From the Heart
5th Annual Retreat Registration Form
September 18, 2010

Come join us at this years’ fun. As in the past, we will have some wonderful vendors to share their wares with us. Our own Bernice Koelzer will be there with her soaps and herbs: Sue Henshaw, a local potter, will be with us with her newest work of yarn bowls; and returning this year, Mary Clare Hughes will join us with her home grown, hand spun yarns and various handmade knit items. Another of our own, Tamara Gwathmey, expert machine knitter, will not only offer a demonstration on just how quickly items can be completed on her machine but we hope will also have time to help some of us learn her technique. Her projects are so beautiful!

This year the agenda will be very casual. We will have more opportunity to share our time and expertise with one another. We will offer a problem solving area for knitters and crocheters. You may bring your problem projects for assistance or maybe you might like to ask for help in pattern reading and mistake correcting. We are planning an area for you to browse through interesting stitching/pattern books. We are also planning a book exchange area. Here you may donate your good condition books, novels or stitching related in exchange for other books that grab your interest.

We will have a hands-on felting project area. Here you will have the chance to create your own small item using needle felting. Previously felted potholders will be provided as well as other supplies. Your finished project is yours to keep or possibly use as a holiday gift for someone.

We will have instructors available to teach creative embellishments, both knitted and crocheted. Supplies will be on hand but do bring you own supply of needles and hooks in a variety of sizes if possible.

AND…we have a special project in the works. This year you will be going home with your very own From the Heart Memory Book ! Please, submit your paragraph or two on anything relating to you and our organization. It might be how you learned of us, something special that has touched you through your stitching or maybe just a funny tidbit that has happen since becoming a part of this group. Please send your items to Lois Moore at lois@ftheart.net, or mail to From the Heart, 1425 Crawford Wood Place, Midlothian, VA 23114, or call Lois at 804-305-4971. We need your submission no later than August 7th to include in the Memory Book.

We will have a corner set up with some very special yarns for you to have for personal use, with a nice donation to FtH. These donations, as always, are used to purchase more suitable yarn for our members to use in their creations for others.

If you’d like, bring your show ‘n tell projects to share with others at the Retreat.

A delicious lunch will be provided by Jason’s Deli and we will also offer a morning snack and beverages, and an afternoon break will give us a chance to refresh with other beverages and goodies.

All this for only $25.00 !! Mark your calendar, September 18, 2010, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at Emmaus Christian Church, 1801, Huguenot Trail, Powhatan, VA 23139. Registration form and directions to church will follow soon.
