coarse was off-key - Hehehe! We had a presentation from the host on stabilizer and she had a wonderful hand out with lots of tips - we learned alot - the funnist part for me was when ever one got to do show and tell - Terri had made a challenge from the previous month to make a cover for our embroidery binders and there were some super idea's shown - we had two new ladies join us this month - but we will have to keep the gathering small so that we can still met in everyone's homes. I had a great time and shared a ride up with Terri's cousin - which made it so nice - for the two of us. And yes, I have a picture to share of Terri and I - you will have to wait a moment for me to post it. Hehehe!

Twee (Terri) has invited me to a luncheon that she is having after an activiate with a group of students that she meets with - I look forward to sharing some more time with her come this Saturday, February 5th. I will not be taking Rick with me - it will be the first time that I will have left him alone for any time by himself, so this will be a lesson in trust for the both of us - that he can manage and that I can enjoy myself without worrying about him. Hehehe!
211079How fun for you, wish there was something around here to do.

It was so good to get out of the house - on my own for that long - it was a thrill to be with such a great group of ladies and Teri (twee) - we learned alot and had some great food and fun. *4U
44904Shirene, how great it is to get with Terri and share in your love of sewing. My best friend that I did these type of things with, moved last year. Her husband passed away and she moved closer to her family. I wanted her to be happy, yet I didn't want her to go. Glad you had a great time. Hugs, Judy

Oh it was really nice - Teri is the only one I knew - before October - so they are all new friends to me. When I lived in North Carolina - I had a couple ladies that I became friends with through a Embroidery Club and besides the once a month that we would met to do a project at the sewing center - we would also go to lunch or dinner and get togehter to do projects - one of them really become my best friend and when I moved to Utah - she was heart broken - the same as you - but she knew I would be around family and she was happy for me - we still talk on the phone and email and she contacts me whenever she is doing a project that she can't remember what to do. Hehehe! I love it.
10530I am sooo jealous! I do not get the opportunity to talk to a soul about embroidery, except here on Cute!

8654That seems to have been really fun with you and your friends. Very nice picture of you to.
I'm in a group of 6 ladies which come together once in a month and talk and a talk and show each other what we have been sewing the last weeks. We are plannig to stay over the weekend 11-13th of February in a sommerhouse and sewing, knitting, talking and eating and have fun. We always do that once or a twice in a year and that´s so enjoyable.

OH my Sigrun - your retreat in the upcoming months sounds like a dream - have fun. *4U
25744Oh this is so nice and so good. And Terri is a real fashion girl. I saw that the kind of head band she is wearing was a big hit in the UK when I was there in Dec. Will hit as here in the winter I suppose.

Karen, hopefully you will come back and see the picture later. I loved all the hours that I was away and then - when I was home - I got to share it with Rick's too - he was so happy for me - he also had a lady that sat with him - a new thing for us - she cleaned up for me and fix him a meal - so he was pampered, too. Terri called later and we had an exciting time talking on the phone - we are blessed with a great friendship. *4U
169064I have just turned my laptop on and read this, still waiting for the photo but sounds like you had a brilliant time. It is great to meet with others with the same interests so you can talk, talk and talk about the bits and pieces of machine embroidery or whatever.
