Stitch West Retreat 2019

 The Stitch West Retreat 2019 was absolutely amazing.  Deb and Keph from Snug Harbor  Crafts on Youtube and Instagram did such an amazing job planning and preparing everything. The entire Basic Bunch ( Basic Stitches) went. It was Jorden and my 2nd retreat and DeAnn (Grandma) and Janalyn (Weeza) 1st retreat. We will be there next time too. Can not wait. I loved meeting each and every person. I made so many new friends that I already feel so close to. The picture on the right is of Jorden aka Little Stitch Girl, standing next to her display at the retreat. She even released Frost House, to the retreat before everyone else was able to purchase. But it is now available at www.littlestitchgirl.com  Janalyn and I did a selfie in front of the fountain on our way to get a fancy soda drink from Fizz.

We took a ride to Shepard's Bush in Ogden, Ut. It is an amazing cross stitch store. If you are ever in the area check it out for sure. It is worth the stop or detour along your way.

I was wanting to meet Sara Lusk, for a long time. I was thrilled that she was at the retreat with us. I loved getting to know her so much better.  She is a sweetheart and I can't wait to get together with her again. She is cityfarmin_id on insta and youtube.

 This is Jorden showing her retreat exclusive patterns that she designed from Debbie's ideas. They turned out amazing and hearing everyone cheer when she displayed them and Debbie announced that everyone at the retreat would be receiving the patterns and that Debbie had kitted up the fabric and flosses for everyone to stitch 1 of the patterns...It was amazing.  

I am with IvyHouseCrafter, Stephanie, she stitched the amazing small I recieved in the smalls exchange. It is amazing 1 over 1 on 28 count. Mind blown! She also put in a nice pair of stitching scissors and a scissor fob and tea and chocolate. Which were unnecessary but I loved as well. 

Myself, Jorden, DeAnn, and Janalyn
