Design Wall


Along with finishing up Old Town this week, I am working on Wonky Wishes, another Bonnie Hunter pattern. This is my Tuesday project when I get together with friends for sewing. This is a long tern project with about half of the blocks made and hoping to get a few more done each week.

The sewing and craft festival starts tomorrow at the Arizona Fair Grounds. It is always after Road to California Quilt show, with many of the vendors making the trip here to Arizona. I am looking forward to seeing what is new and fun when we head to the show on Friday.

Loved the Cat prints!


Sandi and I had a great time visiting. We spent some nice time in my sewing room, cutting out a project and putting together all the threads and patterns for her quilts that I will be quilting. Tuesday came up way to quick and she was off to the airport to head back to San Diego. Looking forward to our next visit sometime soon.
