KSSG Weekend - day 2

Sunday was a big day for us.  We got up early and went to Palm Sunday services followed by a Panera breakfast.  Then on to the Kindred Spirits guild meeting!  I always enjoy going to this guild's meetings.  Everyone is so welcoming and inspiring.  Such a talented group!

One of my favorite parts of a guild meeting is always the Show and Tell.   There was so much to see this time that they had to go get another table to display it all.

Here are three pinkeep drums from Saturday's class already completed!  How about those turbo stitchers?!

 

I just about went nuts when I saw this one being shown.  This is the sampler that caused such a stir on Facebook recently.  It's called Speak to the Earth by Sandy Orton.  It's owner told us because of the power of the internet and the huge demand, it will be reprinted by Donna Kooler Designs soon!  Keep a "heads up" for this one.  It's amazing in person!

 

Since we were hosting Lori Markovic from La D Da, several folks brought their stitched and finished pieces to share.  What a treat!

I see Margaret Cottam up there!  She's on my "to stitch someday" list.

 



Here are some other charming pieces.  What's that tiny white circle there?

It's the treasure I alluded to yesterday.  I found this tiny child's teacup with a parrot handle at the antiques store.  The minute I spotted it I knew exactly who would love it.  It had Terri's name all over it.  She's coordinating the Snooty Parrots SAL that I'm stitching.  Isn't it just too cute?!  I couldn't pass it up.

Here we are together with Terri holding the cup.  See how tiny it is!  It's always fun to meet another blogger in person.  Terri and I always have the best visits when we get to see each other.  I really wish we lived closer.  We could get into so much trouble together.

 

Here's Lori's trunk show display without Terri and I in front of it.  Just look at all that wonderfulness.  Everything is so pretty.

 

I couldn't resist the Spring Hare.  I've seen several folks stitch it and it's so cute in person.

 

Here's Lori and I together.  Lori was the best teacher.  She made sure to come to everyone's table and check in with us while we were putting our nametags together.  She's got the best sense of humor too.  We were all giggling and carrying on.  If you get the chance to take class with her, do it.  You'll have a ball!

Here's my almost finished name tag.  Lori gave us all a handful of these tiny binder clips to use instead of pins.  I have to say, these things are great!  You need to get yourself some.  All I need to do now is some hand sewing.  Although, I'm still thinking I might swap out the wool I bought for the backing.  We'll see how ambitious I get.  LOL!

Well folks, there you have it.  My weekend adventure was so much fun!  I thoroughly enjoyed myself.  My travel companions made it even more special and fun.  We had a blast!  I love getting together with my northern stitching sisters too.  I'm looking forward to seeing them next month for the guild auction.  Terri has details over at her blog.

Thanks for visiting and leaving me such sweet comments.  I'm glad you enjoy my ramblings.  Have a great weekend everyone!


Until next time,
