Needlepoint Obsession

https://www.needlepointobsession.com/

This year the shop is hosting the first of what they hope will be an annual retreat.  It will be October 18-20, 2024.  Gayla Elliott will be the featured artist (she's designed an exclusive five inch ornament for attendees who wish to purchase a memento) but Sherry Bray, Laura Glazier and Christine Kristen (who owns CBK) will also be attending.  There will be classes, demonstrations, trunk shows, lunch each day and of course, too much fun.  (If that is possible, which I doubt.). Just bring your own canvas....

Breaking News: The Needlepoint Clubhouse Has New Space UPDATED

Megan of The Needlepoint Clubhouse in St. Louis just announced she has new space--

Don't get excited just yet.  The larger space and the cottage next door (available for retreats) won't be ready for a while yet.  Lots of renovation and decorating have to come first.  I anticipate it'll be the Winter of 2025 before the shop gets settled in their new location.

UPDATE:  We have a move in date!  They will be closed March 14-17 and then reopen at the new location:  9850 Manchester Road, St. Louis, MO - phone 314/432-2555.
