[@sandyevenson-hagen370]

Wonderful video! Your trip to Germany sounds so great but exhausting. Coming home to a retreat was the icing on the cake! I can’t believe that you had any energy to even do a video. Love all of your show & tell from the trip and retreat. How lucky to win such a wonderful stitched piece, so exciting! Take care!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you! ☺️ Definitely was an amazing trip but felt it was short. Always takes longer to recover from jet lag this direction

[@stampincass]

I can't think of anyone more perfect than you to win that raffle!! So glad to hear your trip was wonderful and you are home safe!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

[@sadieladydubois2763]

Welcome back!! Thanks for the videos you did for your time away - kept me from having Sarah withdrawal on Monday mornings😊. Enjoyed all your pictures and hearing about your retreat. You are probably ready for some down time!!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

I’m ready for stitch time!😊❤

[@charj57]

So glad your holiday to Germany went well

[@DLNYTube]

Really enjoyed your trip footage! How lovely. Great finds as well. So much to stitch and not enough time. I feel it too. Cheers.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Can’t believe we were to busy for me to touch stitching! Will definitely have more to show soon of my catch ups

[@catherinelaurent5219]

Sounds like you had an amazing time in Germany, you are such a friendly and funny lady. Your mom is an angel to take him in and give you a brother, he is handsome, the driving in the US is Willy nilly, oh my your daughter is very talented, she follows in your shoes. Love the smoking guy what a hoot, the finished stitched design is lovely how sweet she gave it away. The moose cup is funny, love the new stash, great prices on the fabric, I love the older design’s not all but many. Beautiful bag, I also follow Helen D, love her, you are so lucky, June is kind to give away the bag and goodies.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

We’re so lucky to have met and continue to meet such amazing people. Part of my heart will always be in Germany.🇩🇪❤️our next trip will have to be for longer.

[@theresalaboda3569]

Loved the video and all your treasures you brought home. Loved seeing Germany. I lived in Fulda Germany for seven months while my husband was stationed there while in the Army many years ago. Beautiful country and wonderful people.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Not sure I’ve ever been through Fulda but sure hope you saw lots of things while there❤️Thuringia Forest? Ever make it to Dresden? Erfurt? So many wonderful places to visit there especially the Christmas markets. I feel in love with Frohnau this trip. Such a great area with so much within walking distance. Wouldn’t be far from our heart child either. 🤗

[@theresalaboda3569]

@@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher. We were there in 1967 when there was still an East West German border. I was so happy to see the beautiful parts of Germany that I did when we were there. Fulda was right on the border of East West Germany. We have pictures of the East German guards that were guarding the border crossing back then.

[@sandraskonieczny746]

I enjoyed hearing about your trip and all the things you showed.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you! Glad you liked it❤

[@kathyadams5294]

What a wonderful trip! So glad you shared your time there. Love the bag you got at the retreat, too.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you! It was AMAZING but a short trip😢

[@paulagolden4731]

Yes, you may need 3 skins for the spring quaker! I used 3 skins of another overdyed variegated floss to complete the pattern. Fun stitch!

[@peggymartinez5350]

Germany is beautiful. The streets, buildings all represent beauty. Thank you for sharing with us. 😊

[@marilynmckenzie2111]

Glad your trip to Germany was wonderful! Thanks for sharing your experiences there. I Also enjoyed viewing the “ Goodies” from your Retreat! I loved that seaside project bag too. Have a Great stitchy week ahead! Cheers! 👋🧑🏻‍🦰🇨🇦

[@marymokry2639]

Thank you for sharing!

[@michellethompson8768]

Awesome video! So enjoyed hearing about your adventures. Have a wonderful rest of the week and Happy Memorial Day! 🙏🙏🙏

[@dianeperkins7229]

Fun video! Yikes…when you showed your pattern picture for the Primrose Cottage Spring Quaker, I had just pulled it out to stitch on at the exact same timeu. That was weird!! Glad you had a great time in Germany. Enjoyed the pictures you shared.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Ooo!! What a coincidence!!!! 😂🤣

[@StitchnBooks]

Love that all hallows eve piece!! Looks like you had such fun time in Germany! One of my favorite countries to visit :)

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Mine too! Second favorite is New Zealand ❤. Hmmm, maybe I should start a Halloween stitch.

[@joanneseeger5271]

Sounds like your trip was amazing!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Definitely ❤️

[@Griffinand3]

So happy you are home safe! So excited that you had a great time in Germany and your retreat! So many great things you had to share! Thank you!

[@lindadulin174]

Hi Sarah, I was so glad to hear that Your trip to Germany was so wonderful!!! I love the little smoking house and man so much. You are such a wonderful enabler!! I think that I will have to find one or two of those little jewels. The haul from Lakeside Retreat was wonderful, but no matter how intriguing that HUGE pattern is or how lovely it is, I would never, ever try so much that big. The best of luck too You. I will watch Your progress and cheer You on as I am sure that You will finish it eventually..BTW, how big piece of fabric will it take in 18 count Aida??? Welcome home, I will be watching for even more on the Germany trip and the Retreat. What kind of smalls exchange did You take??? Take care and be safe. Happy stitching, Linda

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Hi Linda! Still reeling from filling our hearts 💕 n Germany 🇩🇪! Nothing like a visit and hug to make loved ones feel closer. Have to look 👀 n my fabric stash but now I’m afraid to find out just how big that fabric will be! Doubt I have anything that size. Come to think of it, perhaps it would be smart to make working copies and put it all in a binder. Stay tuned!

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

I took a Christmas ornament that I stitched for the smalls exchange. Unfortunately I didn’t keep a photo but I know it’s one I have as well. I like to make two of each when doing an ornament.❤️

[@marylynnlucas3918]

So happy you had a wonderful time in Germany. Happier you are back to share all you treasures. You were missed.

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Thank you so much! Now I’ll get stitches in to show❤

[@jenniferbonynge5899]

[@ursulamaclennan6058]

Sounds like you had a great time. My mother was German, I once went to Berlin and had my purse stolen as soon as I arrived in Berlin station x

[@Sarahthenorthwoodsstitcher]

Wow! What a horrible experience! 😢I’ve only had the most amazing times while there.
