Desert Lily Quilters Guild Quilt Show in Yuma, AZ!
Most every year, on the second weekend of January I travel to Yuma, AZ to visit my quilting-buddy and snow bird Auntie and help out at the Desert Lily Quilt show. This year I'm taking my quilting pal, Charlotte-the-Tall with me... yep, the two Charlottes on the road. Thelma and Louise? More like Mutt and Jeff. I'll let you figure out who is who.
It's a long drive from So. Cal. to Yuma, AZ.
The landscape is rugged, but with a rugged beauty.
As we drove, we chatted away and solved all the world's problems; world hunger, global warming, the next door neighbor's barking dog.
And, truth be told, Yuma is a nice little town...in the winter...Not sure I could handle those summer temps.
The Desert Lily quilters are a very talented bunch, but the MOST talented of them all is my very own Auntie,
Nyla Stoughton.
She won first place AND the Silver Dollar award (100 Silver Dollars) for her "Birdies."
A set of 12 wall hangings, one for each month, hand appliqued in wool.

She is so talented. I am blessed to call her "my auntie", quilting buddy and mentor.
