NEW UPCOMING CLASS IN THE ONLINE MYSTERY CLASSES!

Invoices have been sent for those indicating an interest in participating in our upcoming Online Mystery Class - Santa Tags - from Strictly Christmas.


It already screams of fun techniques, threads and embellishments!  I can't wait to share with you.

The first session is scheduled to be posted mid-June so there is still plenty of time to sign up and register. The classes are a total of $150 for 6 sessions - one posted a month.  If you would like to join us just email me at duodesignsinc@yahoo.com.  We have quite a crowd so I know it is going to be such a great journey for us all.

We've had an unexpected cancellation on our Mediterranean Stitching Cruise due to health reasons.  There is still time to join us for this adventure!  We arrive in Rome on October 26, 2019.  Some of us are coming in a few days early to play around in Rome a little longer.  Wonder why?  The Vatican? Coliseum?  Trevi Fountain?  Shopping?  Museums?  Spanish Steps?

We will have our first structured class in Rome!  Doesn't that sound exciting.  It will be in the evening so you don't have to miss any of the wonderful sights during the day.

When we leave Rome we are in for so much eye candy.  We will go to Sorrento - and oh my gosh the much anticipated Amalfi Coast!  And on and on!  Look at all those gold dots - means golden memories!


So many places for us to get into trouble - I mean improve our culture!  

The cruise ends in Barcelona.  But so little time.  So guess what?  Many of us are staying over in Barcelona a couple days to get a good taste of the area.  Our agent has arranged for us to see Sagrada Familia. I understand this is a -not-so-easy- place to get tickets for so I am very excited about that.

We will be stitching here and there along the way and will have a couple of structured sessions as well.  This will need to be announced onboard as we are at the Captain's mercy.  

We also will be doing some heavy stitching on our day at sea - I have a few surprises for that day so please plan to join us.   I have a captive audience and I intend to take full advantage - lol.

Watch for postings of when we will be doing group pictures.  I believe there may be 2 separate times planned so that we can try to include everyone.

Keep in mind that you must attend the various stitching events to be eligible for the various giveaways that may be available.  We try to plan everything (other than full day at sea) after lunch so morning excursions can be enjoyed.   We want you to enjoy everything that is offered along the away and try to plan accordingly.  So the structured classes are planned to NOT interfere with your sightseeing and (most importantly to some) shopping!

Our ship looks lovely - the Azamara Pursuit! 




So contact Liz - our agent - lwolak@vikingtvl.com to arrange to join us!  

Here is a peek at the optional cruise project before any stitching.


It is back from the painters and I have put thread to canvas!  So anxious to get enough stitched to show you.  There are a limited number of canvases.  Once the price is determined and announced I would suggest you not hesitate too long if you want to play with these fun-loving gals!

Also remember that you are free to bring your own project to work on if the optional class is not your cup of tea.

For stitching questions email me at duodesignsinc@yahoo.com.

Join Needles 'N Fins Stitching Adventures FB group to keep up with what is going on in our world!

Only a few more days to sign up for classes at the ANG Seminar in Houston.  Check out the offerings at needlepoint.org under events.  Would love to have you in one of my f2f classes!

Have a great weekend and more later 

Sandy
