crocheted Christening Gown and Bonnet
August 2016 |
A gorgeous Christening gown and bonnet: I hope this will become a treasured heirloom for the crafter's family. I was thrilled to see it won a blue ribbon and a Champion ribbon for its Division.

a quilt with "heart"
August 2016 |
A quilt with "Heart" in the 4-H building: the heart made the simple design even more powerful. I hope to copy the idea for a Quilt of Valor.

a fun array of pincushions
August 2016 |
A variety of pincushions: a hat, doughnuts, chickens, a sewing machine, a slice of cake, and an owl with scissors for spectacles. They were cute and just plain fun!
What a nice array of items. Everything is so nice. And some of those pincushions are just down-right silly/fun. We don't have any fairs like this in my neck of the woods (eastern PA)and I wish we did! There was a recent 4-H fair locally, but no real crafts (plus it was too blasted hot to go anyway).
ReplyDeleteYou're right - that christening gown will hopefully become a family heirloom. It's beautiful. The heart in that zig-zag design is a fun idea. Have fun at the fair. I love going to fairs, but haven't had a chance the past couple of years. Maybe this will be the year!
ReplyDeleteSo nice!!... beautiful work and great ideas!!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt pattern would be excellent for a quilt of valor.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing the displays at my local fair, but didn't think to take photos. Thanks for sharing yours!
Beautiful work on all of these. That christening gown is gorgeous. I go to our county fair pretty much only to see the handmade items like this. The craftsmanship always amazes me. Each year I think I'll put something in for the next fair and each year I forget!
