This week I hosted the first ever Brother Brand Ambassdor Retreat at my new studio in St. Joseph, Michigan. A good way for me to finish unpacking and get the studio organized after that big move! Did I mention I am never moving again!!! If so, I will invite all of you over to take my fabric 🙂 Winn and I worked non-stop to roll out the red carpet (or should I say blue carpet) for this creative group. We started by installing the new sign and planting flowers. Then onto the inside to unpack my party platters and rearrange the studio to comfortably fit everyone. A quick visit to the Dollar Store added a touch of color with fun table covers, napkins, and disposable plates. Of course, what party would be complete without beautiful flowers! We even added fresh flowers to the bathrooms 🙂

You might recognize some of these ladies from It’s Sew Easy TV, along with my interviews on Sewing News LIVE. Here is a list of the Brand Ambassadors that were able to attend:

Anna Aldmon from Anna’s Awesome Appliqué Designs
Joanne Banko from Let’s Go Sew
Rebecca Kemp Brent from Creative Machine Needlearts
Janice Ferguson from Janice Ferguson Sews
Cindy Hogan from Cynthia’s Embroidery
Laura Pifer from Trash to Couture
Emily Thompson from Life Sew Savory
Angela Wolf from Fashion Sewing with Angela Wolf

We also went live on Facebook and of course technology went awry, probably all the creative juiced flowing in the room! I took the liberty of editing out the blue screen and adding bloopers to the end of the video below. (Please excuse the sound variations, I removed the worst parts.)
