QUAIL RUN, SCOTTSDALE, AZ.

This past weekend, I traveled from the Colorado Desert to the Sonoran Desert.  It was still 109+ degrees.
The visible difference is the Saguaro Cactus in the Sonoran Desert.  That's the tall one with the arms.
The most important difference is that the Phoenix area has needlepoint shops!

The first stop was to visit the new, larger location of Quail Run in Scottsdale. The shop exudes warmth & charm.  There was a special area to park the man in your life complete with appropriate reading material.  Quail Run has a large variety of threads along with canvases.  I was impressed with the number of accessories.  They have a wonderful classroom!   Susan gave me a  behind the scenes tour which included the work area, her private office & the Quail Run Wholesale department.  Check out more at http://www.quail-run.com/. .
