We're down there in the middle of nowhere with about 250ish other quilters. There are classes, lectures, trunk shows, the vendors mall and of course we get fed - well. So much for me losing weight, I gained it ALL back and then some. This is just a little bit of our adventures. I could go on and on and on and..................
This huge mess is Machelle and I getting ready to go on a quilting retreat where they have a vendor mall; and we are one of the vendors.
This is looking into the back of the burb. Ya. Its FULL! Just barely enough room for us. Reminds me of a jack in the box. Becareful opening up the doors -- everything might jump out at you.
Here we are (well actually I am taking a break and sneaking pics) setting up our both. If you could see Machelles face, she has this "how are we going to set this up" perplexed look on her face. At times its best to just sit back and take a break while things are being figured out, otherwise she turns into ME! Not a pretty picture.
Nother BAD pic -- SORRY! Need to figure out what is going on.....
These 3 cute gals are Lynette (middle), Wendy (rite) and Saraih (spelling is questionable to me??? on the left) they co-own Main Street Quilts in Hurricane. Just opened up Nov/Dec of 08. Fun fun fun. Can't wait to visit with them some more at the state quilt fest. They each had lots of nifty thrifty ideas for us. Can't wait to try some of the out in Machelles store.
Such a sad sad day. All packed and ready to come home. Yes we sold A LOT and we are just as packed as when we went down. Explain that to me????
This is the front of Ruby's Inn at the mouth of Bryce Canyon. Such a fun place to go.
If you look thru the dirty streaks on the front window you can see that we drive thru these holes in the rock in Red Rock Canyon. There are two of them. Just kinda fun.
Machelle got tired of me taking pictures out the dirty windows and pulled over so that I could take a few. We had to stop someplace on the way home so that we could wash off the salt and guck that accumulated on the way down.

This is Susan. She is one of our "quilting sisters" (just a really good friend that we both have made thru quilting).
Happy Birthday Bonnie! Shes in the black shirt. Fran the crazy one in the crazy shirt and wearing glasses, well she got all of us and I mean whomever was in this very large room to sing to Bonnie. My camera is being wierd, so the pic is somewhat blurry. No it's not your eyes. You don't need a checkup. Anyways, Bonnie took it really well and didn't turn to deep of a red color and hide in her room for the rest of the retreat.
Nother BAD pic -- SORRY! Need to figure out what is going on.....Here Konda Luckau is one of the teachers and she is doing a trunk show little lecture. She is one of our local gals. If you can see thru the blur for those that live here, thats Roberta on the left and Francine in the middle, they are being the quilt holders -- and a mighty fine job that they did.
Back to the bad pics -- I have a really cut pic of Machelle and Linda sitting together, not far apart --- but the camera issue........ggrrrrr makes me frustrated. Any ways, we are all sitting around enjoying the lecture/trunk shows from the different teacher/quilters. Then there is Dana and Carma standing up in the very back at Lazy Daisy Cottage from St. George. Characters those girls are -- the "CONFIDENCE" that ooozzes from Dana is AMAZING!

That was just a few of the highlights from this retreat.
Better get back to business. I have that blue and white top to finish sewing together. Have you ever wondered why I am Sew Crazee??????
