The retreat was held in Terre Haute, Indiana
I'll let most of the photo's do the talking
This is the table of smalls for the exchange
I made a patriotic finish
I believe it was a freebie from Blue Ribbon Designs
and a Prairie Schooler Christmas ornament
Up close of all the smalls
Here are the models of Jan's, the designer
For the exchange I won one of Robin's small from Virginia
Candace from Tennesse and I won each others smalls
Cathy_B from Minnesota won my PS small
Anna from Wisconsin and her small, BTW she drove to my house and we went together to the retreat
I won this very cool Ottlite for a door prize, I found a key, yay for me
We pre-stitched three things before the retreat, here are two I put together, I still have the needlebook to sew, on my machine

It was so much fun to hang out with the stitchers I knew and the new ones I met. What could be better?!
I was so inspired when we went to Jan's house one afternoon, her walls are all so gorgeous with all the stitching. I don't have any snaps, I forgot my camera, you might just catch some on someone elses blog out there.
Have a great work week
