It's so much fun to see the same design stitched and finished two different ways!

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....
