2012 Tri-City Chapter Retreat

About 36 members from three NY ANG chapters (Buffalo - Rochester - Syracuse) got together to stitch, show some needlework and have lunch. 



The Syracuse chapter had a painted canvas challenge.  Participants each received the same canvas of a Peacock with a long tail, and instructions to be creative.  It's hard to believe all the canvases started out looking the same.  What a great idea!

The Buffalo Chapter stitched from the ANG Project Book.  A basket of silk flowers with button centers.  To make it more personal, some stitchers used buttons from family clothing that commorated an important event like a wedding, and christening.  Each beautiful basket is unique.  A great project!

These low-calorie treats are really needlepointed!

There was such a variety of needlework and beading on display....Enjoy!  Click on a photo to get a close up slide show.
