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!!!
