“A lady does not discuss the size of her stash… but she does bring photos to show her friends!”

• Write your name on the back
• Turn in to Wiebke or Sarah by Saturday after breakfast
• Photos will be displayed and judged in fun, no-pressure categories

Challenge 2: The Stash We Don’t Talk About

• Use your leftover ends to create something fun or functional
• Bring your finished piece to the retreat
