More Stitching time you say?? OK!
I know a lot of you (myself included) were sad with the big gaps between the retreats and we can't have that! So hopefully this will give you a little extra time to start new Starts or whip those WIPs into shape!
From Saturday, November 1st, 10am until Sunday, November 2nd at 6pm, we will be stitching like crazy in the large meeting room at the Hyatt in Verona, WI. This "Lite" version is 2 days instead of 3 and doesn't include dinner.
Details:
$35 for Sat and Sun for a 6" table.
Due to how wonderfully fun it was, we will also be playing LCR again. More details as it gets closer 🙂 And who knows, maybe I'll pick up something else fun this year at Stitch Con!
We are a very low-key event. We don't have vendors or special classes, but we have good lighting, room to work, and a whole weekend of nothing else to worry about except stitching with new friends, laughing a lot, and learning the most ridiculous things. :)
We have room for 25 people, each getting a 6ft table, or a couple possibly sharing a large round table. Payment required to secure your spot. Full refund before Oct 1st. After Oct 1st, full refund if I can fill your spot from the waiting list. Last day to sign up is Oct 27th.

You are in charge of booking your own room.
Email Nicole Conway at [email protected] to get the room rate for our group of $129/night. This includes parking, Wi-Fi, and breakfast. Mention you are with Not So Serious Stitchers or give her my name, Marissa McConnell.

There are plenty of outlets in the room for task lights and other things. I will bring extra extension cords and power strips in case we need them. Although the lighting in the room is pretty good.
You are on your own for food, and you are responsible for all beverages. There are lots of nearby restaurant options for going out or delivery. There are several within walking distance just up the hill. There is also a small cooler of food at the restaurant bar that has salads and wraps.
Please dress in layers or bring hoodies/fans if you tend to run hot or cold. It's hard to keep a room full of people temperature happy. You know you best.
We will also have a Free Table for you to bring all the Stitchy stuff you have that just doesn't do it for you anymore. Just take home what doesn't get taken by someone else.
If you are unable to come, but want to keep up on when the next ones are scheduled, please join the Not So Serious Stitchers group https://www.facebook.com/groups/851863647128215
