We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My son, Zack, got married! The wedding happened at the bride's parents' home in Phoenix. Very nice to get out of Alaska for almost two weeks.
We started the wedding get away with a weekend in Las Vegas. My two favorite attractions were a fantastic Swatch shop at the New York Casino...
and the show, "Absinthe," at Ceasars Palace.
Hubby and I rented a car and drove to Phoenix. Along the way we stopped in Flagstaff where I visited the quilt shop, Odegaard's Sewing Center on Route 66. Nice store and very friendly.
We also stopped in Sedona where there is a fantastic quilt shop, Quilters Store Sedona.
I love this Wild Thing quilt. They were out of the panel. I did find it on the internet.
What I bought was this Laurie Shifrin Designs pattern, "Antelope Canyon." It features 2 1/2 strips and 1 1/2 strips. Simple straight stitching that creates this wonderful circular illusion.
Before we left Alaska, I got started quilting on the Breakfast Club's mystery from last year. I got all the cream background quilting done.
Now I am working quilting on the colored fabrics. Loving this project!
Someone needs attention. He wants to play in the snow we got last night.
And I need to work on Holiday decorations.
But all I want to do is quilt!

Phoenix must have been a nice switch from winter! we were there in mid-October and it felt so nice - before that was Las Vegas also but we didn't really see much there wasn't our kind of town.
Congratulations on the enlarged family - your son sure is tall! Lovely quilt and have fun decorating
Your quilting on the mystery quilt is impressive!
Congratulations on your son's marriage. :) You are doing such a beautiful job quilting your mystery quilt. Love your Santa wall hanging!
Congratulations... you all look lovely in your wedding finery. Gosh, is Zack really that tall!! Love the wild things panel so I hope you add that to your Xmas list, and look forward to seeing your optical illusion quilt get started. That is a pattern I've seen advertised but wondered what size it finished, and never looked any further!
Hi this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated! best decorating ideas living room

Nice post. I learn some thing tougher on distinct blogs everyday. Most commonly it is stimulating to learn to read content from other writers and exercise a specific thing there.
