This year, I decided to enter two quilts in the County Fair. This one took the Grand Prize for "Quilts and Bedspreads". Of course, there were only four quilts entered. When Mom was raising us, I remember her entering sewing and baking projects in the fair each year. One year it was her homemade bread. Another year it was a lovely turquoise wool coat. I have the friendship quilt that earned her a Blue ribbon (which she sewed to the back of the quilt). Homemaking skills were a source of pride and a sign of accomplishment. Now those skills are considered hobbies, to be done in your spare time, as a special treat on Sunday afternoon. Thanks heavens for beautiful fabric, and time to quilt.
