Dear Stitching Friends,
Just arrived home from our "Bermuda" Retreat and our weekend "Back-porch
Stitching" at Claire's home. What a great time we had stitching
by the lake at Claire's and the ocean at Shina's and Kathy's home! It
really is a shame that I call it "work". A huge "thank
you" for the wonderful hospitality. Susan outdid herself at her "Vintage
Hanky Lecture" at the National Trust Home at Vermont in Bermuda.
It was standing room only!
Susan and I have been really planning some new events, new venue's, and new projects to tantalize you. I can only say that the new projects are soooooo unusual and fantastic! Be sure to sign up early for events, as most are sold out.
We're over 2/3 full for our ENGLAND adventure in 2009. Lots of needlework, exclusive projects, tea with Jane Greenoff, plus: London, Bath, Stratford, Cotswold, Stonehenge, and sooooo much more. Lots of free time to explore London on your own. You know Susan and I do trips with you in mind!
The "Online Needlework Show" is up and running. Click on: www.needleworkshow.com and go to "Viewing General" then just click down to "Cross Stitch and More" to see all the items Susan and I are selling plus pictures of past retreats. I love the "Pirate" picture from our "Southern Stitching" retreat. It's our longest running event (9th one) that we co-host with Pat Embree of The Stitchin' Post in Nashville.
Dates for viewing this show are ONLY April 16th thru April 22nd so let Susan or I know what you think.
We have a few spaces left for our Treasure Island Retreat in Florida and Shipshewanna in Indiana.
Thanks again for your kind support! Hugs and...Thanks for thinking of me...Sally

It's definitely worth the trip and only 27 miles from Gainesville. Come join me for lunch in our fabulous tea room.
