What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Living in the desert SW, heat is expected, but oye!Even the kitties are wilting I'm ready for Fall!

We had another little winter storm blow through on Tuesday night: And although it was 24°, I bundled up just after 6 and headed out to soak in a little of the crisp air as Wednesday dawned: It was absolutely still and serene - a beautiful way to begin the day Skeet is always game for an early morning adventure                         And the horses were slowly ambling in from the
