This brought a smile to my face thinking about 4-H and all the fun I had at camp and at the fair. I'm so glad to hear your family has been involved in it. I'm sure you are very proud of all those ribbons!

Wow, you have been busy. Congrats!
Well, sort of except we have teh State Fair here in town and tom is the last day. I have been three times!
Went through the Arts/Crafts/Quilts area again today with no one hurrying me along and really cheched out the quilts. My DH kept saying the other day, "can't you make that/ haven't you made something like that/did you enter anything this year/you need to enter such and such next year". What a sweetie. Guess I should listen to him and maybe I will luck out and win some ribbons like you.

That is truly wonderful that you all like to sew/quilt, etc. My mother tried to interest all three of her daughters in sewing, but we would have none of it at the time. We sure did like the clothes she made for us, though! Truth be known, I'm afraid we were an ungrateful lot.

I ended up teaching myself to sew, beginning shortly after I got married. Then a few years ago after watching Simply Quilts for a couple of years, I decided I wanted to quilt. So, I've been in a process of teaching myself to do that!! As a teenager I was the one LEAST likely to be so 'domestic.' Go figure!

Thanks, Maggie! The blackberry jam got a Sweepstakes, and the little Chicklets wall hanging received a Judge's Choice ribbon.
