So there you have it. One year's worth of completed projects. I'm still hoping to finish one more before the year is over, but 26 finished quilts is a pretty good showing for the year.

Gorgeous! And what a productive year you've had!
That was great, a quilt show with old friends.
My gosh, I knew you'd been busy but this is really an impressive display! I wish I lived nearby so you could teach me some skills!
Wow! Gorgeous projects! I wish I was as productive.
Love the show-gorgeous quilts.
A great selection of finishes. Some I haven't seen before, doll quilts for instance. I like them all. Do you sometimes look back and say, "Did I make that?" They're beautiful. Thank you.
I think that is a fabulous showing for the year. Congrats on completing so many great projects.
Good Job! Beautiful!
Oh my, Barbara.... that's more than two a month.... incredible! You certainly inspire me with your creativity...quilt on!
Lots of wonderful quilts and pieces, you really have been busy this year.

You sure have accomplished a lot in 2014 and all of your quilts are beautiful. My two favorites are the Blooming Sunflower and Merry and Bright.
That was fun to scroll through -- you had a very productive and creative year, Barbara!! :)
It is a pleasure to see your finished quilts. You have had a really productive year. All your creations are beautiful.
That's amazing! I don't think I actually finished any.... How sad. I started a lot though! Thanks for another year of sharing your life and beautiful crafts with us. I enjoy living vicariously through you in your journeys and being entertained by your humor and the antics of Smitty and Gracie.
Thanks for the wonderful quilt show & tell Barbara! This was a great retrospective for 2014.
Hope you're having a lovely time with your friends in Bend!
I would say that's an outstanding showing of finished quilts for 2014... way to go!
My faves are the embroidered sewing machines, the Gardener's Journal, and the scrappy dolls.
Seam ripper is so funny
Boy, you've had such a good year of finishes! I particularly love the Vintage Machines and Shine On.
Congratulations on having such a productive year. I can't pick a favorite, all your projects have their own unique charm!
