Hi Stephanie! It was so nice to meet you at the retreat! I’m happy you liked your smalls exchange gift! 😊 Unfortunately we did not get a picture together but I do have the memory of meeting you! I love, love, love your finish of the bee Quaker. That fabric on the back matches perfectly! I have that Liz Matthews pattern also and will join your SAL when you start it! You have such enthusiasm for life! Your students are lucky to have a teacher like you.

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

You are so kind. I hope we get to meet again and get a picture. I will confer with the girls and let you know when we are starting the garden sal. ❤️

[@lisadonmez9552]

I love the generosity of your viewers and the cross stitch community. The amount of free donations your students are receiving shows how kind you are too. Summer break is starting soon! Here in KY the last day of the school year is May 23!

I loved your video. You are so enthusiastic. I’m really tired tonight and didn’t feel like stitching but hearing about the retreat and how much fun you had kept me going. Because of that, the project I’m working on is almost finished. Thanks for sharing all the cool haul. I also love that you are teaching your students to stitch. Everyone has been so generous donating to your kiddos. It’s wonderful to hear how excited they are when you bring them new fabric, floss, and patterns. Have a great two weeks!

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch me. My students are so excited by everything. One girl said I was killing her when she saw everything because now she was going to have to start something new and she already has 2 other things started. 😂

Table 18 named ourselves The Hooting Eyelashes. Some of us stayed at the Best Western which had vending machines with eyelashes, brushes, etc. 😂 awesome retreat!!!

[@the_new_england_stitcher]

I saw those. That’s quite the vending machine. 😜

[@BusyMagnaBee]

When I was a kid, we were taught to ride our bikes against the direction of traffic. I personally think this is much wiser as it allows the bicycle rider to SEE the oncoming traffic and the MOTOR VEHICLE operator to SEE that there is a human being on a bicycle. But, apparently our legislators are so much wiser than me and in many states the law says bicycles are to travel in the same direction as vehicular traffic.

It was so nice to meet you in person at the retreat and I'll see you at Stitch New England!

Hello friend. I am sorry to hear that you have not had much luck. The zoom group I join is through B & E stitchery, floss bossin cousins and antique needle workers. They have a Facebook group and typically do one once a month. Anyone that is a member of the group can join. I hope this helps. ❤️
