Handquilting at the Fair

The county fair opens today. I will be going tomorrow. Want to see if my
wholecloth wins anything. I will be working the Guild's booth in the Home
and Hobbies hall on the 21st from 12-2. Last night when I was getting my
free ticket and parking pass from the President for the 21st she asked me if
I could hang around the fair after I work and come back at 3 to do a
handquilting demo. I am working on another wholecloth and will have it with
me at the fair to work on while I am doing my 12-2 stint. I felt really
honored to be asked to demo handquilting. What makes it weird is:

1) I do not use anykind of hoop
2) I am told by several people that I don't use the thimble properly

My work does get finished so 1 & 2 are really not relevant as far as I can
see!

Congratulations Debbi. Do it your way and explain that it works for you but
it's not the only way. Just enjoy yourself and have a good time.

Hope your quilt comes in first place!

We will be going, already got our passes, but we might have too much on our
plate for Saturday. More then likely we will be going during the week. I
will keep my eyes pealed for your quilt.

oh, NM, I realized you are working it on the 21st, I will try to bring my
boys by that day to come & see you....and to just think, I stopped by their
booth last year, with all these questions about quilting, being a non
quilter at the time...and look at me now!

Depending on what time you came by the booth last year, I was working that
day too. Was working on the quilt that is now showing at the fair. I doubt
that the one I am doing this year will be ready for next year's show. Hope
to see ya on the 21st.
