It's our day! What a great start we have had. There will be no pie fights though. I think the best way is to just jump right in. Lissa Alexander, our fearless leader sent us a few questions to get this ball rolling.
1. What is on your bucket list? - That's easy, I've always wanted to go to Ireland - Polly.
Well, that's a good one. I think mine would be to take a summer off and visit all the Major League Baseball parks and watch a game in each. - Laurie
2. What's would be your favorite thing "deep fried" at the fair? - Milky Way candy bar - Polly
I whole heartedly agree! - Laurie
Which brings me to this fun fact - Not all Milky Way candy bars are created equal.
You know the little Milky Way bars that you hand out at Halloween? Forget them. Barely a Milky Way. I Don't know why, but they just aren't. The regular Milky Way - Wonderful. They've been a Minick and Simpson favorite for over 50 years, but the new 2 To Go Milky Way bar - PERFECTION! It is different. Basically, there's a greater caramel to nougat ratio. Genius! Polly told me, I told Leigh Ann, and now there is a 2 To Go Milky Way stash that follows us around. I'm sure there will be some at Quilt Market. One could only imagine the sublime candy ecstasy that would be a deep fried/2 To Go Milky Way. It should be on our bucket list.
3. Your favorite Country Fair memory..... Well, I don't know about favorite, but it's a memory - for Polly. I sadly, don't have any. (Again, if you are new to the blog - Polly and I are sisters who have the same parents, but completely different childhoods due to a 16 year age difference).
Polly joined 4H when she was a pre-teen. We lived in a small rural town and we lived in town.
Most of Polly's friends were farm kids and she wanted to do what they did, so she joined. Soon after there was talk of participating in the County Fair. Animal husbandry was out of the question for obvious reasons. Next was a sewing challenge. A dish towel. With lots of help and guidance (basically her friend Mary Lee sewed it) the dish towel was completed. The baking challenge for the county fair loomed. The competition for her age group was a cupcake challenge. Bakers were to make white cupcakes with white frosting. A plate was given to the contestants so all entries would look more or less the same. Polly tackled the challenge with enthusiasm and submitted her 3 cupcakes. The 4H girls then left the baking exhibit and enjoyed the fair. When they returned they were elated as Polly had won!!! A blue ribbon! Imagine her embarrassment when her friends asked about her recipe and she said she used this.
Not everyone saw the humor in the situation. Today we think it's pretty hysterical. Sadly, our Mother was not a baker. If there was a cake in the house it came from a bakery. Just rounding up a wooden spoon, bowl, and cupcake tin was a challenge for Polly. What else was a resourceful girl to do? Polly was pretty proud of herself that she bought the BEST mix. Obviously. It did win the blue ribbon. Well done, Mr. Duncan Hines! Blue ribbon indeed.
In honor of Polly's long ago Blue Ribbon - here is our project - a Blue Ribbon pincushion. We thought our Grandfathers' award winning horses were a better subject than the infamous cupcakes.
Hey, Everyone!!! Here is where you go to download the pattern!
If you leave a comment here, you could be one of the 3 winners of Prairie Paisley II pre-cuts. Someone will win a Fat 1/8th bundle, or a Layer Cake™, or a Jelly Roll™ - The Random Number Generator will pick three winners. Make your comment before Midnight Wednesday September 14th.
Thanks for stopping by. Make sure to visit Sandy of American Jane tomorrow for the next stop on the Moda Country Fair Blog Hop.

That would be a fun one for the horse lovers. I love the paisley fabrics, would be fun to work with.
Debbie
The blue ribbon pincushion is great, thanks for sharing it.
I can only dream of winning the paisley fabrics....ever since I was about 9 or 10 I've had a thing for paisley....not one of those over the top things, but a gentle liking of them....even when they went out of fashion, I still liked them, so these precuts would make my day!
Hugs
Naomi
I don't have paisley in my stash so it would make a great addition if I won, thanks for the chance.
