You have stuff going on at your studio every weekend? That I could manage to get to! And I definitely want to make the one in Ripley next year. I used to go to retreats at Parchment Valley when I was a member of an American Baptist church. What a beautiful area! I also have a good friend who lives in Ripley, but I've never been able to get down to see her. She's a cross-stitcher, but I won't hold that against her, as I used to be one of those, too.
