Friday Fun Fact: State Fair Highlights!
Did you make it to the State Fair to check out all the sewing?
I was so impressed with the quality and quantity of the garment submissions this year! Not to mention all the embroidery, quilting, and so much more!
You may have noticed the Treadle Yard Goods awards. Though Treadle donates prizes, we don't actually choose the winners. The State Fair judges determine the outstanding garment entries and we trust them to judge fairly.
Check out my favorite highlights below!
