We continue our States of Modern this week with inspiration from the state of Arizona. Arizona is a western state filled with history and natural beauty. 

Our block is again based on the state flag.  Thirteen Rays represent the setting sun that throws even more luscious color upon the fabulous Arizona landscape as well as the thirteen original colonies of the United States.  I was going to simplify those rays, but there had to be thirteen! So I tried to simplify the applique, making these rays all one joined piece.  Check out the Pattern below!
Arizona: The Grand Canyon State
Capital: Phoenix
Admission to Statehood: February 14, 1912
Flag:  The 13 rays of red and gold on the top half of the flag represent both the 13 original colonies of the Union, and the rays of the Western setting sun.
Bird: Cactus Wren
Flower: Saguaro Cactus
Largest Cities: Phoenix, Tucson and Mesa

Crazy Patch Purse By Machine 99 Cents!

As you can see, this is Crazy Patch for the machine age.  All stitching is by machine.  It is wondrous to use all those decorative stitches and different threads.  Sometimes I put two threads through the needle (one on a bobbin) just to see what would happen.  The results are fantastic!  The Crazy Patch is done flat then the purse is made from the created piece in a very simple manner.  Dig out your fancy fabrics… or just your favorite cottons!  And have a great time making this purse!
