A Weekend Get-a-Way

 Last weekend, I attended a stitching retreat at the Illinois Beach Resort and Conference Center in Zion Illinois.  It was a wonderful, relaxing three days of stitching!

 There were 40 attendees, and everyone was busy stitching!  

 It was a bit dreary outside on Friday and Saturday, but Sunday was a glorious day, weatherwise.  I look forward to another retreat in this great space in January!

Seeing some good progress on this one!

WIP Wednesday, 10-21-2015

I haven't had much time to stitch, but did manage to get something done on my new WIP.  This is the ill fated piece that I started and ripped out twice before.  This time I am stitching it on 32 count fabric, over two fabric threads with two strands of floss.  I do like it much better now.....

A small finish

I finally finished Justin's ornament!  There was much frogging involved, and what should have only taken one afternoon to stitch turned into a week! 

Ornamentification will happen before Christmas!

September Progress, October Goals

Not much stitching time in September, and October appears to be just as busy.  But I will try and carve out a bit of stitching time whenever I can.
