We left our hotel at 9:30am and ventured north. First stop was at Fiberworks in Waverly, IA. No pictures of the shop. The street in front is all torn up so we parked in the back and entered through a back door. A few purchases were made and we continued north. Along the way we admired the beauty of the corn fields and the beautiful farms along the way.
Second stop of the day - The Stitchery Nook in Osage, IA. What a great shop. Lots of models, patterns, kits, linen, fibers...a hidden treasure in small town Iowa!
In the back of the store they have scrapbooking supplies. I found some great cardstock with which I will make some matchbook needle books.
This shop has a retreat center upstairs! Can you imagine how cool it would be to spend a weekend above a needlework shop like that? It’s a beautiful space. If you live anywhere near Osage, check it out!
Took some pictures of the shop for you -enjoy!
Tomorrow...we return to reality. Only two days left this week though. Hurray!

What a wonderful getaway. So special to have your mom with you!
This sounds like so much fun!
And now you HAVE to come to Salty Yarns--not only a shop, but a hotel--with the shop literally connected to it--so much temptation . . .
What a fabulous shop find! Very cool about the retreat center above the shop! Thanks for sharing, Cathy!
Oh wow. What a shop! it looks like EVERYTHING you'll ever need and then some. How lovely to have conference space in the same building!!!!!
I put up a post re. your Mom --- and the rest of the Tollway Tatter stuff. Safe Travels ; )
That store sure had an abundance of supplies in it. I love to look in those places, but...I always want to buy something and that is why I now have such a large supply of unfinished things. You would think I would learn my lesson!
Thanks for sharing photos of the shop!! I could spend a day in there, cardmaking supplies too!! The two of you are having yet another great trip!
What a magical trip for you and your mother to share! Love tagging along!
A retreat at a needlwork shop?! That would be perfect :)
