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?! 😆
What a fun looking retreat! I would like to attend, too!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that retreat looks like it was a total blast! The treasures you brought home are wonderful too, especially love that cute little bee bag.
ReplyDeleteI am in two minds about that retreat, oh look at all that fabric wish I was there and oh look at all that fabric good job I was not there. I have quite enough to be going on with but I don't think I could have resisted!
