Retreat

Thank you Cindy for letting me know about my misspelled word on my Serenity Prayer by Erica Michaels. I called the framer first thing this morning and they told me that they had to order the frame so it had just been stretched. They told me that I could come and fix it and they could still have it done for Mother's Day. Shwooo that was a close one!
Anyway I had a great time at the May Retreat. I got a lot of stitching done but more importantly got a lot of shopping done as well. I bought two more Shepherd's Bush samplers, I will post a picture of them when I start them (it might be a while). I also bought this cute Lizie Kate Halloween pattern, If the broom fits.
At the retreat every one had show and tell. Someone had a finish that was absolutely gorgeous by, By The Bay Needleart. The colors just popped off the fabric and I noticed that all of the patterns were like that so I bought "Blossom Hills Sampler" The fabric is not white like the picture it is called waterlily which is a light greenish color.
At the retreat we recieved some gifts, this bag was one of them. This lady had a wonderful Idea.

She decided to use a monogram book and stitch her initials and a little pattern on some fabric and to make it a flat padded finish to put on the bag where the clear circle is hanging on this bag. Is this not a great idea!!!?? That was so creative, so I must do it too :) lol I wish I could give her credit by using her name but I am horrible with names!!!

I also got some stitching done on Snow Ho-Ho. I am working so hard to finish this pattern, I want to start some of my other patterns. :( Pout*

I hope everyone had a great weekend!! I also want to give thanks to Sally, Sara, and Mary for a great weekend!

The girl who had the idea to put a monagram on the bag - her name was Dawn.
