Where did April go?

What an amazing month it has been! We held our annual retreat here in the Hualapai's at a Bed and Breakfast that opened up a couple years ago. Amazing place! Have the photo's downloaded and ready to be put in some kind of order for posting! Way too much fun was had!!!

We like sunset shots and this one was just glorious!
On the quilting front it has been non-stop! I am so grateful for the Gal's who trust their precious tops to me!

Since getting the IQ installed on my machine I really haven't taken the time to just play with some of the other features that it has, I have to rely on you-tube videos and sometimes they can be a little more confusing for my data bank (aka brain) to process! So I just plug along and hope for the best and keep the ripper('s) at hand!
I took a couple hours to make just a little something to play on, had the pattern forever along with the charm squares already matched, cut and ready for stitching, AND sitting under the plexi table at the machine, I wonder about myself sometimes.............
So just started pushing buttons and learned as I went!

I am pretty pleased with it! But the best part is, DH has agreed to plan a vacation to Oregon when MQX West is going to be having their first ever Longarmer's convention there this fall!!!

Then I will be able to ask a LIVE person for help! I am super excited! The Class Catalogue comes out in May and I will be signing up for everything I possibly can! Little Piggy Bank needs some chunking up!

We are also gearing up for Spring Market in Salt Lake in a few weeks, will be a wild time for sure! 4 of us from the Shop are going, and we will be able to completely experience it for all its glory as the Boss wasn't allowed to make any appointments!! We will get to scope out every aisle and booth for what they have to offer, boo-ya!!

I will also get to visit my Dad's Burial Site, he has been on my heart a lot lately and I think it might just be time to get those feelings in order...................

It is passed time that I should be heading out, I would love to stay home and watch Smallville Season 2 with the boys, Scottie bought Season 1 and we were hooked right away, then he came home with 2 last night, which reminds me I now need to rearrange the Netflix que, they have been on long wait status for quite some time now and if he keeps buying the Seasons I can put some more Jane Austen style shows on!! Hehehe~ Boys just love my choices! Not! Hehehe~
