Thanks for sharing all your findings and tidbits about your fun!;>)
Nothing like having a Perfect Husband along to make a trip fun! I'm jealous that you got to see all these new things. Thanks for sharing, but now I'm lusting after a new machine.
Okay I'm lame lol I like the Lego cover so much that now I want an iPhone ... however I believe they don't get reception way out here in rural West Oz .. sigh .. hope they make one for Samsungs soon then lol. (and yep, I still love Lego and get to play with it with my Littlies:) xXx
Here is the picture of Samsung bendable phone. Link to the article is up in the post.
Perfect Husband Points explained. My husband coined the term a little over a year ago. See the full post and pictures in the link. Here is an excerpt, "Interesting story, for my wife’s 50th birthday we went to Las Vegas to see Sir Elton John in concert. My wife is an Elton fan and this may be her last chance to see him live so off we went. I saw Elton and Billy Joel in a dueling piano concert a while back and it was simply amazing! The underlying purpose of the trip however was to earn “Perfect Husband Points” (PHP’s), which can then be traded in for sailing trips in Mexico etc… Right now I’m saving up for a trip to Spain to run with the bulls."
We don't actually keep tally, it's just for fun.
If you click the link and it says "get the iPad app" just click the left one. You don't need the app. We haven't figured out who hijacks the link for that message.
I think it was the left one. Just click the one that means you don't want it. Our iPad app is not searchable right now anyway since the ios6 upgrade. The iPhone app is searchable and free but really you don't want it unless you work n the semi conductor industry.
Last night I could not reach the page but today it works. This is really so funny. Still giggling... :o)
Thank you for sharing your fabulous trip with us and for all the information and photos. You make we wish for more machines in my sewing room. I have Berninas at the moment and I am very happy with them The Artista 640 can increase the design 200 fold and then you can set it to stitch out step stiches instead of satin - which has worked well for me in the past. I just love my Berninas and I wish to have the 830 - she is amazing!!!
Waaauw what a fabulous time you had. Love the pictures and what you all saw. Thanks for telling us all about it. Oh my would love one of the big embroidery machines, we can dream lol.
Oh, what fun! Sounds like a fabulous time! Thanks for all the links - it's almost as if I was there with you! I will also join Chris and Bettina on the very good looking couple.
My poor little machines (janome MC350E, just called the diva by me and a brother innovis 750E, my true workhorse): No camera, just 5x7-hoop and one needle... No! I'm happy to have them ;o)
The most interesting part for me is your last sentence: He earned lots of PHPs (perfect husband points) on this trip!
Can you explain this for me? Maybe something really useful for me and the other cuties... *lol*
Greetings, Bettina
PS: Agree with Chris> beautiful lady! Also a great hotel and a very handsome husband :o)
I looked up the blog with the PHPs and put a link up. It took me on a nice memory lane trip. Thank you!
Wow what an experience. You are right about the horses. They looked fantastic. Hope someday I can learn to stitch photo stitch designs out and have them look good. Your husband did a great job of showing off the photo stitch of the panda. I like it better when I enlarged the picture. Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us. Glad you enjoyed your trip. Now it is time for you to rest and sew.
He will be happy to know that he's appreciated. Thank you. Resting and sewing? I had to do about 10 loads of laundry when I got back and QuickBooks is muddling my mind. Not that I'm complaining, the business is why we went to Las Vegas : ) I will catch on to QuickBooks eventually.
I forgot to add a major draw back for me personally. The hoop connection is different than my current Brother. I would still get 4 new hoops but my other additions would not fit. I have a border kit, and a buttonhole kit. But they are probably built in now anyway, right? I would have to look into that.
Thank you, sewmom! You've given me several things to wish for!
Thanks for great coverage of the show. I've been reading about it all week in USA Today on my new iPad Mini. Ladies, do not buy a Mini because it is so wonderful that it will consume all your free time!
I also have the Brother ULT2003d and other than wanting a larger hoop than the 6"x10", I love my machine. Each May I attend the big quilt show at the Salt Lake City Convention Center and every embroidery machine out there is usually on display and demonstrated. The show you attended in Las Vegas sounds amazing and it was fun to hear your experiences.
Thanks for you Mini update : ) Your quilt show sounds fabulous. It would be great to see so many machines in one place.
What a whirlwind trip...thanks for sharing...I have the "sister" machine to the Brother Quattro..the Baby Lock Ellisimo Gold and it is awesome...the camera feature is so precise you can move in any direction less than a millimeter in any direction...with the automatic "snowman" feature, you can actually hoop your fabric blindfolded and the machine will align the design to the correct position...upside down and sideways...no matter...hooping becomes a no brainer...it is truly amazing...and, Yes, you can do regular sewing with the embroidery unit attached...I rarely remove mine...even for quilting..I have thought about the multi-needle machines myself, but would need a bigger space...and a way to get it upstairs and downstairs and to the dealer for any adjustments/repairs...but, there is always tomorrow...thanks again...
HI, sounds like you had a great time. I have a LG 3D TV, its great.
Looks like a wonderland of technology. Thanks for the photos and new technical information. The horse picture is so realistic and the hotel decor is grand.
The Quattro 2 6700D is my new machine "sewmom", just got it in mid November - still learning it's capabilities. Love and blessings Chris
By the way you are a very pretty lady - just wanted to let you know that. And so young!
I have the Baby Lock Elissimo Gold which has the camera alignment. I absolutely love that feature. I can hoop crooked and yet move the pattern so everything will be straight. From your description it sounds as if they have the same feature.
Thanks for the great read. Sounds like you had a busy and exciting time.
Whee ! Lots of High tech stuff ! Wished I could have been there too. Soo interesting. Thanks for sharing.
