PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL QUILT SHOW

I was able this year to attend the Pacific International Quilt Show in Santa Clara, CA.  I had a piece that was shown there, so had to make sure to get a photo of it.  
And there it is in the center.  So pleased to be able to be offered this opportunity.  
Now we all know that quilt shows have vendors.  I have very few opportunities to fabric and notion shop in my area.  So, a quilt show with lots of vendors is pure joy.
Fun background fabric.  I am not a fond of solid fabrics.  I prefer to work with these types of fabrics for backgrounds.  
Now I have a plan for these four combinations and hope to get to that soon.  Thinking pears appliqués on the printed as backgrounds.  More on that later!
And these last three just because they were fun and caught my eye.  Frankly sometimes the vendors are more fun than the quilts in the show.  I did spend plenty of time looking at them too.  Not to mention all the fun demos many of the vendors have.