Had to laugh about the baking contest. Mum tells me that story is not the only Blue ribbon tale she has heard of in all her baking years.The best one she told me is about the lady who bought scones from the local baker and passed them off as her own, she won the ribbon. When the local baker found out who won, he never told a soul for years. But he did have a very regular customer who spent alot in his store!! Thanks for sharing the pincushion. I am going to combine your pattern with Bunny Hills cupcake seems only fitting with your story.
I like the dark Milky Way bars but I'll have to give that new one a try. I've never had a Milky Way deep fried but will put that on my list too.
Great story! The pincushion is a sweet way to remember. Thanks for the giveaway chance!
Oh the cake story! Adorable!
My favorite Milky Way is the dark one. I've had the 2 to go but didn't notice the different caramel/nougat ratio. Thanks for giving me a reason to go buy one. :)
ohmygosh, I'll be laughing about that cupcake story for a long time! It's great! Neat pincushion! I love these fabrics and would so enjoy working with them! Thanks for the opportunity.
I love the pincushion. I've loved horses all my life and coincidentally Milky Way has been my favorite candy bar for as long as I can remember (of course I'm 61 no so how far back I remember could be questionable, LOL). Nah...since I was a little kid it has been my favorite. Thanks for a chance to have some Prairie Paisley treasure. Hugs...
I am so looking forward to Prairie Paisley II coming to stores loved the first one,can't wait to cut into the the new range.
I have noticed that Milky Ways aren't as thick as they used to be either!
Great story about the cupcakes! I am so looking forward to Praire Paisley Two!!! I have seen the orginal fabric used in quilts and was disappointed that I had missed the line and finally it back and looks even better.
This pincuchion is a winner...my son's first ever entry in the fair (Snickerdoodles) won the Grand Champion...with a name like that, they deserved to win.
What a great story! Duncan Hines has always been my favorite "recipe" for cakes and cupcakes. . .I'm glad to know that the mixes are "winners"!
What a funny story! Gotta love Duncan Hines☺
The pincushio is super cute! Thanks for the chance to win!
A fun cake story!! But I had a hard time getting pass that new Milky Way Bar -oh yum!
Would love to add some of that paisley to my own stash...great design and colorway.
Love your Prairie Paisley Fabric 1 and now 2, cant wait. Thanks for the
chance to win!
Great story and great job in what you both do! Love the fabric, would love to work with it.
Ronnie in Washington
Cute pincushion. Thanks for sharing it. Love to win the fabrics.
Love the pincushion pattern, thanks for sharing it and the cupcake story!
Love all of your fabrics, and this line is especially appealing.
Cute story -- never entered anything in our local fair myself. Thanks for the chance to win. Love your fabrics. My first pieced quilt was with 'Flag Day Farms' and to this day it is my favorite.
I love Paisleys and have been collecting them to make a "Special Paisley Quilt". Thanks for a chance to add to my collection.
Your post has me hungry for fried milky ways and cupcakes. I always thought Duncan Hines made the best cake. My mom won a prize with their Devil's Food. Thanks for the giveaway.
The paisley fabric is cute - I've never seen it before! And I'm sure that even with a mix, any cake I make would never even get past the judges... that is a great story! Thanks for the chacne to work with those fun fabrics!
Did you hear the Texas State Fair is going to have deep fried bubblegum this year? I may have to go this year just so I can try it.
A really fun post and wonderful giveaway prizes. Boy, would I love to win.
I love Milky Ways too! Will have to try the 2 to go ones. Thanks for sharing the pincushion pattern, am also a horse lover! Love the new paisley fabrics, would love to sew them into a festive holiday quilt!
The pincushion is a Blue ribbon winner!! L0VE it!
Thanks SEW much for the chance to win this wonderful fabric!! I could create a blue ribbon quilt with this lovely fabric! :O)
Take care!
Paulette
I have a granddaughter who will soon be 12 and we just gave her her first sewing machine of her own. She has been sewing for awhile, but now is doing so with gusto! She LOVES horses and this would be a fabulous pin cushion for her!
AND I love the fabric and would love to have my name drawn!
