If you like going places to stitch--particularly if you are a fan of counted canvaswork--and you also like mystery pieces where you don't know how things will turn out, then you need to check out Liz's progress on the 2012 Mystery Retreat design she is working.

Sorry, this design isn't available anywhere unless you went on the retreat or talk someone who did into parting with their instructions--or unless it is offered in a cyberclass, which does happen occasionally. These retreats are held by Linda K. Reinmiller, Debbie Rowley, Pat Hartman and Mary Knapp. (The latter two ladies make up Creative Reflections.) They create the design together and then put on the retreat. Stitchers who go pick from several available color ways but otherwise, everything is Top Secret until you arrive and start stitching. This year's retreat is July 16-18 in Phoenix and registration is closed (although you might still get in if someone cancels).

It's a fun way to get together with fellow enthusiasts and stitch something amazing.
By the way, if you aren't familiar with these designers, check out the Counted Canvaswork Designers tab here on Blog to find their websites.
UPDATE: Here is the 2015 retreat design.
