To the fairgrounds!

I was so disappointed this weekend. I was reviewing the entry packet for the upcoming Minnesota State Fair and thought I had missed the deadline to enter. Thanks to one of my guild members (Thanks, Lisa!), I found out that I can register in person before noon today. So last night, I grabbed two of the quilts I wanted to enter and tossed them in the wash, just to be sure they were free of cat hair. This morning, I found a scrap of the right solid to cover the signature I quilted into one of them and hand stitched that puppy on (it's in the rules). Already told my boss I will be stepping out for my lunch early.

Now, I don't expect I'll be winning any awards, but I hope I see at least one of them on display. Our guild (Minneapolis Modern Quilt Guild) has been asked to enter a bunch of our quilts in the fair, to show that we're here, we're modern, and encouraging people to get used to it.

Here's what I'm entering!

String Theory or Xs and Os

Of course, the last one is quilted, but the finished quilt pic was taken in bad light with a bad background and is otherwise generally bad.

If you're local, I hope to see you at the Great Minnesota Get Together!
