Nashville Market Video Interviews! UPDATED

Fiber Talk is at the Nashville Market doing videos of the exhibitors. Besides interviewing sampler and counted thread folks, they also talked to Doug Kreinik, Debbie Woodward/Painted Pony and Kathy Rees/Needle Delights Originals.

They also talked to Sally London of Rainbow Gallery about threads and Kurdy Biggs' designs!  (As an aside, the rumor that I would run into the Rainbow Gallery booth and grab all the threads and run is totally false.  Probably.)

Gary and Christine have done a lot of other booth interviews with sampler and counted thread designers.  If you'd like to browse those, go to their main page and explore.

UPDATE:  The fun continues as Gary interviews more folks at the Nashville market.  This set of videos includes an interview of Julia Snyder of & More.

Leigh Designs Goes to Market UPDATED

Leigh's Seashore Santas in Deux Bijoux Bijoux Double Tray

Leigh Design's monthly newsletter is out and it is full of news from the San Diego TNNA Market.
http://www.leighdesigns.com/News/

I assembled as many links as I could find to the things Leigh mentioned in the newsletter.  Her Deux Bijoux Bijoux tray, complete with Seashore Santas, that a shop took home is pictured above since I know it's not on the DBB website yet.

UPDATE:  Deux Bijoux Bijoux has updated their website with all the new trays, frames and such that came out during the San Diego show.

You can see the four available Santas who are at the beach and the crowns Leigh mentions on her website.  I believe four more Santas in this set will appear in June at the TNNA summer show.

Here is Nenah Stone's longhorn.  While I was searching for it, I discovered there is a similar stocking (second link below).

I don't think Strictly Christmas has an online presence but I did find a sock monkey with Christmas tree on eBay that is cuter than cute.

You can read about the newest StitchPlay books on Michael Boren and Carole Lake's website.

Rainbow Gallery hasn't updated their website yet but you can see the Entice, Capri and Silk Lame colors from this fall there.

Leigh's already told you how dangerous it is to get anywhere near Hug Me bags.  But if you are feeling brave, here is their website.  The pretty red Passport fabric is on the right side, third row from the bottom.

I didn't find a photograph but you can read about the Stumpwork Implement Kit from Access Commodities here.

Here is a bit about the Spanish style gold work class Leigh mentions.  For more of her jaw-dropping work, visit her blog in the second link below.

Hug Me

Pocket Full of Stitches is having a trunk show of Hug Me bags. These are project, tool, and storage bags that are made in a variety of sizes in many fabrics so you can pick and choose what you need in colors that appeal to you.  There are even bags that drape over a fat couch or recliner arm to hold various tools and threads.  The photographs PFOS posted include some interior shots, too, so if you are in the market for a new tote, you'll want to explore Hug Me.

Hug Me

Shops and stitchers rave about the Hug Me line of stitching bags. I've not seen these in person so I was skeptical about them until I saw this morning on Pocket Full of Stitches' website that shows all the pockets and zips inside. Now THAT'S a BAG!

Here is the company website so you can drool some more.

Hug Me

I recently stumbled across the website for Hug Me bags, those fabric tool bags useful for any needle worker who needs to carry their projects around with them or wants a nice portable place to keep the current piece.  Here are the bags they offer.  There re a lot useful for needlepointers, from a carrying bag for the System Four floor stand to bags that will accommodate lap stands to ort and tool boxes.  They even offer snap trays and everything is available in a huge variety of styles and fabrics.
