To The Beach!

October 14, 2013 By Cathy Habermann 3 Comments

As I sit at my computer, it is rainy and dreary outside. It is not supposed to let up until Wednesday! I suppose I should be thankful that it is not the white stuff coming down.

What I am most thankful for is that this wednesday I am boarding a plane (cue “leavin’ on a jet plane” music) bound for Myrtle Beach & the Cross Stitch Pals Retreat. I am looking forward to meeting fellow stitchers & showing off a few of my wares. I’ve got a special design for attendees, a couple of fun kits, and of course my small, but growing, catalog of designs. I will also have a New Release to premiere!

The list of to-do’s does not seem to be shrinking, so I will keep this one short with a sneak peek photo. I hope to post some retreat pics along the way.

Once I’m back home I will pull a fast turnaround and head to Houston Quilt Market where I will, for a few days, be an official “buttoneer”! I scratched off “stand in the button room of the JABCo offices” from my bucket list a few summer’s ago and now I am excited to go help out in their booth during Market.

Before I go on…here’s that sneak peek!

I almost forgot to mention – I am taking a selection of pre-drilled sunglasses and “cheaters” from Noteworthy Needle. Janis graciously allowed me to bring to some for you all to tryout and purchase. I stitched mine up in a quick evening.

Have a wonderful week & Happy Stitching!
