Big Lynn Lodge
Little Switzerland, NC

We only have a few short weeks before we head up the mountain to Big Lynn Lodge in Little Switzerland, NC, for camp. I'm ready and really excited about our project this year! Meg Shinall (owner of the Flower Thread Company) has designed a lovely biscornu (oddly shaped pincushion) using the cobblestone stitch (pulled work) with a delicate rose motif and a ladybug button. A wrapped herringbone stitch will be used on the base of the biscornu. The final assembly will use a laced backstitch.
Hope you've made your reservations and are getting excited about this weekend of stitching and relaxing! FUN!FUN!FUN!

The Lodge sits at 3100 feet and overlooks the breathtaking Catawba River Valley in the higher elevations of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Combine this with a delicious home cooked breakfast and dinner (included with room rate) and comfortable accommodations and it is truly a…feast for all your senses.
