Yay, we're back! Just in time for mini quilt Monday.
This is the placemat made for this fabulously fun swap. But since it's quilted and it's mini, I think it qualifies as a mini quilt (right?)
Holden picked the quailie bird and I picked the summery colors and prints in honor of solstice.
As expected, a week of frolicking in the desert without the web did me good. We turned over rocks and found baby scorpions (ick), we explored a homestead site at the High Desert Museum, and I read this book in 3 days. And now, I have a pile of laundry and blog reading to attend to.
Happy Monday!

Welcome Back! Im so glad you were able to get away and enjoy yourself. The quilt colors are wonderful.
I love that mini quilt with solstice colors! I'm glad you had a terrific time away. Quiet is really good sometimes.
Glad you're back, hope you had fun! I look forward to seeing more of your summertime fun. You can always make a trip out here sometime.
I love how the fabric and trims all come together with a retro 70's feel. Seeing the entire quail only confirms what I thought when I saw the partial view of the quilt: it's totally Partridge Family! It really brings back memories of the patchwork clothes my friends and I wore back then, with all the crazy trims sewed to the hems of our jeans, and all the orange!
I love it!
