All of your stitching just totally amazes me. You do such beautiful work. You shouldn't be amazed with all the finishes you have to do for others as you have been pretty busy yourself. Keep up the good work.

Looks like you had lots of fun and such a great time at your retreat. I love having weekends like that with my buds! Glad you had fun.
