Another finished puzzle!
This was a rare moment of peace between these two!
You may have heard that Arizona got pummeled by the remnants of tropical storm Priscilla. This is one of the parks in our neighborhood. We didn’t get it nearly as bad as some areas.
All the rain caused our cactus to bloom!
And I leave you with this thought.
Have a great day!
My little HST quilt is done. It seems to glow in the morning light!
I love quilting grids in these pieces. I don’t worry about getting things perfectly even. But it gives such great texture.
The back.
I didn’t have enough green triangles, so I added the pink. I think it works.
Today is the last day for the AccuQuilt Better Than Black Friday Sale!
There are also some fantastic Clearance deals, one of which I highly recommend! Believe it or not, this is on clearance!
I’ve had mine for a couple years now. It was great for bringing stuff in the RV, but I plan to use it for sew days at the local guild now as well.
It holds a lot of stuff! I probably won’t take my die cutter to sew days, but this will be great for hauling projects and supplies. So you may be interested even if you don’t have a die cutter. The large pocket on the back holds rulers and mats.
Have a great day!

I finally found a local quilt group to join! The Calico Cut-Ups are a local chapter of the statewide Arizona Quilt Guild.
I recently attended my first meeting as a guest. I have never met such a friendly group of women! They sew after the business meeting. I brought my Featherweight and stitched a few blocks.
They meet twice a month and I’m so looking forward to the next meeting! I brought home some labels so I can donate some quilts to the groups they support.
I’ve never been part of a group quite like this. My old guild in Michigan was huge and could be a bit clique-ish. They had smaller groups for sewing, but the timing never worked for me.
Have a great day!
I’ve been working away at my four patches.
And now all 320 of them are done!
It felt like I used up a lot of these 1 1/2” squares. But looking at the before and after photos of my bin now, I’m not so sure. Here is before.
And here is after.
I think they are having babies in there!
Have a great day!
Moving right along….
Little by little….
I’m making progress!
Before I go, I wanted to remind you that the Better Than Black Friday sale is still going on over at AccuQuilt .
Have a great day!

Lori said we needed 80 four patches for this little quilt. It turns out, we need 320!
So I’m one fourth of the way there. I don’t mind at all. I love making these!
They are a perfect leader/ender project. Time to go pair up more scraps!
Have a great day!
That’s me….maybe not the working out part….
We’ve gotten some rain here! That means the odd blossom here and there.
Such a lovely sight from our back yard.
My most recent puzzle finish.
It’s a struggle sometimes…
Before I go, this movie just came out Friday. It was powerful! I highly recommend it.
Have a great day!
It’s cooling down in Arizona. I’ve had trouble with my knee, so I haven’t gotten out hiking like I’d like to. Earlier this week, we finally got out a bit and did a little bit of rock hounding.
The views here are breathtaking.
We hiked up this wash.
I love these rocks that have pockets of crystals.
A big part of finding cool rocks, is training your eye. I’m out of practice. None of those below are “pretty.” I picked them up because I wanted to learn about them.
I do love this tiny agate.
It is no more than an inch wide.
Mr. Wonderful found this one. The white bits in the center are called chalcedony.
This was my best find for the day.
Those bubbly bits are called botroidal formations.
I can’t wait to get back out there again! Have a great day!

No finishes this week. However, my checkerboard blocks are coming along.
Strangely, my bin of squares doesn’t seem in the least reduced!
Have a great day!
