Guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 Excuse me if I do a little bragging, took 17 Crochet items to the Fair (County Show) Took 16 first prizes and one second and had 4 of my items on the Judges Table for best in show, which was won by a quilter,
REDCHEQHEN Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 Well done Hyacinth ! Can't crochet for love nor money, used to cross stitch - but eyes not having any of it despite forking out for reading glasses !
Guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 Thanks very much, I crochet to pass the long winter away and when I'm waiting for my birds to come in from racing. My eyes are getting slightly defunct this was proved when I tried to call 2 crows in in race day lol
Guest Paulo Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 we've all done the crow thing when I was a kid and went up the loft every race day with my dad I'd be that excited I'd be shoutting howay at crows lol well done on your prizes
pender Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 is this a fair for blaggards and swag men lol
mealybar Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 Well done Linda. Never had too much problem with crows, but the wood pigeons all look like their about to fold thier wings an hit the back of my loft :X
MsPigeon Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 Way to go Linda!!!! Aren't county fairs fun!!??? Did you crochet all those in one year? What kind of items are they? Your amazing! All that you do! I learned to crochet when I was a little girl but never seem to find the time for it these days. Carol
Guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 I love the County Fairs and I have entered my work in the Deschutes in a couple of weeks. Being as I am out in the boonies, I usually do my work in the winter, but I'm never without it when I'm travelling or waiting for a race to come home. I entered a variety of items some only smalll like pot holders baby shoes and gloves, but I did a full crhistening outfit and an afghan. I've already started for next year with a Queen sized afghan which is an exact copy of the Stars and Stripes. Thanks for your kind words.
Guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Posted July 13, 2006 i do the same as you linda but i got 17 1st out of 16:)
