QUILT SHOW, LANDSCAPE, AND LIFE BACK TO A NORMAL PACE
A day late getting back to my blog, but back to a normal life as well. The quilt show is over and it was a roaring success. 
The Opportunity Quilt raffle at the end of the very busy Saturday and Sunday show. Someone won this beautiful quilt.
This is just half of our boutique. There was a great variety of runners, quilts, and other hand made items for sale. Guild members over the last couple years contributed to over 100 table runners and numerous other quilted items.
The basket raffle was a huge success. There were 39 baskets with all sorts of handmade items. The gift card tree basket overflowed with raffle tickets.
Alex Anderson was our featured guest along with her husband representing The Quilt Show and Alex also has been doing online quilt shows by Facebook and U-tube three times a week. 
This is my current project that Alex Anderson is offering. I started this project with her on Monday the 4th of this month. 
I was able to get my little 4 patch pieces complete all 64 of them before the craziness of the quilt show engaphed me.
Now on to this weeks 64 half square triangles that will be joined with all those little 4 patches. Alex will be giving instructions on these this Monday the 11th. 
Life truly is going to be back to normal. The landscape project also is over. That green lawn is artificial turf. No watering required. Maintenance for the most part free. Just have to blow the leaves off the rocks and lawn now and again. This is the front yard of our home. 
And the side yard done as well. In another week we will be able to park the cars on the driveway again. I can breathe again now and get back to a nice steady pace and a lot more time in the sewing room.