Thanks for a chance to win. I love paisley fabric. Margaret Foster
Yea! More red, white and blue fabric to go with the rest of your collections that I have. Please, random generator, pick me!
That must be a good brand of cake to turn out such award winning cupcakes- I'm sure the mixing and icing would have also played a part. thank you for the pattern
I am so excited that there will be a new Prairie Paisley collection...I knew I was hoarding my scraps for a reason!
I had never heard of the 2 to go Milky Ways...I will have to check them out!
Thanks for the chance to win your beautiful fabric!
In the movie, Calendar Girls, one of the ladies won the cake baking contest with a store bought cake. So you were one up on her!! Milky Ways - sublime!!
Love your story about winning the blue ribbon at the fair! And I'm excited about your new line of fabrics. Very, very nice!
Kathy
I would have to say that the Milky Way dark is my favorite candy bar! Love the 4-H story.
I do believe that would be my daughter's choice of how to bake a cake even though I taught her better. Some people just don't enjoy the kitchen is her reply. I just sigh and pray for my grandchildren. Love the fabric!
Thanks for the fun! And I love those fabrics!
Love the colors and designs in Prairie Paisley II! Thank you for the chance to win! The cupcake story was great, thanks for sharing it!
Beautiful fabric! I'm pretty sure it's hard to beat a cake mix!
I just love the fair story with the cupcakes. I've never entered anything in the fair. I loved to cook and sew growing up, but our family never went to the fair. The milky way candy bar is my favorite too. I've never heard of it deep fat fried. Are you kidding us? Won't it melt? I'm very curios about this. Thanks for the adorable pincushion pattern and the generous giveaway.
Karen M
I love the cake story, and the fabric too!
Hi Laury,
I love your new Prairy Paisley fabric line, especialy the cheater on top.
Muchas gracias por el patrón .... y por los pastelitos !!!!
Me encantan las telas que sortean.
Un beso
I love your packet mix cupcake story, I have been complimented on my packet mix cakes a few times too!! I always say it is a family secret that only gets handed down from mother to daughter :)
I l-o-v-e horses! What a cute project. Thank you for the project and for the chance to win some of your fabric!
Love the paisley fabric........my favorite fabric is patriotic fabric..........wish I had the guts to enter something cool in the fair...
Having visiting Ireland on your bucket list is a great one,
Elaine from Ireland

The pincushion is so cute!!!
Thank you for the chance to win!
So you were separated at birth by 16 years, right? We have something similar in our family & with 5 kids, we were all raised as only children. It worked for us!
I've never even seen paisley fabrics for quilting before!
Count me in please!!
LOL the cupcake story cracked me up - and I LOVE your project! I have a cousin who races horses, he would love this, I'm going to make it for him for Christmas. Thank you!
Ha ha love the cake story!! :)
that is such a great story - glad Polly got to keep her ribbon :)
Nice pincushion.
Love the pin cushion. I have a niece that will love it. Thanks for sharing your story.
Love the fabrics and pin cushion. Looking for some paisley for my niece's wall hanging. Might be just the thing.
Oh, the paisly's just divine & in red, white & blue.....better still.
I'm really enjoying all of the Country Moda Fair stories from the designers
Great cake story. The pincushion is real cute. Thanks for the chance to win.
Love the horse on the pincushion! And Polly - you must come and visit Ireland, there's a warm welcome waiting for you!
Am new to your blog so have spent a lovely half hour looking around (should be ironing, but we won't talk about that). Love blog hops!
The Paisley fabric is gorgeous. I will cross my fingers! Thanks for the chance
I love the paisley fabric and shouldn't it be great to win some of it! Could make something wonderful out of it.
What a fun blog! Loved the "prize winning cupcake" story and the pincushion project too. Thank you for the chance to win the paisley fabrics--they would go great with my stash!
I love the blue ribbon pin cushion. Thanks for sharing.
love the cake story, back then that was baking from scratch! lol The new fabric line looks great!
Cute cake story! I enjoy your website and love your style. Thank you for the giveaway. Brenda
love the pincushion! thanks for sharing it.
