I'm never going to be able to comment to everyone but I just have to say that
QNS your drawings are absolutely phenomenal. I would kill to be able to draw like that.
Honchey, loved the pictures of you grandsons. They each have their own little twinkle in their eye that suggests I would love to meet them.
DD your eagle picture was really cool. I loved the eagle, but the setting, with the abandoned home and the tree was quite emotional.
Anael, As always pictures of those babies just makes me feel so good. Congrats on the new machine.
JanRN This year I made myself a promise that I would practise my FMQ faithfully. I always wanted to do it and I just wanted to sit down and expect it to be good right off the bat. Of course that's not how it works. I watched a million videos and made a gazillion pot holders and mini quilts for the grandkids' stuffies. The videos that really resonated with me were Pasty Thompson's.

Scroll down to the Video 3 of 4 where she is working on pink fabric. I watched that so many times I could see it in my sleep. It seemed to really help me get the idea of smoothly moving the fabric. I am now comfortable enough to FMQ my donation quilts for my preemies and actually let other people see it.
Can't stay on the computer long so forgive me if I miss anyone. Have a good Easter weekend all.
Oh btw I turned 62 in February.
Edited to add:
For anyone who needs a good chuckle this one does it every time
