How to run a saved query from a Notebook (PySpark)

Hi Team! Noob to Databricks, so apologies if I ask a dumb question.

I have created a relatively large series of queries that fetch and organize the data I want.  I'm ready to drive all of these from a Notebook (likely PySpark).

An example query is saved as test1 under my user account (it shows up under the Queries heading in the left navbar).  I've also created a Notebook under that same account called Investigations (and both the notebook and query show up under Workspace).

My sample code is simple:

query_name = "test1"
results = spark.sql(f"SELECT * FROM {query_name}")

# Show the results
display(results)

 
But it produces the TABLE_OR_VIEW_NOT_FOUND error:

AnalysisException: [TABLE_OR_VIEW_NOT_FOUND] The table or view `test1` cannot be found. Verify the spelling and correctness of the schema and catalog. If you did not qualify the name with a schema, verify the current_schema() output, or qualify the name with the correct schema and catalog.

 
I'm sure the issue is just that I'm not properly referencing the query.  Help!!
