I look forward to spending a lot of time exploring the beauty of Arizona but not at 110 degrees. I can barely handle 80 and at 85 I start looking for somewhere else to be :) We would still come back to Alaska in summer and Sarah is excited about visiting us in the winter. It's a good thing Audrey and I like our web-cams, I have a feeling we will be using them a lot :) Thank you for the great advice!

Tom wants to be closer to Bullhead City, but we plan on spending a LOT of time driving to all the other parts of the state to explore. I may come visit you for a few hours!! :) Ohhh, I hear **so many** good things about Prescott!

It seems there are other quilters and teachers that have moved here from Alaska. Prescott is nice because you can drive to Phoenix in 2 hours if you want heat and you can drive two hours north to Flagstaff if you want to go see snow. I have tried your "quilt as you go" method which sounds wonderful. I haven't had great success at getting the sashing strips the right (size, straight enough, way?) to have two attached blocks really lay flat. I probably just need more practice. Thanks for your you tube videos. I've learned a lot from you. Judy Marguerita,

You might want to try Heber, Overgaard, Pinetop, Lakeside a greener surroundings and while it snows, nothing like Alaska. If you like hot (110 and above from April to October), dirt yards...go for Phoenix or Tucson. There is a quilt shop in Avondale, Cotton Fields, they would probably love to have you in the area. Buckeye is a nice area. Stay out of Goodyear, the tax base is high and so are city services. I wish you the best of luck! Try the Self Family blog, Kristens husband is in real estate and he can send you all kinds of information! Oh, Sarah will miss you dearly!
