About Needlepoint Trade Shows (and Much More)

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.  

Here is how you put your canvases and stitched samples on display at the shows.

If you enjoyed the above, you might like to listen to the interview Fiber Talk just did with Claire.

Here is the Needlepoint Angels website, in case you want to participate.

Here are the padded hanger canvases that Oz Needle and Thread sells.

Here is the finishing video plus links to where to buy the plain padded hangers.
