A Stitched Viewing and Studio Warming Party

A few weeks ago I finally was able to invite my family and friends over to the studio for a studio-warming party and a special Stitched viewing party! Because the TV show I was a contestant on is a Canadian based show and we’re hanging out down here in good ol’ New Jersey most of my friends were unable to watch me run around like a lunatic while being filmed. But lucky me, the production team sent me a private link to view the episode outside of Canada (if you’re within the borders of our great neighbor, Canada, you can watch all the episodes on Slice.ca) so I decided to make a night of it!

We packed my little 300 square foot studio and gratefully borrowed a projector from Patrick’s brother (thanks again, John!) and laughed at my antics together a few Saturdays ago. The night reminded me how lucky and grateful I should always be for the amazing support system I have surrounding me. From new friends I’ve met because they were my sewing students first to a wonderful group of women I’ve been lucky to grow up with, everyone made me feel so loved and special I can barely find words for it.

Also, I didn’t cry! Not once! I got a little choked up when I went to say thanks to everyone for coming right before we watched my episode, but that was it. Mostly, I just felt that tell-tale warm and fuzzy feeling you get when you realize how lucky you are.

Here’s a few more photos of friends and family from the night!
