RETREAT REPORT
What do Terri from Woodbury, MN, Anne from Orlando, FL, Doris from Rupert, ID, Heidi from Escondido, CA, Lynne from East Freetown, MA, and 25 other women from various states in the country have in common? They all attended the first ever, Nordic Needle Stitching A La Carte Retreat in Fargo, North Dakota from May 2 - 4! I can also add that we all had a terrific time together, taking classes, touring and shopping Nordic Needle, eating, and getting to know each other during our open stitch times! This was a weekend we will all remember for a very long time!
The Retreat began Friday afternoon when all 30 ladies arrived at Fargo's Holiday Inn, from their various destinations to register, check in to their rooms, and prepare for a weekend of classes.
| Sue and our Manager, JB, were on hand with a few other staff, to welcome them and make sure everyone had the schedule and knew where everything was. |

Jean taught Hardanger embroidery in the afternoon session |
| Bev from Alexandria, MN, and Lois from Brainerd, MN, working on their Hardanger embroidery. |

Then we all met in the "Pantry" for an evening snack. The "Pantry" is what we dubbed the room that was set up for our open stitching times, our snack buffet and the mini-store of items we brought over from our main store one mile away. This gathering place was retreat headquarters and only closed during main meals. |
| Here is Lelani from San Francisco, Patsy from Sioux Falls, SD, Lois from Brainerd, MN, and Heidi from Escondido, CA, in the snack line. |

Judi from Chanhassen, MN, Shirley from Savage, MN, and Pam and Linda from LeClaire, IA, visiting in the Pantry before the evening class. |
| After our evening snack, several ladies went to Jean's Huck embroidery class or Lynn's Pulled Thread class. Take a look on the next page! |
