Love watching and listening to you! Your enjoyment and excitement for our craft is contagious! Enjoy your trip to Germany!

Thank you for sharing all your cute items.

Safe travels Sarah. Thank you for sharing all the lovely retreat goodies.

Thanks for sharing. Safe travels enjoy Germany. ❤

We were so spoiled at the retreat. Joanna made the cable tie floss holder with Maine flag and stork scissors and Maine charm….just love it. We were so spoiled it feels impossible for me to really express all the fun I had and the thankfulness I want to convey in everyone’s generosity. 🧵🪡🧵

Thank you for sharing your goodies.

Retreats are so much fun and you get so many goodies! So glad you enjoyed it! Have a great trip to Germany!

I'm looking forward to hearing about your trip to Germany.

Fun video, Sarah! I’ve been seeing several retreat recap videos and each and every one is so good. The creativity is amazing in all of the little gifts that stitchers share. Have a wonderful adventure in Germany! Thanks for putting the time and effort into making videos to post while you are traveling, I’d certainly miss seeing you. Take care! 💐

I want to attend a retreat and I so appreciate the encouragement to do it even if alone! Loved all the goodies in the swag bag and your thrift store finds too!

Enjoyed the video ❤😊 great finds ❤

Wonderful video ❤

I love chickens 😊

The green giants kid is called sprout. Safe travels

Great video! You need to stitch a pattern for your trashcan! That was a really neat find! You got some great treasures from retreat! Safe travels!

Uff-da is also used in the Upper Midwest, the little Jolly Green is from Welcome Stitchery, and Yes, the BS is Bougie Stitchers 😀 Enjoy your Trip, don't worry about doing any communication.

Gute Reise und viel Spaß! 😊 🇩🇪

Uff da sticker is from the Welcome Stitchers floss tube channel called WIPS and sips. Comes from Blue Earth MN in southern MN. Green Giant gets veggies to can from the farmers in the area. The charm you received is named Little Sprout. I grew up near by. There is also a museum dedicated to SPAM canned meat- I’m serious!

Thank you for the encouragement to attend a retreat.

LOL! It’s against my religion to read directions. Good thing my husband reads every.single.word! Using childhood photos for floss drops isn’t new. I did it two years ago, but I had never seen it done before. Glad it’s catching on. Ha ha!

You can keep all your ducks in a row!

Have a fabulous trip. Really enjoyed all of your fun stuff from retreat, such creative people.

Love your videos. Have a great time in Germany, my husband was German so we went there many times. I still don't speak German though and we were married for 53 years. What part of Germany are you going to. Anne

Good Morning Sarah: Lovely language German is. Trash can is adorable, love the floss rings, the pin cushion is adorable, you have so many lovely gifts. Love the Jolly Green Giant, he should be our mascot here in Minnesota at all our professional games. Have fun on vacation.

Get brave…… give us a room tour!

Uff Da, the expression is of Norwegian origin, used mostly in the upper midwest. It's used to express surprise, bafflement, or dismay.

Wips and Sip are Welcome Stitchery from Minnesota. I'll be glad to show you how to use the magnetic stand!! Have a safe and fun trip to Germany. We want to go to Oktoberfest 🍺🍻 possibly 2025🎉🎉

Hope you are having a great time. Thx for thinking of us!

Uff da may be a polite way to swear? Have heard from some MN people of Norwegian heritage

I was supposed to go to a cross stitch retreat 3 weeks ago, but landed in the hospital with pneumonia. I felt like crying.