I would love a little Prairie Paisley II. I really liked the original. I love the idea of using non-traditional fabrics to make patriot quilts.
Your story about the cakes made me laugh.
The pincushion is great and I will have to download that and make some. After all, Christmas is coming!
What a great story. Thanks for the pincushion pattern.
Many greeting from Germany
Gudrun
Love this new line of fabric!
Love, love, love your paisley.
What a beautiful Pincushion my daughter loves horses so this would be a great gift for here !!
This giveaway is so so beautiful I love to join.
Ellen
Hahahaah, Duncan Hines. Makes me think of that TV episode where the characters sell their grandmother's secret sauce recipe until they realize that it was actually Betty Crocker. Heeee..
The fabric is beautiful, I hope I win!
Ah, Polly is my kind of baker. My mother didn't bake either, so I say it's in the genes and chromosomes! Love PP2! You hit a home run - again!
When I was in 4-H I had a good friend (a boy) that was in 4-H with us. He always made perfectly round cookies with nice smooth edges. I never could figure out how he did this and accused him of his mother making them for him. Now, many years later, I hope he doesn't remember that. lol
Love the fabric and would love to win.
Loved your cake story and thanks for the adorable pin cushion. I so love paisley and am always on the lookout for new paisley fabric. These precuts would be so fun to work with at my house!
What a great story! And the pin cushion is too cute. I concur on the Milky ways, the 2 to go ROCK!
Love a fair story. our fair is the end of the month.
thanks for the pin cushion.
I didn't know you were sisters! Cute stories! I'd love to win some paisley fabric! Thanks for the giveaway.
Thanks for the giveaway -- and the free pattern too! Great story!
Looks like a great line of fabrics to do lots of fun things with.
Love the running horse. The paisley fabrics are gorgeous. Thanks for the giveaway.
Long gone are the days where they gave plates out. My granddaughter made a pie and used my daughter's
Pampered Chef pie pan. When they went back to pick up their pie
plates my daughter's had disappeared. No body had a clue where it went or with whom.
That was her last year of 4-H.
Thanks for sharing too!!!
Great story about the cupcakes, we have similar one about a brownie contest we had last year at a family reunion!!
What a great cake story! I loved Prairie Paisley so I know I will have to get Prairie Paisley II or win some.
Have you ever tried deep fried oreos? They're pretty good but now I really want to try a deep fried candy bar. I missed the first Prairie Paisley because I was just getting into quilting and didn't know that fabric lines don't stay around forever!
What a great post! I loved Prairie Paisley 1 and I know I will love number 2 just as much! Thanks for such a great giveaway and chance to win!
I see nothing wrong with entering those cupcakes! That is exactly what I would have done....today & yesterday. LOL Good thing my daughter never wanted to be in 4H she would have had the same problems. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the neat project! Love those stories too! Thanks
Pat D
Love the Prarie Paisley can't wait to get some -Another great collection.
And yeah for the dark Milky Way - I can't even let them in the house - I would eat every one myself
Thank you for the early morning giggle. Your fabric is beautiful. Love your work.
Thanks for the pin cushion pattern. I love your fabric and enjoy reading your blog. bevsulecki@yahoo.com
Looking forward to the next collection for Prairie Paisley. I missed the first time around. Now I know it is coming soon I will keep my eyes open and get plenty this time
The cupcake story is hilarious! Thanks for the cute pincushion pattern. Also, thanks for the chance to win.
LOL, great cupcake story! Thanks for a fun blog hop and cut pin cushion.
Someone recently complimented a cake I made...went on and on about it actually...but I really didn't understand the big deal! It was from a box. All I did was follow the directions! Duncan Hines does it again...
I love the fabric! I don't see much red white and blue stuff.
Loved hearing about 4-H and fairs. Sounds like my childhood. And thanks SO MUCH for reincarnating Prairie Paisley. I loved it the first time and will love it again I am sure.
Love the pin cushion, love the fabric. Thanks for the giveaway.
