I am going to Utah for the Shepherd's Bush retreat and I can't wait :-). Their retreats are so much fun. My friend Karin and I are taking the Blackbird track which means we will have classes with Alma and Barb, Charland Designs and Jeanette Douglas. We have made plans to do dinners and hang out with Natalia, Valerie and Sara (no blog). I know lots of ladies who will be there and I am so looking forward to meeting up with old friends and making new friends.
I've been stitching like a mad woman this summer in between several fun trips, Chicago, twice, and Mt. Rushmore. I wanted to have at least a few pieces stitched so I could take them to Jill Rensel. She is the most amazing artist and I love her framing. I finished Blackbird Designs Where My Heart Blooms and Summer House and Shepherd's Bush Quaker Heart. I am also going to frame a round robin I finished at least two years ago. I had grand plans of having at least a couple more done but it just didn't happen. I am still trying to keep up on my AoTH piece, I am a little behind but a couple weeks of stitching and I will be caught up again. After that I have several projects waiting in the wings :-).
I have to share a sweet picture of Chloe and Sophie. They are so cute!
I hope everyone had a great summer and got lots of stitching done! I have to say it was bit warm this summer so I am ready for fall. Thanks for taking the time to read my blog.

I bet you will have the most awesome time in Utah in the fall - it is probably very nice there now and the track you are doing will be great! be sure and report all your fun back to the poor smucks that are chained to their desks and housework LOL. enjoy ! Mel
I was going to say "I know, I know" and then you had to go and tell everyone the answer. I can testify that you are taking some wonderful stitched pieces with you. Have a wonderful time if I don't talk to you before the weekend. I can't wait to hear ALL about it. Love the pic of those adorable balls of fluff. Right now the Boston Trio are in the boat on the lake. I hope Paul is hanging on to them.
Sounds like a great trip. Have fun.:)
