This past weekend, a large group of stitching friends met at Welcome Stitchery, in Crystal Lake, Illinois to do some shopping. Here is what I bought. 
After a few hours of shopping and helping each other make some additional purchases, we conviened to the Public House around the corner for some lunch.
It was a great day, and fun to see some wonderful old friends as well as meet some new ones.
Two of the stitchers, Lynn and Barb, traveled all the way from Canada for this event, and stayed and stitched with me for a few days. They brought me some lovely gifts. Although it wasn't necessary at all, I truly will treasure the things they made! Thank you Barb and Lynn for your visit and the lovely gifts!

Wow..what a small world..We used to live in Crystal Lake on Manor Rd and my #4 son just moved from CL to Woodstock:) I am planning to come up in June...maybe we can meet up if it isn't to far from you.
I will be driving to my sisters in Palatine and then take a train to go to Chicago to see my Daughter for a few days and then take the train back and do a little visiting with my kids and maybe thrift sale shopping :)
I am GREEN with envy! Wish I had been there as it used to be my LNS when I lived in Libertyville. Now I don't have a store near me :(. Glad you had fun.
How fun! Now I'm looking forward to seeing just what it is you'll do with that gorgeous blue fabric!
