and judged. Do you complete fair entries? If so, curious if they are only quilt entries or what other entries do you have?

  1. I was in 4-H as a kid and entered many a baked good in the fair. I was always excited to see the comments the judges made. I haven't been to a fair in ages, might be time to fix that. Congratulations on your ribbon. Hope the kids are thrilled.

  2. I haven't entered in the fair for a long time, but I'm going to next week. We have moved to a new area with no quilt guild, so it will be interesting to see what the people in this area are doing with quilts. Congrats on the ribbon!

  6. How wonderful, congratulations!! Those kids are going to be excited. Yes, I am one that enters all kinds of contests at the fair - quilts, crafts and photography are the main areas. This year for the first time I am entering two cooking competitions too! And I am thinking about entering one of the gardening competitions as well.

  10. Wow!! A blue ribbon! That's so great. You must be so proud of your class :)

    I've never entered anything into a fair. Perhaps that will change if we ever settle down in one place. Meanwhile, I'll have to enjoy your entry vicariously!

  13. Congratulations. That is very special. Hear in Australia we call them Shows not fairs but I have often entered in everything from quilts to breakfast trays (yes that's a tray like you would make for breakfast in bed compleate with flowers and cold toast and tea!) I also entered a lot in different craft categories throughout the years.

  18. Congrats on the blue ribbon! How fun for you and the kids! I entered a quilt a few years ago in our county fair, but haven't done that in awhile. We've also entered the photography competition. All three of us did well at that one.
