.....Excited to be away from work for a couple of days...
.....Looking forward to being with friends who are traveling from far and near....
....Anxious to meet Cynthia Zittel from The Drawn Thread....
.....Thankful that we still have our own LNS in our back yard....
....Comfortable accommodations + delicious food = Restful Weekend!
It all started five years ago when Deb, the owner of Stitchville, embarked on a new adventure and she hosted her first ever Spring Fling! Our guest designers that year were the incomparable Barb and Alma from Blackbird Designs!
We stitched and we painted and we stitched some more! This was our retreat project that year.
Of course, it is always fun seeing the models that the designers bring...they were just starting the Anniversaries of the Heart series around that time.
And it's fun to see the "show and tell" display from stitchers who are attending the retreat.
We spend so much time waiting and anticipating the weekend and the time goes by quickly, but we enjoy every minute and we savor the memories.
...More tomorrow...
