I'm getting ready to go on a Stitching Retreat tomorrow. It is sponsored by The Stitching Bee, one of my favorite stores. It also is the closest one to me only a 100 miles a way. The retreat is going to be at the Landmark Inn and Resort in Egg Harbor, WI, (Door County). I know Kendra the owner of the store and a few other people a little. I'm going on my own. I tried to talk the stitching group into going but, no one was interested. I am an adventurous type and will go anyway.
I have been getting things ready. I really don't know what to expect. I have been to other retreats where they provided projects but, I don't know what will happen at this one. I am getting projects ready to take with me. I have two ornaments from the JCS Ornament Issue: Plum Street Samplers. I substituted some colors because I didn't have the ones used. The colors will go well and are really quite similar.
I also have the Little House Needleworks kitted up. Again, I substituted some of the thread because of availability of my stash. I think they will all work out well.
I have a Blackbird Design ready to go too. There are also more Prairie School Acorns. Here is the progress on the Pilgrims. I have a little left on the man and then I do the lady.
I am looking forward to the weekend. I am nearly ready getting things at home done so when I do get home on Sunday, I don't have a lot to do. I'm sure I will have some stories to blog about when I do get back.
Sounds like a great time! I commend you for going alone. Looks like you'll have some nice projects to keep you busy. Have fun! :)
