I just wanted to let everyone know that it isn't too late to make an entry in the Michigan State Fair........they extended the deadline - but you have to get your entry paperwork in the mail TODAY!! Then, project turn-in dates are Aug 1-3rd. This is the 100th State Fair in Detroit so special ribbons are being awarded this year!!! For more information and to view all the categories in the premium book ....

They did add a whole bunch of new sewing divisions. And...some of them are not full. Good luck, Joy

My daughter is volunteering in the office of the Michigan State Fair so I got wind that they still have display room for Heirloom Quilts too! (class 130) ....... Since the fair is celebrating 100 years in Detroit they have a couple special divisions like this one where the item doesn't have to be made by you but is an opportunity to display a piece of heritage. They also have an Heirloom Sewing category where you can enter and display an article sewn by a loved one....it will be displayed behind glass.

Looking over the premium book I just noticed a couple new categories that cought my eye.......... Only for 2005.....you can win $20 for an Apron (class 440 a,b,c) and New for 2005 "Before & After" where your creativity and skill are used to re-use an item like...... class 450. An original garment taken apart completely recut to make a new outfit. class 451 Additions added (eg. collar, cuffs, decorative accents etc. class 452 Household Linens used in clothing

ps. Is anyone entering their State Fair? The last conversation went off on 4-H topic and nobody ever mentioned if and what they might be entering. Over in the canning newsgroup everyone is buzzing with their hopes and posts of ribbon dreams and winnings. Wonder why it isn't the same with sewing?
