Friday I spent the day at the county 4-H fair. They had asked to have a few of my quilts for display only. Since I don’t live in that county I am not eligible to compete there, not that I would want to. So I took them “Lazy Afternoon”, “Lady Godiva” and “Bittersweet Memories”. I think the quilts were well received and showed a different aspect of quilting from what a lot of the people expected.

The 4-H Dog Show was Friday so I spent most of the day watching the kids work their dogs in Showmanship and Obedience. You could really tell who had put in the hours and who had left it all til the last minute!

It was fun to look at all of the exhibits and the animals. When my kids were in 4-H years ago, I was the leader for Leatherwork and Dairy Goats; now apparently they don’t do leatherwork but the goats are still there! This cutie wants to be in a quilt!

While waiting for the close of the show, I finished the hand work on the binding of Poppies.

Here’s a close up showing some of the quilting.

The color is not the greatest; I will have to retake the photos for the pattern cover. Oranges and reds are hard to work with in photos – at least for me!
