Four Days of Fiber and Fun – Stitches Midwest

Recently I headed to my home town (well close to it) for another fabulous Stitches Midwest.

Stitches Midwest

After 4 days of fantastic students and classes, I got to stay an extra few days to see my home town, and my family.

I love all my Stitches shows, but I have a special place in my heart for Midwest (being my home town), and I was so thrilled to see so many of my “regular” students in so many of my classes.

Here’s a little peak for those not lucky enough to have attended.

The Market is open!!

I've been eyeing these Shaker boxes for a few shows . . .

Finally bought one (the tray is mine, all mine!)

It's not a visit to the marketplace w/o a visit to Buffalo Wool Truck!!

I found my pal Carol Sulcoski's book
