Retreating with Margaret UPDATED

Tisha has been on a needlework retreat with Margaret Bendig. I thought the counted canvaswork folks among us would enjoy seeing the photos she took as there are a lot of wonderful patterns and colors there.  I'm sorry I can't identify most of the designers. Luckily Tisha labeled Margaret Bendig's kimono so you'd know who it is from.   Sorry, Margaret's primarily a teacher so usually the only way to pick up one of her designs is to get a class chart from someone on eBay. Too bad!  Margaret does wonderful designs!

Having said that, Tisha posted Margaret's email address here so send her a note and ask for a chart from that class you missed.  Something might just come of that.

Ride AND Stitch

If you love riding horses, you'll have great fun looking at the selection of equestrian-themed canvases that Horse Country Chic found at a horse show. These were all brought by Po's Point which had a booth at the show.   If you need a little "gitty up" or "whoa" in your life, a horse in stitches might be the answer.

By the way, Needlepoint Shop.com has a wide range of equestrian and belt canvases, plus some wonderful tips on stitching belts.  A neighbor purchased belt canvases from this business several years ago and had them finished there, too, and was very happy with the end result.
