The first day to drop off entries for the NY State Fair Arts & Home competition (crafts division) is Thursday. Everything is done except for the baby quilt, however.....I am almost done with it!!!
I had the hardest time figuring out how to actually do the quilting but thanks to or own Queen of Squishies letting me bounce ideas off her, a neat idea formed. Of course, now that the deadline is fast approaching, I have altered it slightly. I have made a friendship star quilt and done stitching inside each of the stars, but it needed something else.
I have 12 more stars to stitch in the sashing and I should be finished. I have already done the wavy border stitching, but think that I am going to forego the stars in the border as I feel that might be overkill.
As soon as I get it all done, I will get a picture taken and have DH upload the pictures of all my entries so far. I might even get some pictures of the food entries if I remember, though I'm not sure how good they would turn out. Dang, just remembered that i haven't gotten a picture of the cross-stitch entry, so I will have to do that as well.
Anyway, just thought I'd let you know of my progress. Part of what has kept me motivated has been the fact that i promised pictures and I don't want to let the group down .
Larisa, glad to have a cheering section for some of my projects.....next up, my fleece cape for wearing this fall (until I lose the baby weight anyway, though it will probably work when I have her in her sling/carrier)
