Paul Revere? Boston Common? Boston Marathon? USS Constitution? Boston Tea Party? Freedom Trail? Lobster? Sand?
When we do our Have a Ball in Boston stitching tour in June 2017, we will be touching on all of these things and more. And most of these events are during the daylight hours - right? Well, what about the nighttime?
Never fear! We are here! On our second night in Boston we will be hosting a Pajama Party/Ice Cream Social Stitch in! Yep, you heard that right! And . . . there will be prizes.
Now, you are not going to win a prize just for any ole pajamas! Nope! You must have a theme! Think of the possibilities! Look around at all the history, the beaches, the food, there are all kinds of things to draw from. My pjs are going to be so cool that nobody will even come close! But not to worry because I can't win - 😊 !
So get those creative juices flowing. Just a hint - you might want to bring a robe to travel from your room to the stitching room. We wouldn't want to scare all the other guests away now would we?
Full details are below so scroll down to a previous post.
Earlier in the day we will have lunch at Cheers - yes the establishment made famous through the television series.
From there we will make our second shop visit. The Stitch Boutique. Kim has some unique designs to share with us that are also Boston related. The ones that really struck my eye are the ones highlighting the fabulous Boston Public Park. Most people familiar with this area immediately thing of the Swan boats and the ducks. The designs I have chosen to stitch and create a stitch guide for are (1) this beautiful 4" x 4" square design featuring one of the swan boats going past a fantastic weeping willow tree.
Here it is stitched. There will be a stitch guide available.
and (2) a 3" round ornament with the end of one of the boats where the swans are featured.
Both these designs can be preordered and prepaid for prior to our trip. Details will be posted on the secret FB page Have a Ball in Boston for those who have registered for the tour.
These are not classes! These are area specific designs that the different shops are going to showcase for us and provide full kits if we desire to purchase as a reminder of our great time.
The CLASS CANVAS was received yesterday and I will be sharing that as soon as I get all the threads together and start preparing the stitch guide. The Class Design will be for an optional full day in Cape Cod and will be the subject of next week's tour highlight post. Costing details will follow on the secret Facebook page for Boston Tour Participants. Come join us! There is still plenty of time.
PARTY ON THE PO has blown out of proportion! We have over 50 participants! Isn't that amazing. We still have people signing up and straddling the fence but as far as this end is concerned we are busily stitching the exclusive design for the trip that is theme related. Those details will be provided to the participants via the secret FB page Party on the Po. I am just waiting for the prices from the painter and participants can begin preordering their kits now. The kits will be forwarded (after receiving from painter - 3 mo. +/ ) so you can add to stretcher bars and be ready to go. The stitch guides will be shared in Italy! I am loving this piece! Can't wait to share!
PARTY PARTY PARTY IN BOSTON!
Thought I'd share a little more with you about the upcoming Boston tour - Have a Ball in Boston June 2017.
Yep! Rumor has it that when we Have a Ball in Boston one of our nightly stitch ins will be a PJ Party! But. . . not just any PJ Party.
First it will involve an Ice Cream Social (at least that is the plan at this point of the game).
Second there will be an optional mini-class. What is it you say? Well, we will be creating our very own beautiful tassel from a full kit – everything provided – walk out the door with a completed project. Price and preorder information will be available on the secret FB page for those registered to take the tour. The lovely hand painted tops, ribbons, guides for cutting ribbon – everything! Lots of color options.
Next up – a Contest ! Four Categories
General Rules:
Must wear pajamas (or night gown and robe).
What are pajamas? For our purposes, pajamas require a top and a bottom (or gown and robe).
Pajamas should be tasteful.
Consider a robe as you must travel from your room to the meeting room - - - just sayin’
So, what are the categories?
1. Most original Boston Theme pajamas
Surely with all the history around us you can come up with something creative!
2. Most stitch related pajamas
I just gotta say that it is a good thing for you that I am not eligible to win ‘cause I got this one hands down!
3. Most creative Onesie
This is a Onesie
This is a creative Onesie
No you cannot copy this one!
4. Most Creative House Slippers (must use flip flops as base – all others will be disqualified from competition)

Best of all, there will be prizes (as soon as I can get some lined up).
So hurry up and join our group. Email me for details or look under files (or scroll further down the page) for the brochure describing the trip. Remember space is limited.
