Hi Everyone —

Once again, Sue C and I have joined 46 other stitchers in Sturbridge, MA for Stitcher’s Hideaway.

Several members of NJNA as well as members of Skylands and Monmouth Chapters of EGA are in attendance.  We also reconnected with friends from prior years of the retreat.  Three days of uninterrupted stitching have allowed all of us to make some good progress on our projects!  And, really, isn’t it always better to stitch with friends?

Here’s a collage of our NJNA attendees and their door prizes!  Ada won the top prize ($50 gift certificate), but I doubt that anyone was more excited than me when I received a DMC book of small designs that included kitchen items, wine glasses, butterflies, etc.!

This is the first year that we did not have a significant snowfall — only flurries!  Unfortunately one of our Skylands colleagues took a fall and broke her arm.  We wish Susan a speedy recovery.

Cheers, Rosie
