Here is a photo of the tree skirt. I finished it last Christmas just in time to use. The applique is done in wool.
I also won a first place ribbon for this quilt too. The photo taken with the IPhone was not very good so I just posted this one with out the ribbon hanging on it.
I also entered these items:
While exploring the barns we got to watch the sheep being judged. We checked out the cow barn. I forgot how big cows can be when you are standing right near them. We saw the chickens, rabbits, produce, the floral section and all the crafts.
It rained most of the time we were at the fair but it was okay because we don't ride the carnival rides. We spent most of time in the buildings.We did eat too. I had a hot dog and we all shared a blooming onion. My DIL had to try the Crispy Creme hamburger. I had a bite and it was not good to me. She wasn't thrilled with it either but she had to give it a try. My husband always gets a bag of kettle corn. We also shared some homemade vanilla ice cream.
We spent three hours walking around the fairgrounds seeing all the sights. If you have never been to the fair you should attend at least one time. It is a fun experience.
With Passion,
Carrie P.

Hurray! Your work is exquisite and the ribbons are well earned! I'm dropping off jams and my daughter's sewing for the state fair tomorrow (wish me luck).
Congratulations Carrie! I feel the same as Sue...your work is definitely blue ribbon! That tree skirt is stunning!
CONGRATULATIONS CARRIE!!! Oh how awesome is that but I must say I'm not surprised - your work is simply stunning! I miss our state fair so much, my mom used to work at it in the craft building and we'd get in free. Until they closed the whole thing....argh. Be sure to frame your ribbons, with a pic of the wins!
Congrats Carrie!!! We knew you did beautiful work now everyone knows. Hugs
Congratulations Carrie!! Very well deserved ribbons!!
Well deserved. Congratulations. That tree skirt is absolutely gorgeous. Krispy Kreme burger sounds awful. I think Ohio is the home of the Krispy Kreme donut. Mr. Creations one year had to try a deep fried Twinkie. It was first and a last.
Carrie, Look at you go!!! I love the tree skirt, stunning as is all your work. Congratulations!!
Congratulations Carrie , very much deserved , lovely work!
I knew you were a true blue ribbon girl! Congrats!!! We have been wanting to get there but all our schedules aren't working out as we had hoped.
Congratulations on your wins. I'm not surprised at all that you won. You do great work!
Congratulations on your ribbons, they are all wonderful pieces.

Well done, Carrie! You do excellent work, and it's apparent that the judges notice. I can be very proud of yourself. I hope you won some spending money too!
A funny... now that you've mentioned cows, my word verification for this comment is "moolik." Ha!
You shouldn't be surprised by any of those ribbons Carrie - everything is beautiful - especially the tree skirt.
Prize ribbons and Carrie go together very well! Congratulations. Love the Rise and Shine pillow. It's one of my sayings to my daughter in Mexico almost every morning in my emails to her.
Have a wonderful time with you son and DIL!!
Congratulations Carrie - well deserved as we can see! blessings, marlene
Congratulations! Well deserved.
Congratulations!!! All worthy of blue ribbons! The tree skirt is just gorgeous in wool!
All of your work is beautiful Carrie and the ribbons were well deserved. Congrats! Sounds like a fun time to me and what is a Crispy Creme hamburger? I thought they only made doughnuts?!
Your tree skirt is beautiful! Such good inspiration.
Congrats! Your tree skirt is gorgeous! I need to make a new one for us.
I LOVE going to the fair, Carrie! Wow - congratulations on your wins - well deserved, too! Our favorite barns are the ones with goats and those with all the food displays from 4-H!
Cheers!
We toured the exhibit hall last Friday...along with an elephant ear, its my favorite part of the fair. Congrats on the blue ribbons!
Congratulations, Carrie!! Everything is beautiful, but that tree skirt is a real eye-popper. Exquisite!
