Wine & Cheese Reception for Needle Artist Spa Retreat

We’re excited to announce that on Saturday night, Oct. 23, we’ll transport the group from our hotel to a nearby wine and cheese reception at Needlepoint Plus, hosted by owner Cindy Humbard.

Needlepoint Plus and Cindy’s finishing work have been featured in Needlepoint Now Magazine:
September/October 2009 issue for “Boo Kitty” stitch guide and finishing
November/December 2006 issue for “Finishing Challenge”

Cindy has a wonderful shop and plenty of ideas for all your needlepoint stitching and finishing needs.
After the reception, we’ll move on to the Cheesecake Factory for a no-host dinner and more surprises.

Stay tuned for more details to be announced!
