Just want a weekend getaway....
The LNS in Chambersburg, PA (The Brick Stitch House) had a weekend
stitchaway at a camp just outside of Chambersburg. There was the opportunity to take a class on one of Just Nan's samplers at an additional cost if you were interested. A few folks took the class, but the vast majority just stitched. We had a ball. I know that Diane (owner of BSH) is trying to find a time to have another event, but finding a place to have it is tough. The camp where we had the first one in booked most weekends and we were lucky to get a cancellation to have the February event. If you have a LNS you might talk to the owner about trying to organize something. Doesn't have to be far away or expensive. Anne (in Ellicott City, MD) DebM wrote: Sigh.... Does anyone ever do "weekend getaways" for stitching, not necessarily any classes or such, just a weekend of stitching and klatching? You know, no housework, no laundry, no worries, just stitching? -- Deb Works in Progress: L&L "The Spirit of Christmas" 2002 Christmas Angel Meg's Lacy Sampler Pouch Marbek Nativity Needlework Necessary |

I didn't know there was an LNS in Chambersburg!! I did know that Barb in
Middletown, MD was closing or selling. Maybe I can offer to go to MT Airy, and stay with the grandkids while DD and spouse go away for a few days; I could make that coincide with the stitchaway camp. Maybe, Anne, you should keep me updated. For crying out loud, we were neighbors............we lived in Columbia for five years!! Lots of maybes!! And I have also said I want ( and will) go to the Maritimes next summer to be abstemiously watchimg Sheena, Ruby, Mavia et al, aand will report back as to their actions!!! Snicker!! Got the corkscrew ready, ladies?? Gillian Gillian "Anne Tuchscherer" wrote in message s.com...

Our EGA group did that a couple of years ago. We went to a place in the
hills outside of Ashland, OR (USA) for a weekend of stitching and visiting and eating. We shared rooms/beds and the meals (vegetarian) were included in the cost of the room. We decided against having a class or any particular project so people just stitched on whatever project they chose. It was so much fun that last year some members shared two condos in Sister's, Oregon during their annual Quilt Show and this year they are renting a place on the coast. I skipped last year & this year, partly due to money & partly due to not wanting to leave DH to go somewhere he would like to go. He has NO DESIRE to go anywhere near Ashland, so I didn't feel bad about leaving him home. :-)) I also would prefer to go somewhere where meals are included. I know that some people love cooking together in a group but if I'm going to cook, I would rather stay home & cook in my own kitchen. :-)) Liz from Humbug -- |
