show time..........

our local show has come to an end.....part of why I have been busy lately...........I helped steward the sewing section this year...........I really enjoyed it........hopefully we can get a few more entries in more sections next year..........
.....I got the binding finished on this quilt in time to enter..........no prizes but I will try and take some pics over the next few days to show you it better......
remember this one I did last year............. 2nd in the flannel quilt section.............
and I am very excited as I managed to win the Champion in the "local" photography section.........a few other first and seconds...........lots of fun.............kids had some entires and a few wins in different sections...........
Luckily the weather has been wonderful for the show this year...............last year was a terrible wash out and the usual saying in town in bring on the show as it is bound to rain..........it was so nice to wander around with lovely weather............and I also brought some chooks while at the show.............(like you do)............can't wait to pick them up and will show you some photos..........they are beautiful...........
Catch you later..............

PS winter is definitely here today..........the fire is lit and keeping us warm............

That quilt should have got a 1st it looks great, how I miss the country show, looked forward each year to ours when I was a kid, hate the Easter show, way too expensive.
Looking forward to seeing those lovely chook pics

Well done on the wins. Show comps are fun to enter. And you're right about getting more people to enter. I used to enter the boiled fruit cake section in our show. There was one lady who was fabulous. Won lots. I was ever so glad when they made her a judge! It gave the rest of us a chance.
