Until I got a little closer and saw the RED RIBBON!!!!
Are you kidding me? Second place!?! I am just over the MOON!!! To say I was surprised doesn't even do my feelings justice. I must have let out a shriek or something, because all of a sudden, other people at the quilt show were peeking around the other quilts at me to see what was going on.
After that, I didn't care that I got wet and dirty wandering the fairgrounds with the boys. We got our dinner, followed up, of course, with yummy funnel cake. We watched them show some cattle, and then checked out the rest of the animals on our own, petting all of them at least twice, I think. The cutest thing, though, was this kid, born right there at the fair just hours before. Isn't he/she just adorable!
Before we got back home, my husband called to let us know that a tree had fallen across our road during the storm, and that we'd have to park the car, climb the fence into our neighbor's pasture, and hoof it back up the last STEEP hill to our house.
To my kids, this sounded like a fun adventure, so they were pretty disappointed when we got home and my AMAZING NEIGHBORS had already cleared the road.
Who says life in the country is slow and boring and predictable? NOT ME!

Well Congratulations! Well done. Your quilt is magnificent and well deserved of the red ribbon and the wet trip to the County Fair well worth it!
That is quite an adventure. Congratulations on a well-deserved award.
Congrats on the red ribbon! We lost 30+ feet of a tree to a tornado years ago, while we were traveling back to town. My wonderful inlaws and neighbors had it moved before we drove up, and my mother was vacuuming up broken glass from the busted window (hail the size of grapefruit) when we arrived. People can be quite nice.
Whoopee!!!!! I'm very proud of you! You do fabulous work so you need to get recognized!
Yeah! YOu deserve that ribbon. Congratulations!
Congratulations Erin! I'm so happy for you it's brought tears to my eyes. Even though unfinished all your hard work paid off and you still handled all the other things that are important in your life. Maybe you do have those super powers after all!

Congrats!!! You are a rock star!
Gorgeous quilt! Such a lovely play of colours. It seems pretty intense -- certainly as much as that bee block you've just finished. Well done!
Congratulations. The picture of you and the quilt is adorable. Except for the fallen tree, you really live in a beautiful part of the country.
