Celebration Weekend

Last weekend I traveled to Nashua to attend Celebration of Needlework. While there I was able to go to Frye's Measure Mill on Thursday before my first class. The Mill store is a wonderful place to visit, they have a very large collection of Shaker boxes and other gift items. A trip that was well worth it.

At Celebrations of Needlework I attended 5 classes and the Round Robins. My teachers were Lauren Sauer - Forget Me Not in Stitches, Jackie du Plessis - It's Fine-ally Finished and Sherrie Jones - Patrick's Woods. The projects and teachers were great. The shopping mall was well set up and fully stocked. During the weekend I visited with my friends and made some new stitching friends. All in all a very good time. If you have an opportunity to attend, Just Do it!

Celebration of NW report

Well I arrived in New Hamshire on Wednesday. I was scheduled to take four classes. After having my arm twisted by my friends (wink) I signed up for 2 more classes. So on Thursday at 8 AM I was in class with Sherri Jones taking Fair Charlotte's Souvenir Pyn Purse and later that day Maureen Appleton's Garden Trail: Thread Box. After these there were my classes with Jackie du Plessis of It's Fine-ally Finished, on Friday and the Round Robins. Julie Norton of J Designs class was on Saturday and the Saturday Night Event-a dessert social and auction to raise money for Breat Cancer Research. My last class on Sunday was with Lauren Sauer. If you have an opportunity you should make every effort to attend Celebration of Needlework at one of the 2 locations. You should find something to to satisfy your needlework taste.
