Six friends from Phoenix, AZ : Wand Seale, Margot McDonnell, Evelyn Link, Patricia Bliss, Barbara Janson and Georgia Heller created “Spirit of Sedona.” They took a photograph and cut it into six sections. Each of the six quilters created a panel which they joined to create this masterpiece. Well done ladies!
“Magical Zone” by Keiko Ike of Kochi, Japan received a First Place in the Mixed Techniques category.
Her piecing, applique and quilting are wonderful and her choice of color is truly magical.

Jack Reacher is back with a vengeance in Lee Child’s lastest release, “Make Me.”
Jack Reacher is a former Military Police Major who left the army after hitting a colonel. Look up bad ass in the dictionary and it says : SEE Jack Reacher. Reacher has no home, no furniture, no car, no wardrobe, no personal property at all. He has a bank account, money in his pocket, a tooth brush and the clothes he wears. He travels around, not looking for trouble but when he sees something wrong, he just can’t leave.
Reacher steps off a train from Oklahoma City to Chicago in a small town called “Mother’s Rest” because the name intrigued him. Had a wagon train traveling west been forced to stop so a woman could have her child? Or, was there a memorial to the mother of a famous person? Reacher just needed to know. But, what he found was a former FBI agent turned PI looking for a missing friend. She was never briefed on why her friend, another former FBI agent, had come to Mother’s Rest. It had something to do with a science writer for the Los Angeles Times – might be agriculture, could be the internet. Reacher volunteers to help her find her friend. All Reacher knows is that the locals are anything but friendly or helpful. Needless to say, Jack Reacher is not leaving until he finds out why. And, of course, kicks a little butt along the way. I did not have an inkling as to what they would find. Great job Mr. Childs!
