The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

Carol St. Clair Johnson
born 1954; resides Albuquerque, NM

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years
2023
satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.

isabel fall was right, btw: “And the moment [queer activists’] work reached a usable stage—the moment society was ready to accept plastic gender, and scientists were ready to manipulate it—the military found a new resource…the military can make gender tactical.”

this is the last sweater for a while, both because it's getting too hot to wrestle a wooly octopus on my lap and because I broke my needles on this one. RIP size five chiaogoos, you will be missed. #Skelfigan #Knitting #FinishedObject

I finished one sweater this year. that's better than zero sweaters, which is my usual number. this was a good road trip project. this is a hexagon sweater with a shawl collar and a pocket. it is too big in a very cozy way. #Crochet

I'm wearing a large, long grey and burgundy crochet cardigan. I have my hands in front of me but the sleeves are very long and the cuffs hide my hands.

I'm standing with my arms outstretched slightly, displaying the stripes on my grey and red cardigan. It has a large pocket on the right side.

I am leaning forward slightly, with my hand holding the two sides of my cardigan together. The cardigan has a deep shawl collar with a cozy ribbed texture.

I have my hand in the pocket of my large grey and red cardigan. the sleeve is voluminous, and it is bunched up around my elbow, just above the pocket.
