Snaps from the Minnesota State Fair!

Well here we are ... all packed into our booth in Heritage Square! One customer told me yesterday that she couldn't believe how much stuff I had in such a small area. All those years of craft shows has finally paid off!

The first day of the fair was perfect! Clear skies, a little breeze and tons of people enjoying the day. I made the walk down to Creative Activities to look at the awards we sponsored and to find quilts from people we know. This one was a winner of our state fair theme ... its to the left in the show case as you come in through the main door of the building. You have to see the whole thing!

Found Jan's flamingo quilt tucked into a display that was all about Florida! Made a pouty face because she didn't have a ribbon pinned to it. I love that quilt. Ooops! Went back to look again and Jan DID win a ribbon ... she got first place. Great job, Jan!!

Beautiful quilt ... middle of the building in that one really large showcase. This was the 'my first applique' choice. My 18th applique project would not look this good!

I think this is the winner for my first quilt. It's in the area where the quilts are hung on racks. You won't believe what I had to do to get this pic. It was pretty funny!

Watch for the signs for the State Fair walking tour. This is the one for Heritage Square. Oh ... and I found the perfect fair food by the band shell in the Square ... herb roasted potatoes on a stick ... for when the thought of any other food on a stick is just a little too much. They were d.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s.!

The view from my 'front door' ... always something interesting to see!

I love every bit of this. Your booth, the hair, the food. I wish I could come to the Minnesota State Fair. I'm there with you in spirit!

Have you always had a booth at the fair? I have not seen you. I am going to look for you this year. How exciting to have a quilt booth at the fair. And I cant wait to visit your store. It looks so cute. Did you see any quilts on a stick? They were at the Minnesota quilt show in Rochester. Funny. You know Minnesotans like everything on a stick.

Looks like fun,fun,fun. The quilt pics are awesome. I think Jan's should have won something! Do they still have the wonderful Sarsaparilla in Heritage Square? So good when you're hot and thirsty. I seem to remember doing some of those hairdo's!
