Needlework at the State Fair

We went to the Minnesota State Fair today. Thank goodness it was a cooler day!


One of my first stops at the Fair is the Creative Activities building where all the needlework is displayed. A few of these pictures are from the Senior Building; there is needlework on display there too. Lots to see; this is just a small sampling!

Some Hardanger...


Some handmade lace...most of these pieces are tatted...



And a few other pieces that I thought were especially nice...


Of course, one of my favorite needle artists can also be found at the Fair. Recognize her?




My mom demonstrated tatting 9 out of the last 11 days! She loves the Fair!

  4. Your Mom's work is gorgeous! I am so honored to have some.

    Hey, did you of Mom enter any of your work in the Fair?
    I would LOVE to have a local fair to enter in. I know Vonna enters, and wins (no surprise there), you should too.
