Anyone else enter competitions for your State Fair?  I have eight entries this year!  I am so excited.  I have most entries in quilting, but one in sewing and one in cross stitch.  If I can get it done, I might put one in silk floral design, but I really have to get the sleeves on the larger quilts first.

If not the State Fair, do you enter other competitions?

OK, six views and no replies?  Please, somebody come chat.

ETA - Now 15 views!! 

Carole, I'm not sure I've ever been to a state fair, but I can kind of see myself wanting to make something to submit someday.
I would like to learn to quilt, but I crochet and cross-stitch and do some sewing.

Good luck!

Thanks Chris, entering the fair is easy and fun.  If you have never been to a State FAir, you need to put that on your bucket list.  Every state has one.  Entering the contests just makes it even more fun, gives it a different dimension to see your own projects in the show, winning ribbons is a real rush, and you might know other people competing.  I love it.

I know my daughter has been to the state fair.  She does a stint on call with her emergency squad.  Every year she threatens to bring me  home a
couple of baby chicks.  LOL!!!

You should go at least once, it is such a hoot.  I like looking at all the crafts, and the animals.  I'm not much for carny games or rides, but there are usually shows and enough to keep me busy for a day.  Plus I can have a corn dog and a funnel cake.   Our fair has pig races, has to be seen to be believed.

Maybe I have been, because I know I've seen the racing pigs.  :)            It was long, long ago though.

I got turned off from the state fair the first year I was quilting. I was thinking about entering the 'my first quilt' catagory. Then I seen the winner. There is no way that was a first time quilter. I've seen some pro's not do as well as that was! It was really dishearting to me about shows and contests.
