This past weekend I went on a stitching weekend with friends. We went down to the Salty Yarns in Ocean City, Maryland. Every October, she has a stitching jamboree with teachers and projects. This year teachers were Maureen Appleton from Hearts Content, Linda from Chessie & Me and Liz Turner Diehl. They were great teachers and classes.
Maureen designed a beautiful scissor fob and a pin cushion on 40 ct fabric over 1. I can't do 40 ct so I'm doing mine on 32 ct. Working over 1 isn't easy (or fun) but it is beautiful. I'm determine to finish it.
Linda of Chessie & Me designed a sampler of the Lankford Hotel - so cute. Her thing is, she puts a cat in all her pictures.
Liz did a very cute picture of 3 bikini's hanging on the line with special stitches. She also does something called stump work. Very interesting and beautiful but I don't think it's anything I'd do.
I love my stitching weekends - it's good to be around other people who are just like you. We talk about what projects we're working on, or charts you've purchased or what you've completed. Plus we get a goodie bag. You're never to old for a goodie bag - filled with stitching stuff.
