Well, it was everything I had imagined and surpassed all that the attendees had hoped for...Buttermilk Basin's Woolstock event was a huge success. By the end of the event everyone was tired and worried about how they were going to get all their loot back home! The 3-day event included a couple of meals a day, snacks to fill any treat bag, and three absolutely adorable projects which we prepped and started stitching. Since the event takes place in October, it is Halloween themed and both Stacy West and her crew created a festive environment! There were gifts, bingo, and contests each day and we stitchers love stuff, LOL.
At the end of the day we all would make the trek to the shoppe and add more loot to our ever growing pile. With each visit we would see something that we hadn't seen on the previous visit. Truly the best part of the event was the new friends and old friends we shared this creative time with. I was surprised at the number of Quilt Roadie friends that I got to spend time with!
One of the contests was a Halloween Brooch created by the participants. The brooches were laid out on the table and everyone voted for their favorite. The creativity of the Woolstock Stitchers made it extremely difficult to choose a favorite. I thought I would share the top 3 winners!
The combination of techniques used to create the brooches was wonderful and I think this type of contest would be fun for any guild or stitch group.
Have fun stitching, put Woolstock on your Oct. 2020 calendar, and we'll see you down the road!
Stay tuned and travel along with us on Quilt Roadies.
