Hi All, Daughter Paige and I wanted to give an unofficial report from the Michigan State Fair Community Arts and not just the "blip" under Beverly's beutiful Oregon State Fair Winnings (Congrats again!!) I don't want to make it sound like nobody entered their great stuff....because lot's of people did....and I can attest that some eye-popping, stand out, absolutely fantastic item were entered. I was wholeheartedly inspired....(when I had energy to walk around on my feet and enjoy the exhibits).....But, all in all, not as many people entered. The numbers were disappointingly down. That's what I meant if I sounded a bit sad about low entries. Not the quality. I was even quite excited that some members from our Creative Clothing Club entered and did quite well........even won Best of Show!! Yippee! Can't wait till the next meeting when I can give big hugs all 'round! But still....I know so much MORE talents are hidden at home in their closets that will go unrecognized. Not everyone in the average community knows about "us sewers" lurking amongst them unless we reveal ourselves once in a while. My Great Big "Thank You" to all those in all the State Fairs everywhere that take the time to share their talents with the public and inspire.....and I hope you are rewarded at least with a ribbon if not with a heartfelt bit of praise from an admirer. Have a Blessed Day! Joy
