I used to come to Counted Stitches in No Augusta a lot in the 90's - I still do some sampler stitching but order almost everything on line however there is nothing like being able to visit a np shop in person. Maybe our paths will cross one day.

I hope you will find a class nearby that you might enjoy. So many shops have newsletters or websites that keep you up to date with any classes that they might be offering. Do you read the Needlepoint Now magazine? So many shops advertise there and that could provide you with a place to start looking for classes in your area. Thanks for stopping by the blog!Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382209172583398305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8801648771624027611.post-37895521807848433562012-04-30T18:25:15.191-04:002012-04-30T18:25:15.191-04:00You're sweet, Robin, to stop by.

I finished the sunflower petals last night and look forward to getting back to the dark brown center.

You sharing your adventure is encouring me to try a class even if I go alone. Your piece is fantastic and it sounds like you had a great time. I enjoy following your blog and seeing what you are working on. How do you find about all the classes?

Thank you. I appreciate that you make this journey with me and that we can share what we love to do. Why don't you ask your nearest needlepoint store if they would bring Robin to their store? I bet she would consider it. She's a wonderful teacher and just the nicest, kindest person! You would really like her! <br /><br />I can't believe it's almost time for us to go to Memphis. I'll email you and get your contact information closer to the date. Do you need me to pick you up at the airport? I'm driving so I would be more than happy to pick you up.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382209172583398305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8801648771624027611.post-37475074556617962102012-04-29T13:34:57.081-04:002012-04-29T13:34:57.081-04:00We had a wonderful time and I thoroughly enjoyed g...We had a wonderful time and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Elizabeth. This canvas really is a great learning piece and was perfect for a classrom project. Your birthday sounds like it couldn't have been better. I love that your son found a book that is special to you. It makes me think we did well by our sons when they remember us in such a thoughtful way.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382209172583398305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8801648771624027611.post-14383724356276390952012-04-29T11:13:10.964-04:002012-04-29T11:13:10.964-04:00Hi Melinda,

I absolutely love this canvas and would love to stitch it, if only Robin would come to Michigan to one of our needlepoint stores to teach. I can't wait to see it finished. 19 more days until Amy's. I am so excited.Diane Gasiorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252915185011195054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8801648771624027611.post-8128480116759149942012-04-29T10:25:23.301-04:002012-04-29T10:25:23.301-04:00I am so happy for you.

What a great learning canvas, and pretty to boot. Can't wait to see more.Steph's Stitchinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238613701337940831noreply@blogger.com
