Tomorrow's Heirlooms 2018 Retreat ~ Part 3

Another week has flown by without another blog post...

Now let's resume the fun!

We returned from lunch on our first day to find this fabulous box waiting for us.

We couldn't wait to open it!

Beth Twist of Heartstring Samplery outdid herself!

Look at all the fabulous goodies inside!

And here is the finished project!

Don't we all need more floss?!

I love how it matches the pincushion design that we received the previous night.

The best part - Beth painted every box lid and covered every box in great fabric!

All we need to do is stitch and mount the top!

Thank you Beth for such a wonderful project!

Beth also shared her darling tiny drums! Aren't they precious?! 

Beth has posted a video tutorial about how to create them on YouTube.

After watching it, I think that I might need to give it  try...

(She has several tutorials and videos that you might want to check out)

As wonderful as the project are, the best part of the day was meeting Beth in person.

Beth and I have been online friends for more than 10 years. I bought several beautiful papercuttings from her before she started designing cross stitch. I have to tell you that she is a lovely person inside and out. It's so nice when you meet someone in person and find them as genuine as they are online.

I went to bed happy that night.

And even happier knowing that we would return in the morning for another half day.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, 

and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

~1 John 1:7
