I'm going to arrange this listing of the newest items available at the various wholesale trade shows and throughout the year differently than what I did in the past. The latest will be on top, but any shop or designer that posts a large group of new items on their website or blog or Instagram/Facebook page will be in BOLD letters and highlighted in yellow. I won't put those in a different section any more. Hope this works well for you!
Note that you will need a Facebook or Instagram account to see items posted on most social media pages. Sorry.
The upcoming trade shows for 2025 are not open to the public. Only the designers and shops can go to these:
The Winter Virtual Needlepoint Show ?
Fleur de Paris usually has an open house at their facilities in California. ?
The Nashville Needlework Market will be the weekend of March 7-9, 2025.
(this is mostly cross stitch but some designers and tool/thread manufacturers go)
The Spring Needlepoint Show will be March 27-30 at the Embassy Suites in Lake Buena Vista (Orlando area), Florida.
The Summer Virtual Needlepoint Show starts ?
The Autumn Needlepoint Reunion will be October 17-19 at the Embassy Suites Frisco Dallas in Frisco, Texas.
