Crosstitch Retreat gift making

In a couple of weeks I will be going to a Crosstitch Retreat with the NW Stitchers in Missoula, MT.

Oh the fun we'll have...We make gifts and I will be hosting a trunk show and showing how I finish my crosstitches. I can't wait! 

Some of the gifts entailed Temu shopping

Whew what fun!

 

The theme of our Crosstitch retreat is houses...We stitched a smalls house design to give as a gift exchange but of course I can't show that until after the retreat.

I've been making a ton of project bags too and adding bling to the zipper pulls.

So next I will share our Family Fair Fun and then alllll of the details of the retreat.

A little more progress

 I wanted to show a little more progress on my Lori Holt Sew Scrappy Spools. It's been fun going to our cabin in the woods and sewing a little here and there in between swimming and dinners with the kids.

So Jolly July is over in the crosstitch world and boy did I come soo close to a finish!

This piece is huge so cant wait to get it fully finished.

I also have the privelege of stitching for a friend for her shop. It is a monthly

Stitch and I got Augusts done.

Wendy from From The Heart Needleart is the designer of these monthly pieces.

In my next post I will tell all about getting ready for an exciting  crosstitch retreat that I'm getting to go to thanks to a most gracious friend who is hosting it. We are sew excited!
