WELCOME to the CHILLY HOLLOW NEEDLEPOINT ADVENTURE

Clare of Oz Needle and Thread talks about the two main wholesale trade shows for needlepoint in this interesting video. I thought you might like to know a bit more about these shows since the Orlando show is in a couple of days. Note that these are not open to the public. Only shop owners, designers and tool/thread makers are allowed to go.

Here is what it costs a designer to go to the Orlando, Florida show.

I was thrilled to see this lovely piece of silk ribbon embroidery, done by Cynthia Thomas for the 2025 Needlepoint Reunion.

It showcases Treenway silk threads and silk ribbons and was on display to let shops know just how magnificant their threads and ribbons are. The design is from Anne Brinkley.

Here is the Treenway website if you'd like to browse and plan a purchase.
