Read What Our Retreat Attendees Have To Say!
Very much enjoyed my first Pop Up Retreat. Great virtual swag bag and lots of good ideas for stitching and finishing projects. It was fun to meet Paola, from Puntini Puntini designs.
Attending Anabella’s Pop-up Retreats is a joy! For those of us who cannot travel, these retreats are a perfect way to join this amazing community! They are a fantastic way to meet new friends, learn about new designers, and get in some quality stitching time, all in the comfort of your own home. I highly recommend doing this again and again!
This is a fun and very enjoyable way to spend the day with other cross stitchers who are also passionate about their craft. It is great to hear their stories, tips and tricks and just relax and have a fun day doing what we love. Elayne does a great job organizing these events. I’ve been to 3 now and really like them. The Swag and Virtual Swag Bags are lots of fun and I have quite a few charts I want to make in the future. It is a great way to make new friends and have fun in the comfort of your own home.
There has not been one retreat that I have not enjoyed. I am like a kid in a candy store going through the shops and what is offered.! I look forward to the next one. Thank you both so much!
This is a fun and rewarding experience. Learning new things, especially finishing techniques, the featured designer, some new vendors I wasn’t familiar with and meeting new stitching friends from all over the country. This was my second one and I hope to participate in many more.
