Beautiful stitches, laughter, and memories I’ll treasure forever. 🪡🧵

Thank you to our stitching sisters; our wonderful hostess, Jeanne @sgcountrysampler, and the “shop girls”; and our dear designers, Vickie Jenette of @needleworkpress and Nicki Franklin of @thestitchery, for the friendship, warm welcome, and inspiration.

Spring Green and @sgcountrysampler’s 2026 Boxwood Retreat will always hold a special place in my heart.

Having my dear Momma @jkay49 there made this week even more special. Love you, Mom! You are my best friend, and I’m so grateful that you shared your love of all things precious and beautiful, and that we have these precious memories to last a lifetime and beyond. 💕🪡🧵

💌 Happy Mail Alert 💌

My sweet friend Phyllis @phylliswhite sent the sweetest package all the way from The Netherlands! 🇳🇱🤍

Phyllis and I met a couple of years ago here on IG over our shared love of GH 1857 @soedidee. Living in The Netherlands, Phyllis has the special opportunity to visit Simone’s shop and see her beautiful antique samplers in person—which I think is just incredible!

Phyllis sent me the companion piece to GH 1857, Big House Anno 1826! Of course, this chart has been on my radar, but was not in my collection until now! So beautiful! I may just have to start Big House ASAP! 🤷🏼‍♀️

She also sent a couple of pieces of her favorite quilting fabrics from @petra.prins @petraprinsamsterdam @petraprinspatchwork. Beautiful fabrics! I’ll definitely be searching for the perfect project for these very special fabrics.

Thank you, Phyllis, for your kindness and thoughtfulness. You have made my week! 💕 taken in Spring Green, Wisconsin by @susanxstitches

A super fun week of sweet strawberry finishing and learning from a true legend! 🍓 These two strawberries will soon be on their way to their new homes. Thank you, @blackbirdalma, for the plethora of beautiful designs, expert instruction, and the precious gift of your time. It was such a joy to learn from you! taken in Spring Green, Wisconsin by @susanxstitches
