Cathleen, we had a wonderful time! I had three new starts and met so many new people. Donna and I roomed together and we always enjoy our travels. Dena

Hi Dena always love seeing your new starts and WIP's. You do such lovely stitching. Hope you have a safe and fun time at your retreat. Been stitching away at my WIP's. Always love seeing Cocoa and the bows are so cute. In the meantime Happy Stitching and be safe and kind. God bless Always you friend Pat

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Pat, so glad to hear you have been working away on your WIPs. I had three new starts at the retreat because they were called in ABCingo. But I enjoyed starting each of them very much! I didn't film anything while I was there so I will be filming a long segment today. Happy Stitching. Dena

I was so grateful for this video tonight! I downloaded it and enjoyed it as I flew home from the retreat. I loved seeing all of your ABCingo pieces and face special glances to hawk run hollow and spring Quaker. Even my husband gave a second glance on spring Quaker and said I should stitch that one 😊. Can’t wait to see the retreat recap, happy stitching!

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Robyn, I uploaded the retreat recap last night so it will be there when you have time to view it. You may see yourself! LOL. Dena

I am going to a retreat at the same time you are, but mines in Casper Wyoming. It’s the crazy woman retreat, my girlfriend, my best friend is one of the featured designers for your retreat. That would be Cricklewood Crossing, and her design is a skull and a raven andtwo other things but it’s really cute so I hope you enjoy your retreat and I figure I will enjoy mine

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Diana, so happy to know that Cricklewood Crossing is your friend's design brand. I look forward to meeting your friend. Yes, I hope you will enjoy your retreat very much. Dena

It was so great to see you and ( your friend ) Donna on Saturday on the Zoom. Your needle is on fire 🔥 so far with ABCINGO. I'm getting ready to go on a girls' getaway to HobbyHouse, and I'm taking all of my projects also. Do you know if the Daily 30 group will be opening up this year? I might want to join to see if it will help me stay movatated. I'm going to be making some changes for next year. Safe travels for you and Ms. Donna. Have a wonderful time at retreat. I can't wait to hear all about it. Coco does look cute with the bows.

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

The Journal and Daily 30 group opens in November usually. You must be recommended by a member of the group, so let me know if you want to join and I'll submit your name. Dena

[@PeeDeeStitcher]

Dena, I hope you had a great time at the retreat! I'm so far behind on watching Flosstube. Cocoa looked absolutely adorable with her bows! Happy stitching! - TaMara

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

TaMara, I did have a fabulous time at retreat. Unfortunately I came home with an unexpected gift, strep throat and Covid. However, I am on medication and am beginning to feel better already. Missed a day of stitching but have been able to stitch a little more each day as I feel better. Dena

[@PeeDeeStitcher]

@@halfstitchcrossstitch2456 oh no! I’m glad you’re starting to feel better.

[@lindaskinner5887]

[@halfstitchcrossstitch2456]

Linda, I am so enjoying my Spring Quaker! Looking forward to the retreat as we leave in the morning to travel to Montgomery. It appears it will rain the entire weekend. But we will be inside stitching! Dena
