Cake Decorating,Hand Crafts and Quilts: NC State Fair

My nephew KAT graciously agreed to share some Feline Funny to go with today's post.
Thursday they were wheeling through,
he sent me an original riddle!

Aunty do you know what a cat says in Texas?
Meow-dy.  

Dearest Nephew,
MOL MOL MOL MOL MOL
A Georgia Cat says it da best too!!!
Uncle is wondering if you plan to make it to 
New Mexico today?
Lovingly your Aunty HiC



One of our favorite things to do at the NC State Fair is to meander through the Exhibit Hall
All kinds of Crafts, bake goods and just all around fun and every so often free food.

I loved x 87 this Cat/Mermaid cake
There is a torso selfie in the first photo



Of course I was especially interested in the Quilts and hand work this year.
This crocheted bell and ribbon took my breath away


Needlepoint


 This cat looked real enough to jump on my arms
Beautiful green eyes.



Quilts:  There was a man behind the booth with a long shaft periodically turning the 
quilt rack  I hardly had time to admire them




 Miscellaneous
Cross stitch

  1. Love going to the show to see all the hand made items. (I have a policy of not decorating anything that is ruined or eaten in less time than it took me to decorate it!) Looks like you got a good luck. Seem I'm always behind the crowd trying to get a peep.

    Meowdy to all the GA cats.

  14. What a stunning display of crafting talent.
    But I do wonder what the maker of the cat/mermaid cake had been consuming when he or she came up with that idea!
    Cheers, Gail.
