The Fair

Hubby and I went to the Long Island Fair last weekend. It took two tries to get in. The parking lot was full on Saturday and the satellite lot had too much traffic to get to it. We went back early on Sunday and had no trouble getting in.

Here are a few pictures. I have to start with the iconic image of this fair. 

 Below is the building that houses all of the crafts, culinary and floral entries.

Floral arranging entries.

 A few more.

These are the individual flowers.

Isn't this baby blanket is adorable?

Elmo is so cute.

 Another pretty crocheted afghan with some cross-stitched flowers.

I believe this is another crocheted afghan although it could be knitted.

This is more impressive in person.

Some quilts.

This is the blue ribbon winner of the Advanced quilts.

The embroidery is so beautifully stitched.

This is the second place Advanced quilt.

Here are all of the Advanced entries.

My shawl couldn't win against these beauties.

I won a second place ribbon for my Autumn angel and an honorable mention too.

I hope you enjoyed the picture tour.

I got a little bit of stitching done on Baker Beach this past week. 

I still have to fill in those dots above the rock. It looks a little weird right now. I am enjoying working on the blue. 

I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching today. I will try to work on Baker Beach a little bit, but I am a little down with a cold and my son is visiting. Tomorrow I will join the Stitchery Link Party. Pop on over to these sites to see what other bloggers are stitching.

Thanks for stopping by!
