Registration Now Open for Mystery Retreat
This year is the third annual Needle Arts Mystery Retreat. This year’s retreat, Canvas Country, will be held in Nashville, Tennessee during the weekend of July 19th - 22nd.
The five designers involved in this fun but mysterious stitching event are Patricia Hartman and Mary Knapp, both of Creative Reflections, Jackie Murawski of Sam-Cloth Designs, Linda Reinmiller, and Debbie Rowley of DebBee’s Designs. Be sure to visit the designers’ websites for an idea of their styles!
At the retreat, these designers will present a trunk show of their work, and you’ll have opportunities for stash enhancement. You’ll want to save up for this shopping excursion, as these designers are some of the top needlework instructors in the US — and most of their designs are NOT available in stores!
Each designer created a portion of the Mystery Retreat design and then stitched the entire project model in her choice of colors. After you see what the design looks like stitched in each of the five stunning colorways which resulted, you will select one of those colorways for your project. The pictures shown here depict the five color palettes available this year.
This gorgeous charted needlework project will be done on 18 count canvas using a combination of silk and other (non-wool) fibers.
You’ll find more information about this wonderful Mystery Retreat weekend here. Additionally, I will be posting even more information about it here in a day or two, so watch this space!
