We arrived at the Marriott Courtyard Hotel in Brampton last night at 6, registered, and unloaded the car. Then we headed to Pos Bueno Mexican Restaurant downtown for supper. Seeing as it was my birthday, the management gave me celebratory churros for dessert. Yum!
This morning, Barb and Poppy were close to the front of the line to get into the ballroom and secured spots for us. We were joined by Katie and Clare - both from Toronto.
So far I have started two projects:
Hello from Liz Mathews’ ‘Merry Christmas Quaker Star’ from last year’s Jingle Ball. I’m doing it with the called-for DMC floss, 1 over 1 on 28ct Monaco from my stash.
I hauled out this long-abandoned turtle project
And suffered my first casualty. Fortunately, one of the vendors, ‘Gammas Treasures’ supplied bandaids to our retreat goodie bag.
I have also had one finish - the Pumpkin Biscornu. I’ll sew it together and stuff it when I get back home.
As I write this, I’m scarfing down popcorn up in our room, preparing to go back downstairs for ‘Make Your Own Sub’ for supper.
There will be door prize tickets drawn at 8pm and the ballroom will stay open for stitching until 11pm.
