Danielle, thank you for making me feel welcome at the table. I had a great time. Hope to see you next year.

You never fail to make me smile. Great book reviews, great retreat stories. Also, Bill is fantastic, what a great response. Hope he has recuperated well and is on the home stretch to retirement.

I love getting ideas of books to read from what you think of them! Thank You!

I went to my first retreat this year! It was just as amazing as you say! Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful experiences! ❤

[@hvpta0813]

Glad to see you had a great retreat! I am looking forward to Stitch New England in October!😆

The Last One by Will Dean is a Kindle Unlimited and so it's FREE on my Kindle. YAY!!!! At least that guy in the hotel could feel the freaky factor. That says something. But, I think it's sweet that Bill was going to ride up and save you. ❤

Danielle, I used to be the same way with makeup. Working healthcare during Covid cured me. We literally weren’t allowed to wear makeup because our N95 masks were being cleaned and reused. Makeup didn’t work with that. I only really put on full makeup on date nights.

The Last One sounds good

Stitch friends are the best!!

Oh man…. Poor Willy! Danielle took your favorite drink…. 😅 Sounds like you had a fun time at the retreat! Girlfriends are the BEST! I wonder why that man said he practically lives at the hotel…. Just curious! 😮🤷‍♀️ Enjoy your week. Nice hearing from you. ❤

Hi Danielle, I’m going on my first retreat ever in October in Myrtle Beach. What kind of chair would you recommend I bring on the drive with me? And have you ever been or have an interest in going to a Barefoot Needle Art retreat at Myrtle? I would love to meet you in person one day. I hope you have a wonderful day! 😊

[@Stitcherista]

I'm sure that wherever the retreat is they have chairs. Most retreats are held in conference rooms, etc. I probably would not go to a retreat that I could not drive to within 3 hours. Myrtle Beach is many, many hours away from me.

Where did you purchase the pattern for the cross stitched bookmark (I checked the description box, but didn't see it)?

😂😂😂 poor Willie 😂😂😂

[@craftycondostitcher8831]

I just picked up the Favorite Girl and I can already tell the Ivories are psychos. No spoilers!

[@amandatatum4199]

Ok, but is Willy his real name? I've never actually known anyone with that name. However, I have been known to nickname things Willy 😅

[@Stitcherista]

Good question. Haha. I just know it said Willy on the ticket. And I did go to school with a guy whose real name was Willie.

[@hazeleyezof76]

😂 I wonder if Willie is the guy that stayed across from you...

[@Stitcherista]

Haha. I don't know.
