First up is my Blackbird Design purchases ...
Some kits and some patterns I kitted up ...
Karen and I both bought this kit and started it Thursday evening ... this will be hanging in my kitchen some day ... too cute ...
assorted charts that I just had to have ...
I fell in love with this wonderful needlecase/scissor keeper ... maybe cause it's red?

I found some yummy fabric and kitted up this Christmas ornament from this years JCS preview issue ...
and a couple of purchases from the bathroom at The Silver Needle ... lol yep the bathroom. That's where they display all the shop models for sale. I could have bought a few more, but ran out of money and room in my suitcase. The prices were surprisingly great ... would have spent more stitching them myself ... so I got Dash Away (surprised?! lol), a 4th of July Pine Mountain Pillow and a sweet sunflower pillow. Funny quick story about the pillow ... I had brought that chart from home to kit up and start stitching at the retreat ... of course I had to have it when I saw it in the bathroom! It was a very fun trip to the bathroom lol ...
I'm grateful for weekends ...

Oh wow! What great stash! I wish there were retreats within traveling distance for me...
Oh, now this is great new stash. This alone would be a good reason to go to retreats, lol. Enjoy!
I love all your stash, sounds like such a fun retreat! The design you are going to hang in your kitchen is so sweet. :-) It's fun stitching along with someone else.
WOW! That is a great lot of stash you bought and it is all gorgeous! Sounds like you had a blast at the retreat! :)
All your stash looks wonderful Michele and I have to admit I am a little envious!!! Lol!
Great Stash. One of my favorite retreat experiences is the visit to the shops. I also enjoy fondeling fabric and fingering the floss. Sounds like you had a wonderful time.
Great stash, can't wait to see some stitching
The retreat sounded wonderful and the stash you brought home is beyond great.
I've had the best time hearing about the retreat and seeing all your wonderful stash. I thought the bathroom was great too...hugs, Linda
I love it all!! Actually, I've had that chicken kit in my shopping basket several times ... I think I have to "just do it"!!
I keep coming back to these retreat photos and just marveling!!!! You guys had a blast and the stash enhancement is beyong words!!! LOVE IT ALL!!!! Faye
Oh boy did you have fun Michele! Enjoy all of your new gifts and stash! I know exactly what you mean about never being able to fondle fabrics and look through charts. The closest shop is two hours away from me so I never get to go either. Glad you had such a good time!
Golly, olly, golly!! If I could plan the perfect stitching week-end, you just described it!! (I mean even having fun during a potty visit???????) :)
I'm glad you had so much fun -
Thanks for sharing all the sweets -I can't wait to see them all stitched up!!
Great stash!!!!! I've definitely added Silver Needle to my weekend away list :-).
It goes without saying that that is some pretty rocking stash. I have that same red needle case and I *love* it. Very handy.
Now that's what I call fun! Great buys and new stash!
Gorgeous stash! That needlecase is lovely.
Looks like great fun shopping away - and what wonderful gifts too! I am fortunate to have a LNS and even though it's small, they have tons packed in and can get whatever your heart desires. I actually have one 25 min north and one a little over an hour south. And retreats are so good for the health (mental)!! Have fun with your new starts and can't wait to see the progress!
WOW! What fabulous stash! I too love retreats...there is a reason the word "treat' is in retreat! Enjoy all of your goodies!
That ooh sound you hear is the collective sigh of envious stitchers all over the Internet. I'm so glad you had such a good time. And do I count three reindeer in this post? ;--)
Wow sounds like a ton of fun. Shop modles in the bathroom, the new reading material LOL
You got some beautiful stash there girl. I think it would be fun to go the a GTG like that one day.
Hope all is well in your neck of the woods and you and the family are enjoying your summer so far...This Sunday is the kickoff to football season LOL I love this time of year...FOOTBALL :)
Take Care
Wow did you have fun, and boy did you spend! Great new stash!
