Phoenix Trip, part 2

this trip I stayed at the same AirBnB that I did last year.   And love it here, and love being able to bring my sewing machine with me and get stuff done during my down time here. 

As it happens I needed to get a number of things done -

I've been able to get a couple of stuffed critters made to test the new pattern I picked up.  First up was this giraffe.  He's 10" tall.
 This guy was putzy to stuff  so he'll be custom orders only in all likelihood.

 Some of the fringe I bought this trip has already been used for his mane.

 Close up of the fabric I used for him....it has giraffes on it.  =)






















I finished off the basketball quilt that my cousin had commissioned.  Her grandson attending college in OK on a basketball scholarship.

 Label on the basketball quilt.

 I put together this little mini wallhanging top.   It is from a quilt kit that I received in the shoebox swap this Christmas.





















And I made this little elephant from the new pattern as well.

Gratitudes:

1. the beautiful weather, even yesterdays rain, out here in Phx

2. For the leads on job possibilities out here
