If so, you still have time to sign up for The Needlework Boutique’s 2008 spring retreat to be held October 10-12. B. Huysing notes, “Join me in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges at the Log Cabin Ranch, just outside of Monbulk, for a weekend of fun, good food, good company and plenty of unstructured stitching time.
