Inspire Me Retreat

Good evening!
I'll let most of the pictures do the talking


Three long tables, plum full of stitchy goodness








Cathy's set up for buying stash


There was 35 smalls for exchange


After being opened...fabulous wonderful things, I wanted them all, lol





Diane and me with her exchange,BBD pillow. I also picked hers last year, out of all of them. I must like her package wrapping. FYI-that is the Diane that had the BBD shaker box finish on the last post


This is Annette with my exchange, Prairie Schooler flat fold easel


My stash and the box we received from Cathy
We also got these needle keepers from a fellow stitcher, who painted them for Cathy to us, sorry! I regret I forget her name, very talented lady






This was our project to complete during the retreat
I completed mine, although I didn't stitch Needles on the gauze that was included





Anna and I started another project to complete by next years retreat, Jardin Prive
Old Glory by Rosewood Manor, which we both completed with little time to spare before this retreat
Looking at it now, I'm very proud I stitched so much, with all the laughing we did
If I recall, I frogged once


Here's the whole gang taken before or after our prime rib dinner, yummy!!


Do you see any familiar faces??
Notice Cathy posing in the front, just like a cheerleader
She should be proud, she did an awesome job putting it all together
Everyone really enjoyed themselves
We can't wait for next year

Cathy...Thanks for a super fun Shipshewana weekend

Sweet Dreams!!!
