Yup, yup, yup, I am going to Hagerstown and can't wait. I did a
stitcher's getaway last year in the winter with The Brick Stitchhouse in PA. That was a blast. The facility was great. Diane (Brick owner) wants to do another this year, but the facility we had is very popular and hard to reserve (lots of repeat customers that have priority reservations on their annual weekend). A lot like the Stitcher's Lounge at CATS with goodies thrown in. The cruise sounds like a lot of fun also. I looked at the webpage for the shop, but the "on-line" copy of the newsletter is from 1999. Couldn't find anything about the cruise on the website. :-( I know the weekend getaways are a lot of extra work for the event sponsors, but the stitchers that attend are ever so grateful for a chance to meet other local stitchers and a chance to stitch uninterrupted by chores, children, spouses, phones, .....

I'm really looking forward to this. stitcher's getaway last year in the winter with The Brick Stitchhouse in PA. That was a blast. The facility was great.

A lot like the Stitcher's Lounge at CATS with goodies thrown in. The cruise sounds like a lot of fun My ANG chapter does a weekend stitch retreat in the spring, and tried this fall. They go to a retreat place in rural Virginia (West and South), usually limited to about 18 stitchers. All those who've gone have really enjoyed it. It's been a truly nominal cost. But, it's the same weekend as Hagerstown, and of course I promised my friend with the LNS that I'd go to Hagerstown. Which sounds like a lot of fun - the idea of mini-classes, and then just lots of time to stitch and relax. I know the weekend getaways are a lot of extra work for the event sponsors, but the stitchers that attend are ever so grateful for a chance to meet other local stitchers and a chance to stitch uninterrupted by chores, children, spouses, phones, ..... I don't know that it's a terrible amount of work, but certainly does take some arranging. For this one, every shop is sponsoring a little class, and tossing something in the goodie bag. And the good thing - no selling during the stitch weekend - so it's relaxed and the various shops aren't in competition. I'm still looking for a roomie - else, DH is tagging along - and can just skate at the rinks up there ;^) or take up some stitching! My LNS Sitch 'n Bitch crew is all going - but we're an odd number (more ways than one) so I'm the leftover! But, I might be able to convince some of my barely stitcher friends to go. Of course, I'm also drafting them to come to market with me in Columbus in June. ellice Ellice wrote: On 1/4/04 8:09 PM,"Tia Mary-remove nekoluvr to reply" *snip* area, the local association of retailers (knitting and stitchin') are having a weekend stitchaway in mid-April.

I would agree that they are well worth the fee. I also got several little kits (one of the MIlkpaint ones - Because Nice Matters - which is in progress!) He's an entertaining and educational speaker.

Ok Gang -- when you guys hear of this type of thing, post about it ASAP please please please!!! I live close enough that I could have made plans to drive down and would have done just that to take the class with Doug! CiaoMeow ^;;^ Why don't you contact Kreinik and ask if they can send you a schedule? There may be somewhere within driving distance that you've never heard of but would be willing to explore if Doug was going to be there. He was here in Medford in October (or was it September???). Since we had just refinanced the mortgage and got money back, DH agreed I should splurge and take the class. It was well worth it. Liz from Humbug -- |
