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!

Hi! Love your blog! The piece being stitched that you didn't know the name of is by SamSarah Design Studios.
Talented ladies one and all. Thanks for sharing.
Great needlework being done at your gathering! I had just a half day gathering, but it was wonderful. I didn't even think to get my camera out - duh..
I love seeing what everyone is working on and the beautiful pieces Doris brought in! A friend of mine stitched that "Fishing" piece by Mary Garry a couple of times for friends for baby presents. It's such a cute design! Thanks for sharing with us -- glad you had a good time!
