It took two crews to collect stories from the great state of Arizona – a first for Quiltfolk. After flying into Phoenix, half of our team headed south to Tucson, while the other trekked north toward the Grand Canyon.

The sheer size of Arizona was only part of the challenge. As the largest geographical area we’ve featured thus far and the sixth largest state in the US overall, there was a lot of (literal) ground to cover. But the landscape was met with an equally vast and beautiful quilting community, and all of the Quiltfolk crew left Arizona inspired and refreshed by what we’d found.
