Troy always takes two pigs and usually comes home with at least one ribbon and this year was no exception. Here are a couple of pictures I pulled from the many I took.
I really liked this one because everybody is blurred besides Troy and the judge. Yeah....i meant to do that.haha
This was after showing. Lots of smiles.I did manage to do some shopping while in Tulsa. There are a couple of nice shops and I visited the Cotton Patch. It's a small shop with lots of stuff packed in to see. Yes...I made a small purchase of a book and some fat quarters.
This is the quilt I saw at the fair that really stood out for me. Have no idea what the pattern is, but it was really pretty in person.I took a few days off work to make it a long 6-day weekend, so am planning on NOT making plans!

What a good looking young man you have there! Love the quilt, very pretty. Enjoy your weekend.
Congrats to Troy and the pig! And I do like your 'deliberate' action shot too!
Yeah, Saska, tell us how you managed to take that action shot of Troy in the show ring, LOL. Congrats for the ribbon.
I have an idea that the quilt may be a variation of a stack and whack only the original quilt just shows the fans and them set on point. I think it is in Reynold's "Stack and Whackier" book but also sold as a single pattern. One of my friends has made on in blues that almost made it look like Delft China. There is a specialty wedge ruler involved.

What great shots - that really takes me back into the ring, all the sounds and the atmosphere of the barns; wonderful! Congrats on a Very Fine Pig!
I like the idea of not making plans...especially if I can get others to not invent plans for me!! Enjoy the long weekend!
I like the idea of a 6 day weekend! Congrats to Troy, well done!
Hey, Hay, Hey, there OkieCookie,
Thanks for visiting my blog, and after looking at your blog, I agree that it fits you well. Feel free to use the artwork for your entertainment pleasure.
I was born in OKC, educated there, and later I also lived in Dewey County for 2 1/1 years - near Vici. Our middle daughter was born in Shattuck, America. A few more miles west and she would have been born a Texan - thank the Lord for big favors!
So the land of red dirt is a big part of my life. Check in often - I appreciate the attention.
I wondered how you achieved that effect with the camera!
Congratulations to your son on his prize. I always like going to the Tulsa fair when we lived in Oklahoma. Loved the big driller at Fair Park. As the mom of 3 grown, married children...I don't think life does slow down..at least not yet for us.Our weekly joke is the week is 40% or 50% over...it flies by.Quicker every year.
