I wrote a ton of stitch guides for the retreat. Everyone worked on a piece of their choice. It was so fun for everyone to see what everyone else was working on and learn from each other.
So many great pieces and fabulous stitchers! I hope you join in the fun next time!
All of the stitch guides will be available soon.
