Past and Future

The summer is flying by again, so here's an update of where I've been and where I'm going..............

Last week was the Grand old Flag Gathering at the Country Sampler in Spring Green, WI and what a week it was !!!!!

We worked hard, laughed often, ate wonderful treats, and shopped alot!!!!  What more could you ask for?

Here are a few pics of just some of the fun........


              "The Group"  came from all over the USA...from California to Connecticut !!


Fabulous Giant Strawberry Shortcake !!!


Marie shared one of her finished projects !


Connie and Michelle (mother and daughter) and Teresa(below) often stitched well into the night and actually finished most of their projects during the week....amazing!!!



Roxie had never stitched on linen before.....by the end of the week , I had another convert!!!



More "Goodies".......believe me, no one went  home any  thinner that week !!

We all left feeling that we had shared a extraordinary experience together and vowed to return again next year, to hopefully do it all again !!!!

Carole Hopkins and I have even been thinking of new projects already !!

However, for me they are just ideas at this point.......I've got a huge list of upcoming designs to work on first.......you know the old saying ....."no rest for the wicked".

Here's a peek at the project I'm teaching for T0morrow's Heirlooms in Glen Ellyn, IL .....July  25th - 26th.

We'll be painting and lining the book box in class, so it will be ready to go when you finish your stitching.......it will be a little messy, and a whole lot of fun !!!




I talked to Pam yesterday, and she said she had room for 1 or 2 more students, so if you're interested give them a call.....630-790-1660 or email.......tomheir@aol.com

I guess that's all for now.......I've got several more projects to work on , so I need to get to it !!!!

Hope you all find time to get a little summer stitching done in your favorite spot....a front porch or back deck perhaps !!

Enjoy your summer!!
