<b>The 2016 EGA Goldbar retreat is officially over. It was one of the best retreats I have been to. Lots of door prizes, opportunity baskets and silent auctions. (Of which I won none of the first two and two of the last.) There was a ton of great Trash to Treasure items. And I set up a "traveling store" of consignment items for sale.</b></div>

<b>One of the fun annual traditions is the handing out of Franz chocolate "goldbar" to any stitcher who finishes a project at the retreat. I'm happy to report that I finished 4 projects! Actually since my DH is the recipient of the goldbar candies, he was also happy that I finished four projects 😊</b></div>

<strong>Hillside Samplings Ann Tarbox-Bad news-I was stitching on the border and noticed I was uncomfortably close to the edge of the fabric. When I double-checked my starting point (in the center) I was WAY off! About 2 inches in both directions. </strong></div>

Personal Statistics for 2015-64 finishes-of which only 5 are medium/large designs. Most of my stitching this year was smalls. It wasn't planned but worked out that way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a long list in January of 22 items I wanted to stitch. Of that list I only stitched 4! Good intentions but I tend to stitch what catches my attention.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are 6 WIP's that I'd like to see progress on. They are Terry Dryden's Tropical Jazz, Gay Ann Rogers Hollyhock House, Crabapple Hill Embroidered Alphabet Quilt, Patricks Woods Button Brag Book, Catherine Theron No Place Like Home and With My Needle Lady's Workbox.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have a Shepherd's Bush stocking for GD#3 due by next Christmas. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I'd like to finish the Renaissance Designs 12 Days of Christmas series. There are only 3 more canvases to stitch in that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are 7 more items in the "I'd Like to Start Them Soon" list. They are Kathy Barrick Good Intentions, Plum Street Samplers The Flood, Hillside Samplings Ann Tarbox, GPA Elizabeth Doll, Farmers Tote (wool applique), SB Needleroll, Carolina Designs Hannah's House.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That totals 17 items which is fewer than the 22 I picked for 2015. We'll see :)</div>

<strong>We had a lazy day here. We went a little rogue and had tri-tip steaks and baked potatoes for our dinner. The best part to me is the smoked salmon we eat as our traditional appetizer. Love it!</strong></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strong>I went to our annual EGA retreat the weekend before Thanksgiving. There was a fierce windstorm in the area on Monday before our retreat started on Thursday. The power went out at the camp and didn't come back on until Friday around noon. Thursday we were notified that the retreat was delayed until Friday and possibly cancelled. But thanks to the hard work of the power crews the retreat went on!</strong></div>

<strong>I took the design from the cover and "rearranged" a few motifs for my Northwest Sampler Guild tea challenge. This year's challenge is stitching monochromatically. This will go on a box I already have. All the stitching is done. I just need to add some buttons. "Boutons" is French for "buttons"</strong></div>

<strong>Then on Sept 9th my father passed away. It had been coming all summer so it was no surprise. But on the very same day, my sister was checked into a hospital's cardiac care unit due to side effects from the cancer treatment she is undergoing. Now imagine me trying to book a flight out of Seattle and trying to avoid flying on Sept 11!!</strong></div>

<strong>I decide not to post any pictures of this funeral (unlike my MIL's funeral casket in June). Remember I told you that funerals in the Midwest are NOT like the funeral's here on the West coast?? Well, Mom decided on an open casket for the funeral viewing and that took me awhile to adjust to. The well-wishers all took it matter-of-factly. In this part of the country we have memorial services with photos, flowers, singing and sharing of memories, but NO caskets are in view. Graveside services are Family-Only!</strong></div>

<strong>Do you like my Nancy Cucci Amazing Greys? I didn't list it as a finish, because it isn't.</strong> </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>One recent night I was busy listing consignment items on ebay, got distracted and started surfing around. I saw a listing with no picture and the description said "GREY GEOMETRIC BOXES" And Nancy Cucci immediately came to mind and I clicked on the auction. There was a photo on the auction page and yes, it was exactly what I thought--but not the kit. It was the finished project! And it was ---Buy It Now for $42!! My hand was shaking. I am not kidding!</strong></div>
<strong></strong><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Not only was it a finished Amazing Greys, but when I got it , the stitching is beautifully done. Laid properly, just wonderful! The seller definitely didn't know what she/he had. Do you think the stitcher passed away? I mean, what else would allow such a thing to happen???</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong></strong> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Now, who else has a bizarre story about ebay (or anywhere else for that matter)?</strong></div>
