In July, I went to visit Amy @Born To Stitch before heading to the Stitch NJ Retreat.
She is the biggest, little ball of fluff! And no, she's not spoiled at all. 😜
I was at the shop when she was filming her Flosstube with Eda, and having Mel @December Stitches as their guest!
There are more new cute designs, be sure to take a look @December Stitches! It you see anything you like, let Amy know.
If you know me, you know I don't really watch Flosstube. I guess I'm just old school and still prefer blogs, which I find easier to follow and doesn't take as long. (Even though I'm way behind on my reading!)
But having friends who make them, I'll watch them every once in a while, sorry it's not more!
Amy roped me into this episode for a few minutes near the end. It was fun, but I'll keep blogging! 🤣
AND, she's planning a retreat next March after the Nashville Market, so exciting! RETREAT INFO HERE!
This one is new to the shop since I've been there, I love it!
I might have gotten a few things!
Some were gifts that I didn't show.
Of course you can't not take a Bruce photo while there.
Including me!
After that, I headed to the Stitch NJ Retreat, hosted by Arlene @Works by ABC.
I didn't take as many photos, but here's a few.
My stitching set up - I seem to keep adding more accessories to "help" me stitch!
This was our goodie bag, nice treasures! I think this is everything, but I might have taken something out and forgot what it was... sometimers. 🤷
And this was the vending room on Saturday.
The lovely Corrin @Grace Notes Fabrics.
Annette @Mind Your Needle
And of course, the host of the retreat - Arlene @Works by ABC!
A few items I bought from them. I know I got fabric too, but I don't remember where I put it.
I love the daffodils - for St David's Day in Wales!
The room, with our table in the corner.
Our table - 3809, is fine!
And who doesn't love the give-a-way table tables?!
I found a few things I couldn't leave behind.
There were so many donated raffle prizes to choose from (sorry no photos) and this is what I was lucky enough to win!
I love the kitty project bag, but haven't decided what to get from 123 Stitch yet.
The money collected for the raffle went to SAVE, $6,525! I think she said it was more than last year. I was happy to contribute!
Who knew NJ could be so much fun?! 😆
