Michael Miller Challenge Fabric

 As a member of the

Phoenix Modern Quilt Guild

we are joining along with the 

Modern Quilt Guild

for the Michael Miller Fabric Challenge

 As part of this challenge we each received a

Fat Eighth of 6 pieces

of 

Petal Pinwheels

 The challenge is to make anything, as long as it's quilted.

The Prize:

3 winners will receive each month for a year

a "goody box" filled with fabrics from their

newest collections.

Sign me up!

 Yesterday we drove from Arizona to California

and I worked on the beginnings of my design.

English Paper Piecing Coffin shapes

(yes you read that right: Coffin shapes)

 It's so wonderful to come home.

My favorite part of the drive is

Pacheco Pass with all of the fruit stands.

We loaded up with freshly picked 

cherries

apricots

and 

pistachio nuts.

Seeing all this fruits beautifully displayed

made me think how grateful I am

to have color

in so many shapes and sizes.
