TNNA's Needlepoint Group is still updating their Facebook album with photos of booths. If you click on the photos, sometimes you can see new items and often the designer is in the photo, which is nice if you want to put a face to the name designer you adore. I've also noticed shops are starting to populate their websites with new designs and folks who are back from Market are blogging a little. All this is listed under the TNNA Winter 2015 Phoenix tab above, except...

...I've put all the stitch guide news on the CH Stitch Guides blog under the Latest Stitch Guides News tab.

Just because the trade show is over doesn't mean the news isn't still appearing.

The Color of the Year Matches Kreinik's
If you follow Pantone's posting of the "color of the year" each year, then you'll be interested to know that the 2015 color is marsala. What's marsala? Well, it matches these Kreinik metallics!

| The El Morocco Pillow |
I was wandering around eBay this week, trying to find a reference to a type of vintage fabric I am interested in, when I found this pillow on eBay.

A needlepoint pillow from the El Morocco Club? What on earth was THAT?

Thanks, Wikipedia.
The pillow appears to be all wool and tent stitched. I would guess it's from the 1960s but I really have no idea and the club closed in the 1950s so I must be off by ten years. I imagine the pillow and other memorabilia the eBay seller is offering came from the September 2014 auction of the club owner's collection. I took the liberty of grabbing a photo since the auction will end before this article publishes.

Enjoy a bit of New York City nightlight history in needlepoint form!
