Stitching friends.....


Back in March 2009, I met Amy when she emailed me to asked if I would like to come to her house and stitch with some friends. 
That is where I met Nicole

Three months later Amy emailed to ask if I would be interested in sharing a room with another stitcher from NC at the Pals Fall Fling. 
That's how I met Faye.


 So what do four stitching friends do?

A Friendship RR of course!

We chose designs from PS "Friends" & "Friends More" and have been busy stitching since last June.  This past Saturday we finally exchanged our finished pieces at a stitchin Amy arranged. 

Boy, I was excited to bring home these beauties.....

Faye's square

 Nicole's square

 Mine

I think I am going to frame my finished
pieces so I can enjoy them as I stitch.  
I will always treasure them.

Amy hosted a stitchin at the French Hens in
Manning and I got to spend the day
stitching with some wonderful ladies.  
And yes....we actually did stitch! 
Amy, Charlene and Faye have some wonderful pictures on their blogs from the day so you will have to check them out.  Funny that I had the same pics so I won't bore you with them.  

I do want to give a shout out to
Judy and Donna......


They just got back from the last Victoria Sampler retreat.... how lucky were they!!!!  
Their retreat project is just gorgeous and
I can't believe I didn't take a pic.

Well, it is stitching time.  As always...thanks for
visiting and hope you have a happy stitchy week.
