We are happy and sad that we have to announce that are retreat in July is full for people attending 2 days. We have 3 spots left for 1 day (Saturday). If you would like to join us Saturday just let me know! We are sorry if you wanted to join us and did not get in. We hope you will join us next year!
We have a waiting list started if you would like to be on that.
For the ladies who are attending our retreat, the Tool Organizer class is full but the Wool Wreath class still have seats available. Let me know if you would like to join this class!

Hello friends! Just stopping by to let you know that this has been the fastest our retreat has filled up! We only have 15 more seats to go! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
This means, if you had been thinking of sending in your application, you better do it soon before we have to turn away applicants! If we have to do that, that would make us very sad! Getting excited for this retreat! It's going to be great!

Hello fellow rug hookers!
Thank you for your interest! So excited to see you all! We have had a little hiccup with our catering for Saturday. We are looking into another place that will cater for us. The other caterer has not been responding very well. Sorry for the delay but I can assure you we are all ready to send out the applications except for this 1 issue. Thank you for you patience!

Marjorie and I went to Sauder Village Rug Show yesterday and guess who we saw... that's right we saw Lauren Fuqua with her wonderful rugs, Diana Kistner with her beautiful rug and Mary Kay Bailey with her exquisite rug. Wonderful job ladies! If we missed anyone there, we are sorry but know we are
proud of you putting your beautiful rugs in the national rug show at Sauder Village!
We also met a lovely lady who entered her rug in the Celebration magazine contest and Won! Congratulations to her! What an honor to be chosen with such a wonderful rug!

Marjorie and I want to take this time to thank each and every one that attended our 6th year for our retreat! We had a few growing pains with this one but we made it and have many memories to share! There were lots of creative moments from a talk with Paula about her backgrounds, My ornament class, Marjorie's basket class to all the hooking a gal could want! We are already talking about next year's retreat with more creativity to come! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ❤️
Keep on hooking!
