Needle Art 2012

Although not as well known as the Woodlawn Plantation needlework exhibit, the show each year at Montpelier Museum in Maryland also is a great place to see and exhibit needlework.

You can read more about the November show here and find out about the Needle Arts retreat going on at the same time.

A Little House with Needlepoint

Carolyn has done another house tour, this time to a small Texas farm house that belongs to her sister that looks to be full of stitching, family and good food.

Then she moves on to a house full of stitching on the California coast.  Wonderful!

You Were Warned!

See that second photograph?  Know what those are?  Those are personalized bins ready to be filled with goodies during the Julia Snyder class.   My advice to the retreat goers would be to not take all their credit cards!!!!

Here are more photos from the retreat.
