I usually stitch on 40 and am wondering about the coverage on 35 or 36 with just one thread. I've never been to a formal retreat--just a few years of five of us going to an inn and staying three nights together while stitching and chatting. Very relaxing! I know I would not do well at one of those mega-retreats with hundreds of stitchers there :) Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10368237913096460512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1358298815279665923.post-34686661523230627712021-07-27T20:29:00.620+01:002021-07-27T20:29:00.620+01:00You're making such great progress on all your ...You're making such great progress on all your WIPocalypse projects! <br />Loved to hear about your retreats.
