Stitching with Friends

Yes, another edition of "Stitching with Friends" -- a group of us gathered yesterday at our favorite stitching spot...Rosebud's in White Bear Lake.  I took pictures, and I guess I thought I took more pictures than I actually did!  I tried very hard to do less visiting and more stitching; that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

A couple ladies were working on some beautiful Hardanger.  I only have pictures of two of the projects...



One of my friends brought in some of her recent finishes, including this beauty in all of her framed glory!


Many of us working on our pre-stitching for next month's Stitchville retreat.  The designer at this retreat will be Linda from Chessie and Me.  This stitching is just for the Friday night project, we have another project for Saturday which we will be a surprise until we arrive at retreat.

There were about eight of us there yesterday that are going to the retreat; not all were working on their Chessie and Me project.  It was completed in various stages, from this:


To this....


To this....this lucky gal has her pre-work finished!


I'm excited to see how these pieces will be finished.  Gotta run...toodle loo!

The hardanger work is really lovely! Your retreat piece looks like it's a fun stitch. I can't wait to see how it's finished. Stitching among friends.... what a great way to spend the day!
