New Blankets

I made two new blankets this week.  One is colorful fall leaves.  This is a very nice fall blanket.



And I made another Fly Fishing Blanket for a special award for a corporate fishing trip to Canada that is upcoming.  This year the blanket is with a brown reverse instead of red like last years blanket.


Burke Center Fall Festival

Had a very good show at the Burke Fall Festival on September 11 and 12.  Saturday weather was perfect.  Good turn out and a few sales.  And a few orders.  This is a photo of the tent and display from Saturday morning following setup.



Sunday morning did not start out well.  We had a lot of rain during Saturday night and I had to do a little straightening up of the displays and the tent when I arrived at 8:00 am. 

But I was pleasantly surprised when two members of the Burke Festival stopped by and gave me a certificate as an Honorable Mention for Best in Show!  Now that was a great surprise.   As the morning wore on it turned very nice and cleared up.




All in all it was a very good show.
