I was very busy at the retreat. I actually stitched!!! I started the Mill Hill Kit Skating Pond and it was this piece that helped me win a frog! I don't like stitching on perferated paper so I switched it to Jazlyn Opalescent fabric. I LOVE how it turned out. If you look in the top corner you can see the little frog that I won at retreat. It seems that I made the most mistakes and the sad things is that this is 4 year running!! I have a nice little collection of stitching frogs.
For the first part of the retreat I all I could say was "Who wants to stitch my pants???" I wouldn't start the Mill Hill kit until I stitched the pants of my Ozark Sampler 3-foot scarecrow. It was very boring!! I kept asking people to stitch my pants and no one wanted to stitch them....
When we went to different shops I took my stitching with me. On the Mystery SAL from Ozark Sampler the borders had to be outlined all 3 of them UGH!!! So I backstitched while I rode in the car. I am happy to say that I finished outlining the border.

I was glad to see your pants done! :) Congrats on finishing the MH piece. That went fast!
Great progress!! And love the finish....I think those frogs you keep winning are jinxing you, flush em down the toilet! Just kidding! Glad you finally finished those boring pants, LOTS of blue! UGH! At least you finished them, and your borders too! Great job!
Yeah Vickie it looks great and I think it looks even better on material then the paper.
I didn't know who took home the frog. Just glad it wasn't me. LOL!
Your Skating Pond piece looks gorgeous. I'd like to be on this frozen pond right now as we are having a terrible heat wave over here.
