We had our embroidery retreat this last weekend. Was a blast. 58 women. We did these projects. The towel topper and towel design, and the purse are from anita goodesigns. I do not know where the snowman table topper is from. The 4 square is the start of my drunkard's path quilt. I did get about 24 squares made. All done in the hoop and is going to take along time. We were lucky the weather held out this year, the last 2 years we had blizzard's to come home in. These were fun to make. thanks Sandy

Thanks, that is a 5 hour drive for me, too far in the winter. Especially when it is like this winter has been.
