A Finish and a Get Together

I finished up Karen's Prairie Schooler block yesterday. It only took about nine months to finish!!

I had such a fun time in Manning on Saturday. It was great to see everyone again! I only took a few pics near the end.

Sorry, bad pic of mainly the backs of heads!

I didn't get Karen, but I did get a shot of her stitching (Tree of Life by Goode Huswife)

My stitching buddies for the day, Donna and Judy, they are going to Victoria, British Columbia for the last Victoria Sampler retreat!

I'll definitely have to remember to take more pictures next time! Now, I need to get started on Amy or Faye's square. I need to keep going, so it doesn't take nine more months (I don't think they'd appreciate that too much)! :) Write soon!

    Looks like a fun time was had :) Nothing like getting together with friends to stitch - always a good time spend. Feeds the soul if you ask me.

    Lovely finish and meeting! I enjoy looking at those pictures of someone's stitching/quilting meeting a lot. But my problem is I take way too many, then have trouble with organizing them afterwards!! Everyone at your meeting looks like had fun!!

    Beautiful finished block! Seeing your pics of your get together with other stitchers makes me wish I lived closer to one of my not-so LNS's. Looks like you all had fun!

    Nicely done!
    At least you took a few - my camera didn't leave it's pocket! Just didn't think about it. There WAS a table full, wasn't there? Great time even if not a lot of stitching finished. Loved seeing your WIPs in person - even more awesome!
