Packing for Baltimore

The TNNA show in Baltimore starts September 7. Whoopee! Barbara has new suitcases she plans to fill with goodies.

Pepita has a new model, a purple bedroom from the Home Sweet Home series.  You'll laugh when you hear why she chose this to stitch.  (Click on the link to see the rest of the series.)

Quail Run is taking Nancy Coffelt Christmas stockings to display at their booth.

It's not going to be ready until the January TNNA show, but dede Odgen just announced on Facebook that she's doing an expanded Shadow Stitches book. Can't wait!  It does look like her book More Shadow Stitching is still available, however.

Amanda Lawford and her son Derek Clark have updated the AL website.  There are plenty of new things under the New category, plus they have added new box styles to the boxes they sell.  Look at the bottom of the page where you will see "Includes New Boxes."  Click on that to see all the many boxes they sell, not just the few that are under the New category.

Vicky DeAngelis has glimpses of new tools that will be available at Baltimore.

EyeCandy has made some unique scissors fobs for TNNA.  Ruth Schmuff will have them if you are a shop owner or can bribe one to pick up one for you.  I think Ruth might have some from earlier batches still in her shop, Bedecked and Beadazzled.

Finally, SharonG has a new Christmas design, a stitcher's ornament.  This will debut at Baltimore but Nimble Needle is taking pre-orders for the canvas and a canvas/stitch guide combo.  The shop will even do a threads and beads kit.  I can attest no one does a more thorough stitch guide than SharonG.
