Visitors Are a Coming! (Patagonia, AZ)

Today, we are waiting for Dan's sister, Kristy and her husband, Dick to arrive.  It'll be so nice to see them again.  Kristy is an excellent quilter.  Her quilts are amazing!  Yep, looking forward to some quilt talk.
Say's Phoebe
Of course, that is not all we will do.  We have most of today off thanks to a couple of volunteers coming in today.  We plan to take Kristy and Dick for a walk through the Preserve.  I hope we have some good wildlife sightings.  There have been no sighting of Coatimundi lately, but that can change.  Mr. Owl is starting to show himself a little more.  The Javalina have been sighted everyday usually eating the watercress at the creek.  They are such health nuts always looking after their girlish figure.

How's this for a cute pose?  I'm too cute for my fur!

On The Cutting Board

All right!  Two more mug rugs are ready to assemble, but I'll wait a couple of days so I can visit and talk quilts.  In the meantime, I have one more Cupid to embroider.  That will keep me busy in the evenings.

Delightfully Dizzy! (Patagonia, AZ)

I finished making the Delightfully Dizzy quilt top.  Every time I thought I was done making blocks...I decided to add more. This challenge turned into a lot of fun!  I finally ran out of squares to make more blocks and the quilt is only lap size.
This is going to be a fantastic springtime quilt.  I can't wait to finish it now.
 
I had so much fun, I could not resist adding appliqué to the top.  I did manage to control myself and I only added one flower to the top corner.
