Prescott Weekend

Just got back from a marvelous weekend in Prescott, Ken and I got to catch up and while he is learning how to update his new IPhone I'll blog some pictures and then it's out to the pool to work off some of the marvelous food we were all fed !

Linda and Denise and I headed up to Prescott first thing friday morning in eager anticipation of a fun weekend at a wonderful friends house who wanted us to come for a girls weekend and to teach her, her sister and her daughter from Tahoe, plus a few friends a couple classes. We had very avid learners and they all did great. We were busy on friday teaching a method of applique that we all love called P3 and they all realized great success too. Here is everyone busy figuring it out around Marlene's dining room table.

All the avid students with their finished projects ! Yea for loving applique done this way !

So we had to celebrate ! when we arrived we were greeted with margarita's and a wonderful brunch even before we started our little class.

This is the view out Marlene's great room looking out over the mountains and watching the storms rolling in was wonderful. Her home is beautiful and she's the perfect hostess.

We desert rats had to eat almost every meal outside on her beautiful patio.

Marlene showed us this quilt top that her Mom had done, it's all hand pieced and was just beautiful, she's hoping to have it hand quilted by the ladies at the Gilbert Museum.

Of course the gathering place everyone ends up always is the kitchen ! And with all the wonderful homemade meals she prepared for us we were always in anticipation !

Breakfast on Saturday was yummy ! Then it was on to our next little class.

Here are the wonderful hostesses. (L-R) Sandy, Marlene whose house we were at and her daughter Janet from Tahoe.

So friday was full of applique and Saturday I taught them all how to make a favorite wallet and they enjoyed that after our wonderful breakfast. Then we all went to downtown Prescott to stroll a bit and have lunch at a cute little cafe called Sweet Tarts. The next class of a notepad cover for your purse was in the afternoon followed by a wonderful meal at Sandy's house. We stayed and played a fun new card game called "golf" and got back to Marlenes and crawled into bed after such a fun evening of laughs and wine and great food ! Thankyou so much Sandy for inviting us to your home !

Saying good bye today, we 3 had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed meeting and renewing friendships and sharing the things we love to do ! Thankyou to Marlene for inviting us to your home and sharing your friends and family and guest rooms !

Then of course we had to stop here at the Rock Springs Cafe on the way home down the 17. Lunch at this quaint little famous cafe and a pie to bring home to Ken. A berry crumb pie ! mmmm ! Off to work some of those delicious calories off, it was so worth it and now tomorrow it's back to work and dry lettuce with chicken ! I'll be dreaming of the food from the weekend !
