Well, in AZ of course you have the Big Papa" Grand Canyon, Sedona is pretty and cool! I think two of my fave "Arizona'y" places are Talesin West (Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home). You can get a tour and I believe its still a working architecture school/business. It was very modern and up-and-coming in its day. My other favorite is the Sonoran Desert museum near Tucson. Its like a desert zoo and botanical garden all rolled into one. In the summer, you should get there AS IT OPENS. It gets very hot! Don't forget to drink water ...until ya gotta go! (sorry to be so graphic, but if you are not used to our heat and dry air, you WILL get dehydrated in a huge hurry)
Fav Quilt shop in Phx? Quiltz (40th Street and Thunderbird...they are at a different location now but are moving to this location as of April 1st). 3 Dudes quilt shop and Zoes are worth the trip also
