Zoo Lights and stuff..

Phoenix Zoo is presenting it's annual Zoo Lights show, and last nite I was able to attend along with my daughter, son-in-law and grandson.  We had a great time...the weather was comfortable, the lites were spectacular, and the company was great!  I encourage anyone in the Phoenix area to go, especially if you have kids or grandkids as they will really enjoy the lighted exibits.  Go to the Photo Album tab above and click on the link to see some of the pictures I took while there.

Deanna and I have been working on holiday quilts for our customers; we've even had a few brought in a bit last minute!  Deanna has sold her Nolting machine (as most may know, she is the Nolting rep for Arizona), and has a new one shipping any day now.  So in the mean time, we are down to my Lizzie cranking out the quilts.  No problem, tho...Lizzie can handle it!

Christmas is approaching...quicker and quicker as the days go by!  I still have a few Christmas projects of my own to get moving on, not to mention getting any shopping done !  It will all fall into place, I'm sure, but in the mean time...STRESS!!

We've added a few pictures to the Photo Album tab (there are links under the tab that you can click on to navigate to the photos); the pink and brown quilt I made for my niece who is expecting her baby girl, Rylee, on December 13th.  The fabrics used in the quilt were Moda Blush.  Really pretty tones of pinks and browns. 

Another quilt picture we've added is a batik quilt done for one of our customers.  Unfortunately, the pictures do not do it justice.  It was really beautiful, and so many people commented on it while it was on the long arm being quilted.  Kudos to our customer on this one!

Oh...also worked on a few bags, two made from the Bow Tucks Bag pattern and one from another Penny Sturges pattern that I can't remember the name of right now but it's a diaper bag.    The two bags were made to be given as Christmas gifts for a friend in Tuscon; the diaper bag was made for a friend of my daughter whose baby was just delivered today!  Great timing on that one!!

So, we will just keep chugging along here at Desert Flower Quilting.  Stop by and visit if you have a few holiday minutes to spare!  We'll have our Wednesday Morning Coffee each week as usual...oh! and we got a Keurig coffee maker, so you can treat yourselves to your own coffee flavor!!  Wooohooo!  So drop in, join us for coffee and fun.
