Hello, Stitchers!
Our WIPs & Waves Cross Stitch Retreat at Sea is getting closer, and I'm excited to share another way for us to connect before we sail!
We've created a private Facebook group exclusively for our WIPs & Waves 2027 retreat participants!
While our Caribbean adventure aboard the Celebrity Reflection doesn't begin until September 12, 2027, there's no reason we can't start the fun now.
What can you expect from our group?
🧵 Meet Your Fellow Stitchers: Get to know the wonderful people who will be stitching alongside you during our six-night Caribbean cruise.
🪡 Share Your WIPs: Show us what you're working on, what you hope to finish, and what projects you're considering bringing aboard.
🚢 Retreat Updates: Stay informed about retreat activities, important cruise information, planning tips, and special announcements.
🌴 Get Ready to Sail: Talk about everything from packing your stitching supplies to enjoying our ports of call in Grand Turk, Bimini, and Key West.
A Special Request
Our Facebook group is private and reserved for registered retreat participants only. Please keep your invitation confidential and do not share or forward it to anyone outside our group. We want to preserve this special space for everyone joining us on the retreat.
If you need assistance joining, let me know.
Once you're in the group, please introduce yourself! Tell us where you're joining us from, how long you've been cross stitching, and what project you're working on right now. Bonus points if you share a picture of your current WIP!
I'm looking forward to seeing friendships develop, sharing our love of stitching, and making wonderful memories together.
Here's to beautiful stitches, Caribbean breezes, and new friendships!
Happy Stitching!
