So much fun and great show & tell! I’ve done a few Crabapple Hill designs. Was sucked into the Salem Witches Guild project many years ago by a girlfriend, I made 3.5 witches, and even tho I love embroidery I don’t love Halloween (I know, sorry!). It remained a UFO until I decided to finish 1.5 more witches and make it a pillow for Halloween decorating. It’s SO cute, and is now an FO!!!
Awe Anna - Happy Birthday Month - So happy you had a wonderful BIRTHDAY PARTY 🥳 🎉 🎊 The retreat sounded like a blast - so glad you and your bestie got to go. Thank you for sharing all your fun projects and the tour of Crabapple Hill Studio. You're such an amazing kind person 🙂
Anna, I felt like I was a part of the sharing. So fun! It made me realize that we are all alike. We love to be makers and see what others are making. I even think I was in Sue Spargo's class at Asilomar with the gal that shared Squash Squad. Thanks!
Happy birthday Anna 🎂 glad you have had a good month so far always enjoy your videos ❤ the barn sounds amazing what a blessing to have it as your studio. Love her forest themed work stunning
I have quit a few crabapple hill patterns, two that I’m working on. Thank you for sharing about the retreat, fun was had by all! Happy Birthday all month long!!
Enzo sporting his new outfit......what a hoot. And I can imagine just how long that candy will stay in his bag, right??? My birthday is in October also, but I don't think that I'll get to celebrate it the whole month. I consider myself fortunate to have one day. Looks like you could have a barrel of fun on that retreat. NICE. Good for you. I had to smile when I saw the "flock" quilt. So cute. Blessings
So glad to see you and your projects. Glad you are having such a lovely birthday month. The Lord has blessed you indeed with such a loving family. Enzo is so cute in his Fall outfit! Thank you and G. ❤
Thanks Anna for filming so much of the beautiful things made by Retreat members and taken to share in the 'Show and Tell'. Awesome. Having such a gathering for your birthday with friends and family shows how they love you and you'll always remember this year's one especially. Belated Happy Birthday 😊. Yesterday we went out for a meal to celebrate my husband's birthday and I made him his favourite Pumpkin Pie at the weekend. Our daughter is due home this weekend so we're looking forward to that. Just had our flu jabs so hoping they don't bother me as often happens as getting over Covid is a slow process ☹️
Anna, so nice to see you again -(in your video). The retreat was so much fun, I’m sure all of your followers were inspired. I really enjoyed seeing your on going projects. Yes, I have to agree with you, the retreat was such an inspiration, I came home and organized all of my Crabapple patterns and started 2 projects. Thanks for being you and Happy Birthday month🎂
🎉Happy Birthday Anna. You deserve a celebration for this one! I MUST get my Crabapple Hill projects out. As for the transfer ease, I am NOT a fan. Have it on some projects and find it a pain to stitch through, handle, remove, only to find my stitches didn't go through all layers. GRRR. Thanks for sharing your retreat. Sime day.....
Happy Birthday my gangster Anna. I think you need to go shopping everyday this month and buy lots of Haul. Then come home and show us so we can go buy stuff lol. may you be blessed. With health and happiness my friend. LINDA FROM RHODE ISLAND
Omg!! I have years old crabapple hill projects along with a huge box of white crayons. Non every got made! Would like the colored pencils I think I might more. Now I have to dig them out. We have moved also and not much wall space either. Now I can’t wait to try to find them. So many of my projects are still in boxes and bins. So fun digging out old and getting excited to work them up.
Thank you for another fun video. I enjoyed seeing the Crabapple Hill workshop. I've had the Over the River pattern for quite a while, but have never done hand embroidery. You inspired me to start it. I will try the Transfer-Eze paper. Do you recommend cotton or linen fabric?
Me too Anna, I travel with food😊. Yazzii herself and hubby, are currently in Brisbane (Aust) for quilt show, she said she will be going to Huston next week. Lovely lady! She told me that you are a lovely lady when I said I found out about Yazzii bags from you.
Wow Anna what a beautiful podcast and how wonderful to see all this talent. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep safe and well and happy stitching. Love Gail xx ❤❤
Glad you're enjoying all your birthday celebrations and all that's to come. lovely to share your trip, it looks and sounds amazing. lovely to see part of the USA you live in.
