SOME FINISHED PROJECTS

 Last week after two years I finally had the opportunity to attend the Pacific International Quilt Show in Santa Clara, California.  My guild provides a bus for the event and I joined 35 other ladies for the day.  Lots of wonderful quilts shown and great vendors as well.  I took lots of pictures for inspiration.  I had my list of things to look for and managed to find and purchase all of them.

I finished my daughter's birthday gift this past week.  That and a gift certificate for Chico's to go with it; now we are all ready for them to come for a few days this week to celebrate in person.

I finished the center portion of my Alex Anderson paper pieced project.  I am a bit behind now with four Kaleidoscope blocks and four New York Beauty blocks to work on.  

I may be behind on the paper pieced project, but I have finally finished my bird quilt.  It has sat for a good year ready for quilting.  I finally managed to get that done and got it bound this past week.
