Leaving tomorrow!

The Teresa Wentzler Queen City Stitch Retreat starts on Thursday, so tomorrow I'm flying out to Charlotte--hoping for a smooth trip, but I put a bag of Hershey's miniatures in with my travel cross stitch project just in case! 🍫

I just finished Nora Corbett's Miss Blueberry a couple of hours ago, and she makes a beautiful addition to the Flutter Fruit collection:



I have Miss Blackberry ready to go when I get home, but I decided to take a different project with me to Charlotte. I'm taking Amy Bruecken's Lucky 13, which should be a fairly easy design to work on in a "busy" environment:


Last week I spent a few days getting caught up with Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery's Welcome to the Circus SAL; we're up to part 5, so halfway done now:


Heart in Hand recently released a new Tiny Town, Gingerbread Tiny Town; this is the model I stitched last month and it's shown as the drum finish on the chart:



It's 8:30pm right now and I need to head upstairs and finish packing. I'm getting a late start, but I have a direct flight tomorrow and it doesn't leave until 4pm, so I'm still doing okay on prep time. ⏱️

Hope everyone has a great stitchy week!

      Thanks Marilyn! I'm happy that the fabric ended up working with the new designs--now I just need the last two to work as well! 🤞🏻

    Miss Blueberry is so pretty. Photographs never capture how beautiful they are until it is stitched up.
    I hope you have fun on your retreat.
    Your other projects are really cute.

      Thanks Catherine; sure wish I could stitch faster, as I can never get to everything I love! ⌛

    Chocolate helps in any situation! Hope the trip went smoothly. Miss Blueberry is a doll🥰 Circus SAL gets more cute everytime! Gingerbread Tiny Town will have to come live with me.
