Here are a few snap shots from our time in Arizona. I miss it already! I’m not sure when we will head back out.

My fish hook barrel cactus was blooming when we were there.

E3 came out for the wedding with Daughter #1. We took him to a zoo and he loved feeding the giraffe!

And the safari ride. 😊

We got to hike a bit in Sedona after the wedding.

And I took Daughter #3 and SIL to the White Tank Mountains to watch the sunrise one morning.

We also visited Taliesin West, home of Frank Lloyd Wright in Scottsdale.

We had such a great time!

Have a great day!

I promised more wedding photos and here they are! It was small, simple, and absolutely beautiful.

Sigh….so lovely . I’m so happy for these two beautiful people and their fur babies.

Have a great day!

Here is another log cabin quilt that is as different as could be than the one I shared last week! This too is a favorite. Maybe they all are? Enjoy!

I started this Log Cabin quilt over two years ago and I am SO happy to say it is finally done!  

The blocks finish at 4 inches. I think I drafted the block in EQ but I don’t really remember anymore. The quilt finished at 42 inches square. And it really is square but the wind made it look like it wasn’t in these pics. 

 And the back. 

I used Warm and White batting, Glide thread, and Superior Mono-Poly. I used a template for the circles in the red border. It has 72,224 quilting stitches in the top and has 848 pieces. I did a lot of ripping on this one. It is one of the few quilts that I didn’t love working on. But now it’s done and I like it. It will soon hang in my hall.

I pieced enough blocks to play a bit with layouts. AccuQuilt calls this a Signature block, but it seems the name of the quilt can change depending on how the blocks are set.

Not sure which I’ll choose. But I need to get the rest of these pressed.

Have a great day!

I planned to work on a few UFOs when we were in AZ, but it seems I just started new things. This time I was inspired by this stack of squares. They are all the same print, but in different color ways.

I used this AccuQuilt die….

From this set.

And this die from the 8” AccuQuilt Qube.

Here is about half the blocks pieced.

Stay tuned….

I picked these blocks up at a yard sale for a dollar.

They were not well pieced and the sizes varied greatly.

But I had a plan! I grabbed this die. It is Shape 1 from the AccuQuilt 12” Qube.

I placed the blocks on the die and recut them at various angles.

I think I will call this quilt, Dancing Dogs.

Stay tuned.

Have a great day!
