MAR Mini Seminar - It's In The Bag


What a great weekend. Stitching is my life. I love to be creative and I particularly love to stitch. A friend and I spent the weekend in Camp Hill PA at a "Stitching Mini Seminar". It was a wonderful weekend. We drove up on Friday night got our room and than quickly got unpacked and into our PJ's so we could stitch on the projects we brought with us. Than it was up early in the morning and off to class. I took a class called "M'Lady's Bag". It was a blackwork and beadwork little bag that is a necklace. There were 7 in my class. There was actually a lady from Maryland who was 90 years old and she was working on 27 count linen. God love her. I hope I can do this when I'm her age!

All in all, the weekend was a total success. It was a time to relax and stitch, a time to renew old friendships, a time to make new friends, a time to hear and a time to get in touch with the bigger picture of MAR/EGA. I was impressed with the depth of planning for the seminar and impressed with the MAR board and all that they are doing.
