Well it's been awhile since my last post. Busy summer, computer issues. I can't believe it's back to school time. Hope everyone enjoyed summer. Here are a couple pictures from retreat this year. The weather was perfect, I think I only left the porch to sleep. Next year is booked for July 28th through 31st so save the date.

This is a small project that we worked on at retreat this year, using all different fibers. It was so fun to see them all so different.

Applique class - stitches taught by Nan-Marie Graham.
I designed the pattern and dyed the wool for the class. Nan offered to teach the stitches.
We had such a great time, we are already planning our next one. Watch for the email, the next one will be a holiday runner, with even more stitches and embellishments.

This is the table design, you could also do a square wall hanging.

Sone of the great stitches taught. 8 total

 

You won't want to miss the next class.

Spent the morning dyeing some yummy wools, getting ready for vending at Woolfest.

Had a great time at Susan Feller's retreat in the mountains.  It is at a church camp. Met some new friends, spent alot of time relaxing & hooking.
Went to Susan's house for a great dinner Sat night that her husband Jim made. Here are some pictures. Top two are where we stayed.  Susan in her beautiful kitchen. I am already signed up for next year.

This was our most recent workshop. 

Oscar the rabbit. 

Oscar is stuffed and stands up anywhere. We had a great time, everyone chose their own colors. 

I can't wait to see them finished

Happy Easter from Crows On The Ledge

This is the my latest wool applique pattern. 

Now I have another obsession when not hooking.