Out here in darkest Africa we don't have the same Milky Bars that you do in the States, but we do have horses, and this pinchushion is a sure thing for a Christmas giftie for a quilting friend of mine who at 74 is winning all the prizes in dressage at local horse shows. Quite amazing. The Prairie Paisleys I'll keep for myself!
....Margaret
LOVE your cupcake story!! And your paisley fabrics are gorgeous. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Love the cupcake story and, of course, love the fabric and the opportunity to win.
Thanks for the chance of winning. Just love red, white and blue quilts and paisley.
I love the cake story! I would really love to win those beautiful fabrics. Thank you for the dorable project!
Hillarious 4H story! Love the paisley fabrics.
I know a horse lover who will love this pincushion. Thanks for sharing.
Loved the confession :) I still need to make a patriotic quilt for my son to hang in his room, and PPII would would be awesome. Now just need to add the Milky Way to my shopping list...
Thanks for the wonderful cupcake story! My Mother wasn't a baker either. She was fabulous at real meals, but not so good with baking and candy. One Christmas, she and I made fudge. Unfortunately, I grapped the McCormick Root Beer extract instead of the McCormick vanilla extract. That was the last time we made candy together:) Thanks for designing Prairie Paisley II.I've been hoarding my scraps of the first line.
My niece really loves my out of the box chocolate cake with out of the can frosting! Thanks for the pincushion pattern. Love your fabric.
I think that the blue ribbon for box cupcakes is a great story! Looking forward to the rest of the stories in the blog hop! Thanks for your participation!
I love the new fabric! Great cupcake story!
I love the blue ribbon story! It sure got the best of the cake mix snobs. Thanks for the pin cushion pattern...and thank you for the chance to win some of your gorgeous fabric! ;-)

That cake story is great! The fabric are beautiful, I can think of a family member who would love a quilt out of those.
One can never have too many pincushions, thank you. Googled quilts made with Prairie Paisley and each one was beautiful. The blues and reds are just right.
Your cup cake story is priceless. Thanks for all the patterns and fabrics that both of you put out. Thanks also for a chance to win a touch of your new line.
Love the cupcake story! Thanks for the giveaway! I love the colors of the fabrics!

The paisley fabric is so pretty. Thanks for sharing.
Had daughters in 4-H baking and have some fun stories too! Thanks for the chance to win and for the pincushion pattern.
Always wanted to be in 4H. I lived in a big city with no access. Thanks for sharing all your creative ideas!
We still are involved in 4-H and people are still using cake mixs for their projects. A judge I know told me it's still a problem. lol
Can't believe what wonderful "fair memories" were created by my children at the Ross County Fair in Ohio. They were "horse kids" so we lived at the fairgrounds for a week and had "fun shows" every day. I treasure those times. Thanks for the neat horse pincushion and the truely yummy fabric as well!
Enjoyed the Fair story....good for you!! I love the paisley fabrics and would LOVE to win the prize!! Thanks for sharing.
Great idea. Thanks for the giveaway.
Love the new fabric! now to wait for it to show up in the shops.
That's a great cupcake story! And thanks for the news about the 2 To Go Milky Way. I'm a pushover for caramel. Thanks for the chance to win some Prairie Paisley II!
Great 4-H story. lol thanks for the great giveaway and the pattern! I am making it for my college daughter who loves horses and loves to sew. thanks again.
What a great 4H story - too funny! the pincushion is as cute as ever, can't wait to whip one up! Love your creations and colorways!

I love horses and pincushions, thank you for the pattern. Duncan Hines cupcakes are blue ribbon winners in my house too!
What a fun post!
Enjoying this Blog Hop!
I won a blue ribbon once for a German chocolate cake. Wish I still had the recipe. PattiO
The cake story gave me a good chuckle this morning! Thanks for all the beautiful projects and fabric - looking forward to seeing Prairie Paisley II in my LQS!
I am learning so much about the Americian food habits on this blog hop. Thanks for the opportunity to win some fantastic fabric.
Happy days.
