When I last posted I was about to go on a quilter’s retreat for the weekend with the UFO club. Our annual retreat is called “Swiss Finishing School” as the retreat is held in a small town nicknamed “Little Switzerland” and everyone tries to finish up a project or two while there.

The slogan of the UFO Club is “Done is good.” I accomplished a lot this year finishing one quilt that was close to being done when I got there as well as finishing piecing a quilt top that I started over 10 years ago (the Bear Paws Quilt below). Others attending had similar successes.

Several of us went on a “field trip” to a quilt store a few miles away and with the help of others we picked out fabric to finish more of our UFO’s (UnFinished Objects) or our PhDs (Project’s Half Done). It always helps to have the input of others to help inspire us to finish projects we have started.

Here are photos from this year’s Swiss Finishing School. I can’t wait until next year’s but at least I have some inspiration to keep working on some current projects now.
