Boston Strong (with Manatees)

I missed posting canvases celebrating the spirit of Boston during the Boston Marathon earlier this week but the Boston Strong theme is always relevant.   Wellesley Needlepoint has two ornaments that are fund-raisers.

Here are two new canvases about Boston and sports.  (When I lived in Boston the most popular sports were baseball, football, hockey and politics.)

Congratulations to Boston and the marathon runners!

Speaking of fund raisers, Robin King, Charley Harper and EGA's Sun Region are getting together during their regional seminar (second link).  If you live in Florida or Bermuda, make sure you include this EGA event in your plans for early May.

Manatees are a favorite of my husband's from growing up in Miami and The Keys.  They are amazing gentle animals and much loved in our household.

The Clocks on the Coast UPDATED

Needle Nicely is going to feature stitch your own clock faces in the shop this season. (Needle Nicely is in Florida, where the snowbirds flock in season and need things to stitch.)  The shop's customers love belt canvases and love beach themes, so Mary Agnes has plenty of both types of canvas to make them happy.
