With all the game playing and museum visiting you wouldn’t think we would have had time to get much accomplished….but just look at all the great projects we made. We quilted, crocheted, knitted, make rugs, and more! We are a creative, fun-loving group! Can you tell???!!!! We can’t wait till the next one!

I’ve missed several days of posting here as I was out of town for our sixth Stitch & Bitch Retreat out at Shenandoah River State Park. We always have such a great time. We sew, crochet, knit, eat, drink, share ideas and play games. The games are a highlight. We play “Strip” Poker using jelly roll strips and the winner gets a ton of them and has to make something and then share. Sometimes it’s scary to win. LOL! We played Left, Right, Center and the winner got to choose from a ton of great sewing/quilting prizes. And you can tell by the photos that there was a lot of joking and laughing going on.

Come to The Studio to learn to Knit and/or Crochet. Both are great hobbies year round but especially in the winter months when you are inside so much. All you need is the desire to learn and a little practice. Check out knitting here…..and Beginning Crochet class here.

We had a blast at a Holiday Family Paint Party a few days before Christmas. Two participants had just gotten off the Red-Eye from California and they rolled in to paint these fun VW vans. Nice work everyone….and so MUCH FUN!

Walking around the show at Southeastern Animal Fiber Fair we saw so many interesting things…and great ideas. And the funny thing is we went all the way to Asheville only to find the best new idea by an artist from our own town – Front Royal. Melissa Yoder Ricks with Wild Hair Fiber Studio had this interesting loom to make these terrific pieces of weaving that can be incorporated into hats, sweaters, etc. I loved them. I’ll be experimenting with it soon. Check Melissa out here.
