Latest happenings

September started out with some serious weather for us Desert Rats. Flooding in lots of the valley, my place stayed high and dry.

There have been several projects that have been on my schedule. Last month the Night Owls had a retreat and I made a quilt, "Old Spanish Trail". Cindy Phare in Prescott it for me and I should have it as soon as we can make connections. I also made a very cute wall hanging titled "Wanda the Whale", this designer has some of the cutest patterns with darling names. I just couldn't resist "Wanda".
The Mavericks project this year is to make a art piece of Arizona, that's right down my alley. The want us to make two, the second one of the state that you come from. There were too many others things I working and and did not want to make two Arizona pieces.
I have two table runners that I'm working on for my daughter's store. One is red silk with wool roving inserts. I should get started on that next week. The other is a SW design, that just has to have the binding finished. 
This is Old Spanish trail

Tonight I'm going to a dinner theater with friends to see "Angry Housewife's", this should be a fun evening.

I'm entering the Arizona piece in the Rim Country quilt show in Payson next month, will plan on going with some of my quilting buddies.

Portland show is coming up soon! Finally a vacation away from the heat and see the centennial Quilt again.
