[@jodiarmstrong5881]

Great video Jessica! I love the ideas, they would be great for little teacher or friend gifts as well or even to slip in an Easter Basket😊.

[@suzetteamos6257]

What a GREAT video!!! Thank you sooo very much! Took tons of notes for packing.

[@therapistitcher523]

[@PriviesandPrimsNeedlecrafts]

Very nice gifts!

[@simplystitchingocala]

I am so thankful for our friendship and your amazing gifts. Hugs!

[@clarec6659]

Hope you had a wonderful time at retreat. Love your bag hanging up behind you and wondering if you could show it some time. Blessings and happy stitching.

[@marcysikes]

I had fun watching this video! I will try some of your ideas. As I watched I thought of other things I could make for friends and to take to retreats and conventions. I like to make aprons from men’s shirts. I can add a machine embroidery design that reflects the theme of the retreat and gift them to people who are organizing the retreat or are volunteering at the event. They would also be a great fund raiser to sell to raise money for the next years event! Thanks for the inspiration! I will look to see if you have a diy video on the needle keeper. Great idea! I liked and subscribed!🤗😍

[@ellenmcmahon4459]

Oh my goodness! What wonderful ideas! Any possibility for a tutorial on the needle book?

[@StitchingWithTheSisterlies]

How special and thoughtful ❤️ wish I was your tablemate ❤️ I want to learn how to make those needlebooks

[@andysmomma]

What a wonderful video! You are so creative and thoughtful! I always love to see all your projects! Have a wonderful time! 😊

[@annemousseau8757]

[@susanmccoy1992]

[@suehorn4182]

How sweet. Cute ideas

[@gloriaderfus8061]

Love the video. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@tammytotten401]

This is fantastic! I made a stitch box but never thought to put a magnet under the fabric. Some might say you’re genius😊

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

😂 you are the best!

[@Vegasgirlstitches]

Thanks for the lovely ideas. I will be attending my first retreat in the fall so this was very helpful. I want to sit at your table!😂

[@pavana-rhymes.with.Madonna]

So fun! Now… can you tell me where I can buy some TIME! 😂. Keep the great videos coming! 🎉

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

😂😂

[@soniastarcrossed]

Thanks for sharing, I think I might try to make something for tablemates at my next retreat.

[@AlisonBanerjee-ht1oo]

Thank you for this. I’m going to my first retreat tomorrow and had been worrying about what to take with me!

[@quiltralso2]

Love everything you made!! Your inspiring me to vome up with some table gifts for my first retreat. Hope y'all have a GREAT time!!

[@micas0208]

Great presentation Jessica!! I’m getting ideas for Stitch Florida this July!

[@kathyburch9591]

Thanks for sharing so if I ever attend a retreat I know a little more as to how to be prepared better.

[@andreaflannagan557]

Loved all the things and loved meeting you! *Andrea *tams sister:):)

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

So great to meet you too!!

[@kathycullenstern9652]

Thanks for sharing. I’m going on two retreats in October.

[@sparrowsfriend]

This is a whole new world for me! Excited!

[@gleehanson4775]

Good morning 🌞

[@corarussell9059]

I love all your great ideas. Do you have a tutorial for making the needle book?

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

Not yet but soon

[@presbymom]

I am a bag lady, too!

[@sueb1828]

Great video! I will reference this when I go to a retreat. TFS.

[@vikkireed4833]

You are so generous! Everyone will love your thoughtful gifts! I have been wanting to make a retreat mat, but have no idea how big I should make it. Can you tell me the dimensions of yours?

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

On my blog, Sweetwaterstitcher.com I have written instructions and there is also a step by step tutorial on my channel to help.

[@vikkireed4833]

Thank you soooooo much!!!@@sweetwaterstitcher

[@dfrogers831]

Hello! Loved all these ideas! Do you have a tutorial for the needle case? Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

Not yet but I am planning to do that and a tutorial on the needle book too.

[@dfrogers831]

That would be wonderful!! I went to fat quarter shop and bought the circles and I’m struggling how you get that material so flat on the inside of the larger disc?! I’m a quilter and it’s not like it’s my first rodeo, but why I’m struggling with getting it flat on a circle, I’ll never know!! 🤦‍♀️

[@candaceburns4788]

Awesome video Jessica!!! The needle books are so fun how lucky are your table mates to have such a talented and giving person thinking of them!!!!!!! I would like to know what size magnet you used in the needle book???? I might have to make myself one. Hope you are having a great time this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I linked the magnets I used in the description. I can’t remember the exact size.

[@christinadanko6288]

❤❤❤

[@katysimard8397]

Very nice ideas. The project pad is also quite fun. What an amazing fabric the one you purchased; by any chance, would you know the line name and or designer? Thanks for sharing your work

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I am not sure what the fabric line is.

[@kathyault7563]

Love everything abt this video & I know all of those on the receiving end will love your gifts just as well!! They're all so cute & totally practical. Thank you for the quick walk thru of how you re-purposed the jewelry boxes .. so creative. Have fun at the retreat this weekend! On a side note as curious .. does your sweatshirt say Talulah? Is there any significance to that name? Tallulah was a nickname for my younger sister, who had passed away from cancer a couple years ago. Always love the Godwinks that I see in her memory! ❤❤

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

My sweatshirt is from an online boutique I shop at and it was a fundraiser. That is so sweet 😊

[@kathyault7563]

@@sweetwaterstitcher that's cool! Enjoy your weekend!

[@BethPlaysSims]

Im a bag person as well

[@elainewilliams7184]

Do you do tutorials on how to make the needle books?

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

Not yet but I will soon

[@AllisonNorris13]

[@shelleyjohnson1546]

Are there generally 6 stitchers per table? Going to my first retreat this fall. 😊

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

They are all different and you can always ask if the organizer doesn’t let you know.

[@SusanSmith-hl3iv]

❤❤ what is the purpose of the stitching mat? I love them!😊

[@SusanSmith-hl3iv]

Later in the video I figured it out. Really cute! ❤

[@MissRoux]

How can one go to those retreats?

[@DanasCraftyCorner]

May I ask, what are stitching mats used for?

[@phaden]

I stumbled across this video and do not understand what is a stitching map. Also, I live in Central Florida as well. Hello, Neighbor.

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

A Stitching Mat is like a placemat that you would put on the table to kind of mark your space at a retreat. Not necessary but a fun addition to your table.

[@theresapatch2437]

what are the Mats for, they are cute. also, do you know of a list of sewing retreats?

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

If you go to the website sablestitcher.net they have a listing of retreats.

[@jackyfreeman5530]

What do you use a sewing mat for? This is the first time I have seen one!

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

You would use the stitching mat to put on your table at your spot when you go to a retreat. It is just a fun addition to your table set up.

[@deejohnson4852]

How did you put monogram on top of case?

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

I cut it out on my silhouette with vinyl.

[@deejohnson4852]

@@sweetwaterstitcher Thank you. Does the vinyl have a sticky back to go on the container?

[@mickeyparks3398]

Can someone tell me what a floss card is?

[@sweetwaterstitcher]

A floss card is something you would put your DMC or overdyed floss on to hold. I normally keep the overdyed on the card it comes on and just use them when I cut my DMC for a project.