Bev.xoxo
Hi!
Thank you for the pattern and the give away of your new fabric line!
Red, White and Blue works for so many in so many ways!
Take care, Leslie
Love that paisley!
And completely 'get' the cupcake story. Our favourite brownies come from a packet...
I LOVE Polly's cake story-a girl has to do what a girl has to do! Even though we (Polly)are probably close in age, our childhoods were entirely different (we were poor) we never had a cake mix in the house! If we wanted dessert we had to make it (from scratch). Love the new Paisley print and the pin cushion is wonderful!
My sister and I have the same age difference, and I frequently remind her we were not raised in the "same house". I'm SO excited about this fabric line - PP #1 remains one of my favorites, and can't wait to get my hands on PP #2 - thanks for the opportunity!
Thanks for the great giveaway and the inspirational blog.
Thank you for the free template pattern! And thank you for a chance to win. :-)
Love the red, white and blue fabric line!
I have a good friend who has horses, and is a quilter! I just found the perfect gift for her!!
Thanks so much
Dorothy in IL
That was a great story. Thank you for sharing it. And, thank you for the great pincushion pattern. Take care and God bless, Cory
Enjoyed the stories! Love the fabric!
you've made me hungry for a Milky Way! Thanks for the giveaway!
I think I need some of the paisley fabric....desperately!!!! Thanks for the giveaway!
Wow you have had a few visitors! I am so glad that you were able to get involved with the fair being in the city and all. Polly was lucky to have some wonderful farm friends.
Blue ribbons are always memorable.
What a wonderful way to start the week! Love the paisley fabrics and pincushion.

My bucket list would have Milky Ways on it too! Do you share the 2 bars, or do you get them both!!
I'd love to win the prairie paisley to add to the stash of it I already have. Love your fabrics. Cute story about the cupcakes. I was a 4-Her myself so I can relate. Thanks for all of your inspiration.
The new paisley line is yummy!! Enjoying the hop! Keep up the great work!
Prarie paisley 1 was a favorite, so are Milky Way Bars!
I love the paisley fabrics --
Thanks for the good stories. Needed a reason for the Milky Way. Really like the paisley collection. This has been fun.
Cathy
I love the pin cushion, Thanks! Cheer, Cheer for a Milky Way!
Reading your blue ribbon cake story brings back memories of going to the fair when I was young. What fun we had. Thanks for sharing and for a chance at winning.
Love the winning recipe! (bet it's not the ONLY time that recipe has won!)
And I love the pincushion pattern and a chance to win your fabulous fabrics...another winning recipe! Thanks for the chance!
I'll be attending our country fair on Wednesday. I will have to look for those deep fried Milky Ways.
Thanks for the opportunity to win this beautiful fabric!
Great cake story and great fabric!!!
I love Prairie Paisley so I know that Prairie Paisley II will also be a favorite. The cake story was so cute!
Loved the cupcake story. Duncan Hines has always been my go-to for cupcakes. Also love there is going to be a second round Prairie Paisley - so pretty!

Thanks, Maggey
Love the pin cushion and would love to win!!
The first quilt I ever made had a teal and maroon paisley fabric as a main fabric. I still love it, even after all these years. I love the blue ribbon story, Mr. Hines must be sooo proud.:) Thank you for all your inspiration!!! ;->
Thanks for sharing the cake story and the pattern!! And another thank you for the opportunity to enter your great giveaway!
Prairie Paisley might just be my new favorite line of fabric. It's awesome,love the colors, designs, everything about it. Had a deep-fried Milky Way at the state fair just two weeks ago, there's nothing like it!
Very cute pincushion!
I love the dark Milky Way bars best...so far. I'll have to try the new one but nothing fired, thank you!
I LOVE Paisley!
Teresa
When I was about 6 I went to the fair and got cotton candy on my knee, which caused me to limp. There was a polio epidemic and my parents rushed me to the hospital, only to have my knee washed off. Love the new fabric; you've converted me to a red, white and blue lover.
love visiting all these blogs. have fun at apple school :)
