I had the best time yesterday. Terri, hosted a get together in her home. I think this was the largest home gathering I have been to. Terri, me, Melissa, Jill, Laura, Debi, Nancy, Darla, Karen, Kathi, Laurel, Sandy and Sue. (I’ll add some hyperlinks in here later. I already did it but it got hung up and I had to start over.)
Anytime I’ve got to any sort of stitching gathering I get all revved up. It’s so inspiring seeing everyone’s stitched work. There were so many amazing pieces. Jill is a Chatelaine machine (gorgeous work!) but the christening gown she is working on really got my attention. As is happens, four of us are in a quaker round robin that is just starting. Terri had her silk palette and lots of fabrics to toss them on and she’s got a beautiful combination. It will be wonderful to stitch. Darla brought her framed The Sanctuary – it’s marvelous, of course. Well… on and on… went the show fest. It was so much fun! As a matter of fact, it was such a success that Terri has started a new yahoo group for us to organize our future meetings. I am so thrilled!
I’ve also had a little reuniting with quite a few of the old BB’s and that brought me a lot of smiles. I even got some chat time in. I love to chat. I wish more people liked it to.
So, anyway, I’ve been in a great mood today!
Since I don't have any current stitching to show right now, how about this..
This is the darling pinkeep I received from Jan for last year's Valentine's Exchange.
Back to stitching on my model project . . .

It was a blast! Veronica, your work is absolutely exquisite and it's very inspiring to me to see yours and the other ladies' pieces.
I'm so glad I got to see you again, it's been far too long. (Susan in SoCal-Sue)
Wow! I am green with envy! There is no one here in my neck of the woods to get together with to stitch with. It sounded like so much fun!
I am gald you had a nice time and be sure to let us know when you meet again. It's nice to read about it.
Just a little taste of heaven on earth! So glad you were able to gather with so many other wonderful stitchers in your area!!
How wonderful, Veronica! I am so envious! You're right, there is nothing more motivating that a stitching group! Enjoy!!!
Nothing better than gathering with your stitching friends in person. The energy and inspiration you get from it can't be beat. Happy Stitching, CJ
What a wonderful day you had with stitching friends - I can feel your positive vibes glowing all the way 'down under' ... Here's to many more for you! :))
