I only took a few pictures this weekend, I stitched instead of playing the shutterbug! Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of Trista... well I did but it was out of focus! Sorry Trista. Ann and Beth couldn't join us as they both had the flu. On Sunday we were joined by Rebecca's lovely Mother and Law for a few hours too!
Rebecca, our hostess!

Bonnie
Christin
Judy...and Tasha by her feet, Tasha was a well behaved and constant companion for us all weekend long!

Boy did I need this weekend! I needed an opportunity to step away from all the stuff I've got going on at work and at TKD and just enjoy my friends company and stitch! I didn't get pictures of everyone, but those I did get, you can see everyone is enjoying themselves and stitching!
Oh boy did I stitch too! I worked on Tour Des Marques from Friday night-Late Sunday afternoon. I got so much done!
Tonight when I got home I pulled out yet another monogram that I had on the go and finished it up too... there seemed to be a little speculating over my monograms going around the room this weekend. Judy has threatened my life if one of those J's doesn't end up in her hot little hands!

Fingers crossed this week will be a little more in control than last and I'll get some good TKD studying in!!!
Great progress on TdM - and lovely monogram too!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had another great stitchy weekend. You got loads done on TdM and a very cute monogram too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful progress on TdM ... I love watching it take shape ... especially since my own BAP [TW's Autumn Faerie isn't] ... it's comforting to know that someone is making major progress even if I am not.
ReplyDeleteGood progress on TdM. Looks like you were all very industrious. Another lovely monogram. :0)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful get-together and the perfect get-away. Your progress on Tour looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteHi Dani! Its so nice when you have stitching friends close enough to meet with a couple of times a year. Once a month is even better! I hosted a stitch in on 10/3 and am having a few over this coming Saturday for a few hours. Then 11/7 we're meeting in Abilene at Picture This Plus. I love these get togethers. I wish all stitchers could be so lucky.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress on the letters and on TDM. Do you mind sharing a picture of the pattern the next time you have a progress picture? I can't remember what you're working towards.
I hope you're feeling better and that you have a good week.

ReplyDeletens looks like another great get-together. Wonderful progress on TdM.

ReplyDeleteFun to have stitchy weekends i bet! Lovely stitching too
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fantastic weekend! Love your stitching.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a wonderful weekend. I wouldn't have made any stitching --- I would have been petting Tasha all weekend. She's a beauty.
ReplyDeleteHi Dani,
ReplyDeleteWish that I could have found a
way to join the fun this weekend.
Alas, it was not to be.
Had a nice time at my friend's
daughter's 6th birthday party
however and ate a humongous slice
of chocolate birthday cake.
My friend assured me that it was
totally fat and calorie free
though so I should be fine for
weight in tomorrow.
Really.
My goodness but everyone at the
stitching weekend had such serious
facial expressions. Totally
absorbed in their stitching.
Looks like it was fun. Sigh!!
Hope life allows you some time
to relax and chill out and get
some more stitching done this
week between obligations.
Tour des Marques is gorgeous, by
the way.
Cheers!
Great progress and wonderful pics!
ReplyDeleteAnother good time stitched by all! :)
ReplyDeleteSuper progress on TdeM
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great weekend! You've made fantastic progress on Tour Des Marques!!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a great weekend. You did a ton on your project! Wow!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you know that I was only kidding about the "J", BUT, if one happens to make an appearance, I wouldn't turn it away.
