Orange Beach Stitching Retreat

Cross Stitch Retreats
Katrina's Cross Stitch Retreat
This weekend, my sisters (Jennifer and Bridget) and our friend Lisha went to Orange Beach, AL for stitching retreat.  We had a great time.  We saw dolphins, a wedding on the beach, and the wave roll in.  I brought all of my WiPs with me (21 of them).  I worked on each one for 1 hour.  I shopped at Katrina's store (in the retreat), ate good food, and had a wonderful time meeting new people.

My sisters had several completions on this trip but I only had 1.  I completed Love Laundry by Raise the Roof.  I only had the man's shirt and the pole for the line left when I went to the retreat.  I wanted to finish it for Valentine's Day but I missed the deadline.  But, I did finish it the week of Valentine's Day; so I'm happy.

My goal this year is to knock out all of my WiPs.  That won't be easy because I have The Lady of the Flag - Mirabilia, Tigerlily - Nora Corbert, and Simply Sunflower - Paula Vaughn.  All of which have multiple color change and are large projects.

My march new start will be Little House Needlework's Little Sheep Virtues.  I want to stitch it like Julie M stitched it.  I think it is really cute.  I have all but one of the patterns.  I want to find a dark-ish brown fabric to stitch it on.  I think it will look good.  I will post a picture once I start it.

Well thanks for stopping by.  I will post more soon.
