Well nothing was getting done around here as it was Fair Week. It's not that I show my tomatoes or anything, they are really not competitive quality.
But I agreed to do the live blog from the local fair. Every hour during the day I posted about events. It was exhausting. I had to eat a lot of pie and sit around and watch the happenings.
It's not the official county fair, just a small-town fair that's been going on for over 100 years, pretty much the same.
The textile division shows quilts and antique aprons.
Robin's in charge of textiles.
There's judging for soybeans, corn and cookies, etc.
And crafts.
I bring this up because Moda is going to conduct another month-long blog hop and the theme is Country Fair. The blog hop features a different Moda designer every day and starts on September 6. It runs through October 2.
Free projects and prizes!
My date to blog is September 19th. I'll post a list in the left hand column so you can link to the Blog Hop every day.

I love country fairs like this... how fun.. the photos are fab! Felt like I was there myself...
Sounds like a lot of fun. I will be sure to go to the fair in Sept. See you on the 19th.
I love small country fairs. Do you know the name of the pattern on the quilt above the soybean photo and where I can find it? I have never seen it before and I would really like to make one.
Our fair is not worth going to, mostly concession stands for food, lol. That looks like a fun fair and can't wait to visit the moda hop.

Small fairs are to be cherished. Thanks for sharing yours with us.
Well the quilts are worth the trip, how beautiful. Sitting around eating pie....hmm sounds good to me. Looking forward to the blog.
That hexagon pattern was published twice by the Kansas City Star once as Whirling Hexagon, once as Texas Trellis. Here's a link to a current pattern source.
