Hey everyone, welcome back! I hope Hump Day is going well for you… There are certainly no complaints here. I’ve been having a blast hosting my annual holiday “Naughty or Nice” retreat at The Gathering this week, and it has been nothing short of fun, fun, fun! You might recall when we first announced this event a few months back, that it was pretty much booked full within the first week of talking about it. As a result, we decided to open up a second week, which also filled up super fast. It’s always a great event that features new and exclusive projects, so I’m not really surprised – and again, no complaints from me!
In case you haven’t heard of it, each session of “Naughty or Nice” lasts for just short of a week in December. We spend our time between my class, open stitch, eating, sleeping, and stitching some more. This year I designed an adorable ornament-themed quilt, along with two additional projects to work on, which have kept us all just busy enough. Here’s a few photos we managed to grab…
I’m sure I missed a few retreaters since there were a few out “for a walk” when the camera was out (how convenient for them – LOL!), but I’ll be sure to get more as we go. Anyway, like I said earlier this retreat has been a blast and the projects are turning out to be absolutely darling!
Since I am at retreat I don’t have a lot of time to spend with you this evening, but I still couldn’t resist popping on for just a second to show off all our shenanigans. On top of that, I also wanted to show my appreciation for you reading my blog by letting you in on a little secret ahead of time, right here… right now… To help you stuff those hard to shop for quilty stockings, we’re making it even easier for you to git-er’ done by paying you to shop at Primitive Gatherings. Tomorrow – Thursday, December 7th through Sunday, December 10th, 2023, we’re literally giving you money when you purchase a Primitive Gatherings Gift Card! This is how it works…
When you purchase a Gift Card in an increment of $50.00, $100.00, or $500.00 – either online or in-store – you will receive a Bonus Gift Card as follows: $50.00 = $10.00 Bonus Gift Card, $100.00 = $20.00 Bonus Gift Card, or $500.00 = $150.00 Bonus Gift Card. Bonus Gift Card amounts will be issued on a separate Gift Card for the correlating amount earned. Bonus Gift Cards may take up to 24-48 hours to be issued. Gift Cards must be purchased in separate increments of $50.00, $100.00, or $500.00 ONLY in order to receive the correlating Bonus Gift Card amount – PLEASE NOTE: Gift Cards and Bonus Gift Cards can be used at Primitive Gatherings or The Gathering – some restrictions apply.
Want more detailed information? Tomorrow is Thursday, which means a couple of things… Number one, we have a new block release in the Joyful Gatherings Quilt-Along series, so watch for that. Number two, we go LIVE not once, but twice. First at 1:00 p.m. CST on my YouTube channel, STITCH with Lisa Bongean where I’ll be talking about all things PG and getting everyone up to speed with what’s happening around here – including the Gift Card bonus. Then, around 2:15 p.m. CST we’ll hop over to the CommentSold studio to see what my best little elf Jess has cooked up for us this time around. It should be a good time. I hope to see you there! ~Lisa
