Wow what a great weekend! Not only was it time for the IHSW, which I quite enjoy when I get to participate properly, stay home and stitch lots! This weekend I wasn't at home, but I was with like-minded friends! Stitchers at the Knowledge and Needles January Retreat.

Mary (no picture, sorry) brought this little box and said including the box and ribbon there was 52 items. We had until Saturday evening to come up with our guesses. It was a small box, and I got 28 out of the 52 items. We had a lot of fun with this!

How I wish we had something like that in Toronto. No cross-stitch groups/retreats that I can find here. :(
Wow, this looks like a lot of fun, lots of beautiful stitching!
