We had a wonderful time at the Cotton Extravaganza this year! We had four girls entered, each in two groups...active wear and party time. We took home nice awards for our work and lots of compliments. The girls enjoyed modeling and the fun of a "fashion show".
Our Roosevelt County Fair is going on and we have had NUMEROUS wins with our sewing. We'll try to get some pictures up but if it weren't for us, the sewing booth would be half empty. We each brought in about 20 items! And most of them ribboned!
We also ventured into the Fancy Cake contest. Very stiff competition from a group of senior ladies that have been dominating this event for years. We took a third and there might be some mutterings amongst the established fair goers! I mean really, who are these upstarts? They haven't even hit 50 yet! Seriously, every time we brought an item in to enter it, we were met with enthusiasm. Some of the arts of sewing and baking are dying and the older ladies are very excited to see us happily delving into the classics.
Our ducks did quite well and we are happy to say that our pair of Rouen ducks took Best WaterFowl and Reserve WaterFowl! GO TEAM!!!
We are very close to starting our fabric sales. We have almost everything lined up, but we want to do this right, so please forgive us if it takes a little bit longer. We are looking at some Free Spirit fabrics by Valorie Wells. We'll keep ya posted!
