Including a picture with Sue Hillis.
I worked my way around to Jean Farish for a little more retail therapy where I got this one

Well there was more to the retreat but I think I have gone on long enough in this post so I'll share the rest next time. Right now I think I'll go make a few wonderful little xxs. Thank for staying with me this long.
Sorry for the tiny print at the top, for some reason it won't let me correct the size of the font.

Glad to hear you had such a good time. It looks like you ended up with some wonderful new charts and fabrics.
Such talented ladies you met with at the retreat. Thanks for sharing your lovely time and the goodies your bought and purchased, lots to keep you busy.
What a wonderful experience! All those goodies........wow....it looks like such fun. I think next year may have a stitch retreat in my future. What a lovely post.
Stitching retreats are always the best kind of fun! So glad you got to go!
Wow, you really did have a grand retreat! Good scores on the rescued charts. I have all those lavender and lace ones and then some!
What a great retreat, it looks like so much fun! And look at you with all the stars LOL. You certainly scored some bargains. I love the Sue Hillis Dark Shadows designs. I have the Julie Hasler book from when it as first published. I've not seen anything by her since then which is a shame. I like her stuff!
Looks and sounds like a lot of fun!
