We started out easy with some random eyelets, which are the bubbly results of a wave. Then, we placed our Petoskey stone, beach glass, medium-sized stones, medium large stone, driftwood, 3 shells, 3-5 small stones. And, we took a photo to refer back to for placement as we progress.
I got the Petoskey stone in place shortly after lunch!
The afternoon was spent walking through the various ways to attach everything and several stitches.
The ribbed spider stitch is looking ok, but the portion of Watercolours Sandstone skein that I got has almost no variation of color in it and looks boring. I may buy another skein and redo it.
I practiced stitching a buttonhole circle on my 2 fingers. I’ll need to get to this piece asap once I get home and before I forget! Luckily, Kathy P from my chapter was in class with me, and I can ask her if needed.
Bill had the Duroc pork chops at the Golden Ox, in the Stockyard area. One of the top 3 best and largest portions ever. Too bad he couldn’t take leftovers home. I had the steak soup again (better than Anton’s).
Then, back in plenty of time for the Expo. I was happy to support the Hearts for Hospice by buying their booklet. I’m sure you can order them through heartsforhospiceofficial@gmail.com
KC Needlepoint has a table, and even though I’ll be going there tomorrow, I got a blue magnetic clip for the Kansas City Royals. We see them tomorrow, too.

Have thoroughly enjoyed your reports from the Seminar. I hope to be at NOLA next year as I won the newcomer’s scholarship last year in Atlanta!
