Fabulous Stitching Day

Any day spent stitching with a group of stitchers who enjoy friendship and all forms of needlework is a good day and today was no exception.  Every so often a group of us gather at Rosebud's Cottage in White Bear Lake, MN.  Rosebud's is actually more of a quilt shop, but it doesn't matter - all forms of creativity are welcome.  About 15 of us set up shop in their classroom and enjoyed a full day of stitching only breaking long enough for lunch.  Lots of laughter, good stories and great fun!

I tried to take pictures of many of the projects that were being worked on - I know I missed a few.  My camera batteries were dead, so I had to take these pictures with my phone but I think they turned out pretty good!

The star of this post today is Doris.  Doris brought several items for "show and tell" starting with this lovely Bent Creek piece; I believe it is called "Gnomes in the Garden".

Then check out all these quilt runners and tabletoppers that Doris has pieced together...wow!

And a little bit more stitching from Doris.  Doesn't she do lovely work?

Can't wait to see what finished pieces Doris brings next time!

Let's take a look to see what everyone else was working on...an owl baby bib for a new baby with an owl themed nursery...

A Halloween piece from La D Da...

One of my favorite designers...Mary Garry...this chart is called "Fishing"...

There were a few felted wool projects being assembled...

And this is "A is for Acorn" from Jackie du Plessis...

A design from Tree of Life Samplings...

And Elizabeth's Designs...

And I have no idea who the designer is on this piece, but the colors really pop!  (Edited to add: it's from Sam Sarah Designs! - thank you to the reader that identified it for me!)

I know I missed a few of the projects being worked on; I will try to do a better job next time.

A good time was had by all!
