Let me say that block is even prettier in person. It was so awesome to see you two, not once but twice. 

I finished my last 4 blocks last night and am excited to put them on a design wall and continue with the quilt.

We are leaving today after Mark gets off work and will get to the Grand Canyon Friday. Both my girls are driving over so we will have a family mini vacation. Then I will be back in New Mexico for a while.

Shelley, I really like these blocks and seeing them as you do them!

Very nice!  Both the block and that you got to visit with Ami.  I'm sure she loved it.  What did the husbands do while you two were visiting?

How nice it was for you two to have a post retreat visit!  Your Block is very pretty. My husband was born in Holtville. I don’t think it’s too far from Mohave.

So that is part of your big changes coming? Inquiring minds want to know! 

I sure hope the weather cooperates and you have a beautiful Easter sunrise at the canyon.  Nice that the girls will drive over so the family will be together.  Are you taking the RV with you to the canyon?

They were chatting also; apparently they got along well.

Yep we are leaving California. The RV is hooked up and parked near Mark's work. We will drive a few hours tonight and get to the Grand Canyon tommorow. 

Mark's next assignment is in Boulder Colorado and we will park the RV at his brothers place. I will be in New Mexico for a few weeks.

I already have a list of what I want to accomplish. 

Your blocks are beautiful, the quilt is going to be one of a kind gorgeous.

ok...so much for putting down roots in So Cal!!!

Enjoy the Grand Canyon and Boulder!
