I am back from a wonderful long weekend spent with kindred spirits,
the Bittersweet Stitching Sisters!
Each and every one of them talented needleworkers and artists with hearts of gold.
We are spread throughout the country and have anticipated this trip for a year.
What an incredible time! I think that it may take me the rest of the month to blog about it :)
(I'm having a hard time getting through my 240+ photos to decide which to post.)
Our gathering took place in the wonderful town of Osage, Iowa. Everyone that we met was so very gracious and welcoming. We felt at home immediately.
So many wonderful and unique shops in and around Osage, we tried to visit as many as we could.
And such a wonderful time of year with the lovely colors and harvest.
Here are a few photos of our first stop.
Can you guess where it is?
I think this shot may give it away ;)
As soon as I finish unpacking, I'll be back with more on our first stop.
Blessings, Patti
