The evening ended with several ladies in the Pantry, snacking, laughing and, of course, stitching! I think it was 11:00 when JB just had to close the door so she could get some sleep. Of course, as luck would have it, she ended up with a whopper of a head cold just before the retreat. She took the appropriate cold medicine and rested for the next eventful day, while some of the ladies, we hear, were up until 2 am stitching on their projects!

Saturday began with several ladies shopping in the Pantry, and several going to Jean's Silk Ribbon Embroidery class or Barb's framing class. Stopping in to these classes was so exciting because the ladies were obviously having a great time learning something new, getting to know their fellow-stitchers, and just enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and getting to stitch all week-end!

Paula from Crystal, MN, Doris from Rupert, ID, Julie from Golden Valley, MN, Terri from Woodbury, MN, Lynne from East Freetown, MA, and Anne from Orlando, FL, were getting ready to start their day of classes.

Lois from Brainerd, MN, Lynne from East Freetown, MA, Lorrie from Colorado Springs, CO., and Linda from Port Ludlow, WA, had to get a group photo because all their names began with an "L".
