What a way to start the Holiday Season!!!!
This past October some of the members of RI Stitchers terrorized Mystic, CT for Sue Donnelly’s Stitcher’s Hideaway Mystic II Retreat with Belinda Karls-Nace of Blue Ribbon Designs!
We will be doing it again in February for the Alumni Retreat! Come join the fun!!

Read The Stitcher’s Hideaway Fun Report for all the goings on with Rhode Island Stitchers Jill, Melissa, Lisa Anne, Kathy and honorary members Sue , Belinda and Michelle!

Oh and the references to those on Santa’s Naughty List at the Mystic II Retreat this year were made up of most of the RI Stitchers!
It was fun getting on the Naughty List but Melissa and Lisa solemnly swear not to spend the night with Capt’n Morgan before attending cross stitch class!!! 
Who knew it would be so hard to backstitch on 28ct. linen with a hangover?!?!
Santa ended up giving us presents anyways once we found out he liked a few glasses of wine with Mrs. Claus after a hard night’s work!

Melissa got to show off one of her gorgeous Teresa Wentzler designs (she is a huge TW fan!!) during the Show n’ Tell part of the weekend! RI Stitchers is going to be have a TW themed Stitch N’ Bitch soon. Drop us a comment and let us know if you are interested!!
I live in NM, but my heart is in RI.
Do you have any patterns having to do with Quonochontaug?
I believe the proper term for my love of TW is “addiction.”
And it may or may not be a healthy thing (depending on the day you ask).
I stand corrected my friend.
