Post-Shop Hop

The Southern Arizona Shop Hop has come and gone.  The winner of one of the grand prizes which was a Bernina 350 was Jeanie Hardwick of St. David, AZ.  Congratulations to Jeanie and I hope she has lots of fun with it. 

Spring has arrived.  Things are starting to turn green.  I am going to attempt my first perennial flower garden here in Arizona.  The dirt is like concrete.  I've started a compost bin in some old horse tubs, the horses destroyed.  I bought some plants for High Country Gardens out of Santa Fe.  They sell native plants and have developed some plants that I hope will do well in our area.

Mom has come and gone.  She had quite a few quilts to quilt while she was here this winter and kept busy up until she left last week. 

I'm working on a raffle quilt for the aminal shelter that my brother works for in Michigan.  It is the Al-Van Animal Shelter in South Haven, MI.  If you want a dog or cat, consider the shelter first.  It is a pineapple block made with fabric from Moda's Max and Whiskers collection.

Hopefully it won't be as long until the next post.

It's been a while

It has been a while since I have posted.  Christmas has come and gone.  We had a wonderful Christmas.  We had company for a week, so we got to be tourists in our area which is nice.  New Years has also come and gone.  We hope that it is a better year economically than last year was.

Things at the shop have been slow, but hopefully will pick up as this is our busy season.  We have new fabrics in from Moda.  We also have jelly rolls from their new Summer Breeze Collection.  We also have Wildflowers from Sentimental Studios.

I have decided this year to do a Sue Garman block of the month Christmas quilt.  Hopefully it will not be a one block wonder.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

We also have classes scheduled for January and February.  I am uploading a picture of the upcoming jacket class which starts January 10th.
