Last Thursday Chelsea and I left for Minnesota .. It was a 6 hour drive .. and our first stop was Michelle ( farmgirl stitcher) farm! Michelle runs the Midwest Cross Stitch Retreats ..Cash loved the goats and the dogs ! It was amazing to meet Michelle in person!Thank you Michelle for inviting us! This has been in the works since June 28 last year... and the project has been sitting in my house finished since January( it was hard not to be able to show you all) I loved the enamel piece for the jar and was so glad we were able to use it!
Second stop Stitchville USA .. it was huge and we loved it!
Next stop the Oak ridge Retreat Center where the retreat is held .. The grounds are beautiful!
I stitched on linen for the first time and actually liked it! Ladonna from Sampling of memories made us the most awesome thread and scissor keeps .. and necklaces
Saturday we taught 2 classes .. one at 9 and one at 2 ... each one took about 3 hours to get all the pieces completed!
Cash was wonderfully behaved the whole time .. driving and retreating! We were very lucky!
We loved meeting everyone and had the best time! Thank you so much to all the stitchers who came and welcomed us with open arms! There were some tears shed over all their nice words to us! We appreciate you all so much!
I cannot say Thank you enough for how great this weekend was!!

I plan to purchase one for each year I am stitching. It is so organized. Wearing my stitching with the Housewives shirt to our North Alabama Stitchers Day on Saturday!! Representing!!:)
ReplyDeleteYour blog made me so wish I could have gone to the retreat! I would love to attend next year. Is it possible to be added to a list or call some one for information?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!!!
The pictures show the excitement for the retreat. Lots of smiles.
ReplyDeleteLove your new series and will be stitching on a lighter color because my
Eyes revolt!!!
Oh my gosh!!! What a fun, fun weekend!!! I love your new series and can't wait to order them! I'll have to check at my HL to make sure they have those white enamel pieces. Thank you so much for posting all the pictures!
ReplyDeleteIt was just the best! So happy to have met you, Chelsea and Cash in person. You are so talented, Priscilla, and a fabulous teacher! We all enhanced our finishing skills, thanks to you and Chelsea. Very grateful to Michelle Reudy for hosting these retreats.❤️
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great time was had by all! Gotta get me one of those shirts.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful retreat--your new series is adorable, Priscilla!
ReplyDeleteWhat lucky people to share a beautiful retreat with you and Chelsea and Cash. I think Chelsea is smart getting him used to traveling and other people. If they get used to it when they're young then they don't have a problem. He's such a great little boy!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have been there and LOVE the liberty jar and how you finished it. I can't believe you stitched on linen!?! Are you going through the change? Literally? You rebel you! I just ordered my first Monaco and now you're stitching on linen...I can't keep up! LOL!
Get your rest and recoup from your trip....you don't want to be sick on your big day...Mother's Day...please tell me you're not cooking! Have a great one!
