Upcoming Event: Canvas Crawl 2025

June 18-June 22 is the 2025 Canvas Crawl.  This is a shop-focused event in the Northeastern US.  All the shops participating (the link below lists them) will have special guests, trunk shows, sales, and more.

It's a nice way to promote needlepoint and support the shops that support us, so gather up your current (or potential) stitching buddies and head out to visit the shops.

If You Are in Boston Tomorrow...

...you may want to drop in to see The Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston's Stitching + Sake event.  If you are a guild member, why not take some flyers with information about your next EGA or ANG meeting?  Some folks are going to be intrigued, after all.

Needlepoint Events UPDATED

There's a new website in town--Needlepoint Events!  Vicky DeAngelis mentioned it on her blog tonight.
http://mostlyneedlepoint.com/so-whats-new-2/

The website is going to be a database of upcoming events and classes and will be searchable by location, shop, or teacher.  There is even a place for class reviews, trunk shows, and monthly clubs!
http://needlepoint.events

I don't know anything about the site except that it is based in Atlanta and is probably paid for via advertising. The site has been created by Mark Young of Labors of Love.  Thank you, Mark!

Hopefully Needlepoint Events will take off.  Let me tell you, I cannot wait to be able to stop updating the Classes and Events tab or the Monthly Clubs tab!  All this is a lot of work and blogs are not a suitable format for databases of classes and events.  The limitations of listing them on Blog is painfully obvious to me and probably obvious to you, too.  And then there's the issue of listing trunk shows, which I am opposed to as I believe that it simply trains stitchers to ship for the lowest price instead of supporting shops that are too small to afford deep discounts and frequent sales but which give stitchers endless help when they need it.

Stay tuned....

New on Blog

There's a new Tab on Blog this morning--Classes, Retreats, Seminars and Events. Lots and lots of people want to know what's happening in the world of needlepoint so I decided I'd start listing these items. If you know of things I don't, please let me know. There are more things to do than any one person can keep up with!

Needlepointers at the Cancer Wellness Foundation Event

The Needle Bug just participated in a Cancer Wellness Foundation event. Good for them!  The link below has a slide show of what went on in their booth.  October is still Breast Cancer Awareness month. Have you had a mammogram lately?

Events for Needlepointers

Shops are starting to get creative with special events for their customers.  For example, Old World Designs is following up their road trip to see Melissa Shirley's studio with a visit on June 30th to Maggie/Ewe and Eye.  If you are in the Menlo Park, CA area on this date, call the shop to register.
