This past weekend, I attended Margaret Bendig's Retreat at a Catholic Retreat Center in the wine country of Temechula, CA. Most of the stitchers are participants in Margaret's weekly classes at Needlepoint, Inc. Counted work (beyond my mental capacity) seems to be their first love. The theme was Stitch your Stash. Everyone arrived with multiple projects. Ages ranged from middle 30''s to "I can't believe you can still see to stitch". There were 3 mother/daughter couples. In between stitching and snacking, we had great meals prepared by the Retreat Center's chef.
I thought you would enjoy seeing some of the projects in progress:
