Happy Monday, Friends!
My travels to Alabama and back home to North Carolina went smoothly. I listened to an audio book while driving back roads and that helped the trip go quickly.
The purpose of the trip was to attend Market Day at GaRon Stitchery in Ozark, AL. I explained about Nashville Market here.
Gary and Ronny had all the market goodies displayed
such that customers did not have to dig through charts to find what they
wanted.
I stitched after I picked up my pre-order…and did a little more stash enhancement. There were a few other ladies that hung out all day and stitched with me. Then the guys joined us when things slowed down.
Gary closed the shop an hour early so he, Ronny and I could grab an early dinner. I needed to get a good night’s rest before driving home on Sunday.I didn’t take a lot of
photos of the trip because I was too busy socializing and stitching. But I did take some pictures of my market haul.

There are five designers who collaborated on a seasonal project called Baked Fresh. Each created five designs to be displayed on a wood cookie jar.

Lastly, I picked up new needles, ric-rac, needle minder, and some pins
This should keep me busy for a while.
But first, I need to make the Sewcialites 3 block that was released last Friday, and the Fat Quarters by the Dozen block that was released yesterday. That means the next update will be a quilty one.
See you soon!

Wowza! You have a lot of stitching to do! So many wonderful charts celebrating the country’s 250th. My favorite is the drum. I stitched the Pledge of Allegiance for my husband’s office when he was in the Air Force. I have always wanted to reframe it…..maybe I’ll do that this year. Enjoy looking at your projects and deciding which one to do first!
What a haul! You will be staying busy all year
Goodness Ronny and Gary did a LOT of work - look at those attractive displays! You really got some good stuff, what fun you have in store. My favorite is that skating Santa!
Just lovely acquisitions, Jeanna!! I really like that Midnight Santa stocking--so neat!! Lots of stitching in your future...enjoy ;)))

OMG what a haul! You really have some fun stitchin' ahead that will keep you out of trouble, haha. My favorite are the cookies. I might have to look those up.
That looks like a really fun event, Jeanna! You will not lack for stitching projects this year at all. I love the little cookie designs - they look like fun!
Dear Jeanna, you scored really well, dear friend. What amazing finds. 👏 I love exploring places like this. I was at a thrift store here in Montreal today and had a great time looking around. I found and purchased a few things and was so happy with my finds.
This place in your photos looks so neat and organized and there are so many beautiful things.
Thank you so much for sharing. ❤️
My but that market was so well organized and you found so many lovely treasures!!! My favourites have to be the two Christmas stockings. Of course your other choices are also great. Long ago I did a Santa in cross stitch. I get him out every year.
The event you went to looked fun. Nice haul of goodies you have got yourself. Love the Halloween cookies, they are so cute.
What an event! I can see why you pre-ordered. . .there was so many goodies in your photo. . .it could have been overwhelming! Your purchases were awesome!

You bought such great stuff! Market Day looked like so much fun! I wouldn't have known where to begin with so many goodies being displayed. Enjoy your new supplies. I'll be looking for them as you start stitching!
That is one amazing haul, Jeanna. I am so glad that you had a wonderful time. I look forward to seeing your pretties stitched in the future.
