Inside the goody bags were lots of charts, needles, and thread. Later on we also received this great pair of scissors, and they were purple!!!!
Jill and I shared a room and we met two great women, Sandy and Malissa. Lots of good food and laughs all weekend. And, of course, some stitching and stashing! I did finish JBW Designs Sleigh French Country Ornament.
JBW Designs French Country Ornaments (Sleigh)
Started: 11/6/11
Finished: 11/12/11
Fabric: 32 count Cream Belfast
Thread: ThreadWorx 1089
And I was able to get all the words stitched on Morning Brew. You can see one of my stash purchases on the fabric, a martini glass needle minder. LOVE IT!!!
The other purchase I made was the fabric for Plum Street Samplers Beans, Beans chart, Lakeside Linens 36 count Vintage Autumn Gold.
And I won a Lizzie Kate Boxer Jr kit, Candy, as a door prize!
On Saturday we visited the Montpelier Mansion Needlearts Show. Wonderful pieces of stitching on display! And the mansion was great to see.
All in all a great weekend! We will be back next year!
