ReplyDeleteI wish it was close to me in the Pacific northwest. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBesides home in Iowa, my favorite place to hang out is Sedona Arizona. Those quilt among the red rock of Sedona would be amazing. It's such a cool place to be. It would be so awesome to win this goody bag too!

I've never been to an event like Stitch Gathering but would love to go - some day. If it were in Victoria or Vancouver, BC, Canada, it would be great!
ReplyDeleteThe Oregon coast!
ReplyDeleteRomantic poet Lord Byron famously put it thus: “At the moment of the creation of our planet, the most beautiful merging of land and sea occurred at the Montenegrin seaside... When the pearls of nature were sworn, an abundance of them were strewn all over this area.” Suzi Ross suzana@ blueyonder.co.uk
ReplyDeleteI wish it was close to me in Canada... is that even possible??!! Lol

ReplyDeleteChicago....
ReplyDeleteEdinburgh is a pretty cool place to have it, but I'd love to have it somewhere like Colorado where there would be great opportunity for a shop hop too! Or, maybe just quietly on the shores of Lake Windermere with cream teas and a luxury hotel break built in. dreaming on .... Thanks for the giveaway opportunity, Jo.

Dream big! How about Florence, Italia?
ReplyDeleteAmazing hoodie bag. Being realistic rather than some far flung location I couldn't afford I'd love for the Stitch Gathering to be somewhere in the South like Exeter, Taunton or Bristol.
ReplyDeleteOops that should say 'goodie' not hoodie! Damon autocorrect lol

DeleteLiverpool would be great, though I'm not sure one Stitch Gathering would be enough as we like to do things in duplicate (cathedrals, football teams) or even triplicate (universities).
ReplyDeleteTweeted too

ReplyDeleteOh this is wonderful. Thank you for the chance. What to think of Italy? Wouldn't that be great? I spent this summer on an Italian mountain top and dreamed about quilting and friends and lovely food. Pretty great, right?!

One of my favourite places in the world is the small town of Carmel in California. What could be better than a day spent at the retreat then go to the beach to watch the sunset.
ReplyDeleteI think a retreat on a tropical beach would be lovely! I'm picturing a thatched hut on stilts, where we could feel like we are outside but protected from the sun ... I'm not really a beach person because I get bored, but if I was stitching all day, I would love the beach!
ReplyDeleteDream location??? Hmmm perfect where it is x
