The Silver Needle Camp Wannasew Retreat-Tulsa, Oklahoma March 2017

The building on the right and in the front is the meeting area.  It faced Sequoia Lake.  The series of small windows in the building behind are the rooms we stayed in.  The two buildings are connected.

This is the lake view to the south (to our left).

 This is the lake view to the west (in the center).

 This is the view of the lake to the North (to the right).

The pine cones were huge!

 This is the view we had sitting inside our meeting area at our table.

This is the view from inside our meeting room behind our table.

This is our table of ladies, minus me.  From left to right is LaDawn and Donna. On the other side is Lee (in front with the red hair), Edie (in the center) and Marilyn.  It was a wonderful table full of ladies.

 Lee with her "Eat. Sleep. Stitch." t-shirt.

Edie, the hitchhiker.

 The store which was full of goodies to purchase!

This is the meeting room.  Three tables on each of the two sides of the room and the store set up between.  The door to our complete kitchen is on the right.

This beauty is called a "tool holder".  LaDawn had meet a lady at a previous retreat who makes these.  I am hoping she is still making them so I can purchase one.

This is Mona who does all the finishing for Lindy at the Silver Needle.  She also finishes for many designers which include Lizzy Kate.  She is short and oh so adorable.  Our table was right next to her finishing table so we interacted with her quite a bit.

 These are two of the four projects we received for the weekend.  The one on the left is Shepherd's Bush "Little Pink House"  The one on the right was designed just for us by the Silver Needle.

This is the back of a Mill Hill Beaded kit which was stitched on fabric and finished by Mona.

 I will never again stitch a Mill Hill kit on perforated paper!  These are two shop models in the Silver Needle and are finished by Mona.  They are exquisite and they were also two of the kits I purchased.

I am in absolute love with the butterfly and I look forward to stitching it on light blue fabric or mint green fabric.

The most beautiful sunset was witnessed by all of us on Saturday.  What a sweet way to end an inspiring weekend retreat.