In my todo box is the Crabapple Pumpkin piece. I've had for several years now =/ I wanted the witches shoe piece but havent been able to locate it so the pumpkin is un-started. Beautiful pieces these ladies have done I do love hand stitching & do all my quilts by hand ! Thx for sharing
Hi there, is your witch hat fob from your project bag ( one of the makes from your retreat) a pattern from CAH? I could not find it on their webpage. And I’m in love with it…lol. I would love to go to one of her Halloween retreats someday! Take care..❤
Omg! That retreat looked awesome! I do have several patterns from Crabapple Hill but a little intimidated to start them. Just dipping my toe into the embroidery world. Just need to take a deep breath and just do it. I’m sure mistakes will be made but that’s part of the journey! Thanks for sharing your trip! That retreat would be something I could do. I’ve never been to one but that is right up my alley! Happy stitching Miss Anna.!
Wow that was exciting to see the lovely work. I was surprised to see how large that "over the river" is. No wonder you want to make it smaller. I will sign up for her newsletter!, I know I can't get out there, but I can sure can get a pattern or two. Thanks for sharing. Happy Birthday month. A friend of mine does the same thing.
Great video. Show and tell was the best! I was so intrigued watching while I was sewing binding on a quilt and I almost put one of my clips into my teacup instead of my clip box!
Anna, you can try to scan that image you want to embroider them print and iron that on fabric.. I would try a scrap or remnant first You may even have to reverse image to get what you want. Sometimes if the original image is light you may have to darken with a pen or marker first but that gives you more options of what you can do!! Happy coloring and stitching!!!
Love Crabapple Hill I have a couple but are on my retirement list to do. Thanks for sharing and have an awesome birthday month looks like it is off to a great start.
I have over the hill and through the woods. All the piecing is done and I had started the embroidery in a class where we did the embroidery in a triple stitch. It was taking too long and now that machine has died and they don’t make the mother boards anymore. Too much to rip out so I’ve decided to just stem stitch the whole thing by hand. It’s for me anyway.
October is my birthday month too. I also celebrate the whole month. I thought it was funny that someone else celebrates the whole month. It’s nice to know I’m not alone.
Do you know if the lady who had the bag and notebook used a pattern for the large bag. If so where would I be able to purchase that. It was the large bag that held the project notebook. If not do you think you could find out. Thank you
There were a couple different punky pearl on Instagram. Looks like Etsy has punkpearls from yelm Washington. Is this the correct person?. I tried contacting her through Etsy but I'm not sure if she will get the message. If you can think of some other way to contact her I would appreciate it
You do know squirrel’s like to run together when they are running around gathering nuts😂 You are always so fun to visit with and the info you share helps the rest of us to know where some really great nuts are😊 So glad you are enjoying your Birthday 🎉
Happy Birthday month, Anna. Sounds like the retreat was a great success and video showed such a fun event. You were very successful on their projects. Enzo is looking very stylish in his Halloween outfit! 🎃
What a great video! Makes me want to get my Crabapple stitching out again! And I think I might need to buy the Home Is Where The Flock Is! Sooo cute! Thanks to you and G for the great retreat photo tour!
Happy Birthday Month, Anna! What a fun way to celebrate! How nice to have a Party, too! Glad you enjoyed our retreat. They have some lovely patterns. Enjoy!!!
Anna, Happy Birthday Month. As always, I enjoyed your chat today. I do have a question. I know this is a really big ask. If at all possible, would you contact the person from the retreat and ask where they purchased the Cosmo hoops? I have been looking everywhere for them and I have not been able to locate a place that carries them. Thank you.
I have also been looking.. I know that Meg uses Cosmo thread and has a long relationship with them so may be part of her order… I was lucky to win a raffle but wanted another one of a different size🙏
I have been waiting eagerly to hear about your trip to Crabapple Cove. So glad you had a great time. Happy Birthday (month) and so awesome that you got a surprise party. Sending you hugs and best wishes for the next trip around the sun.
Nice to see you! After going out west and then getting sick it's been nice to start sewing again! Making cancer hats for charity. Sisters rope you in with projects haha😂
Your chat it’s just that a chat. I guess we won’t mix it up because I was looking more for Quilting information and sharing a finish projects. I don’t know who in the world would celebrate your birthday for a month. Perhaps a little narcissistic? Or maybe I just don’t value myself as much as I should.
