Last week I visited the Flying E Ranch, a great Dude Ranch in Wickenburg,AZ just west of Phoenix about 40 miles give or take a cactus of so.
Breakfast is over, the horses are saddled, and your day at the Flying E Ranch begins with a ride out over rolling desert hills to check for newborn calves. At the Flying E, a dude and working cattle ranch, the casual and relaxed atmosphere is as natural as our gorgeous sunsets.
Well, it is time for the Flying E to have a new look! Today we are getting ready to select the fabrics for the guest rooms at the Flying E. I have a found a beautiful soft microfiber with a tooled leather look for the duvets. The fabric is so soft and cuddly that it would keep any cowboy warm on the range.
Now for the lightly shirred bedskirts, this is where we need to add a cowgirl touch! Maybe a stripe or print. That is today's project.
If you planning a trip out west stop by the Flying E Ranch and meet Ande and Steve, great people and the love showing you a good time.
Your hosts, Andrea & Steve Taylor welcome you to enjoy all the west has to offer.
With the bluest of blue skies, craggy mountains surrounding you, excellent food and the legendary hospitality of the Old West, the Flying E Ranch is the ideal place to take a step back in time. Clean air, warm sun, good horses, breathtaking scenery and genuine cowboys as your guides will fill your hearts with memories to treasure for the rest of your life.

Erica Doyle, owner/instructor
I've been teaching sewing for over 15 years now. I have a degree in Home Economics with an emphasis in Fashion Design/Merchandising from California State University, Northridge. When in college I used to say, "I want to promote home sewing!" and all my classmates would look at me like I was nuts. I learned to sew as a child, starting out with mumus for my Barbie dolls. When I was a freshman in high school, I took my first sewing class and fell in love with my sewing machine. It was such a thrill to take a piece of fabric, cut it up and sew it into something to wear. I thought everybody should be doing this and they'd love it as much as I do. My goal is to make sewing fun for you. Don't sweat the mistakes, we can take care of those. Just enjoy the process...I'm not grading you like you were back in the days of High School Home Ec. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN!
