Nashville Market 2013

The TNNA trade show last February is just one of a series held each year. The Nashville show is mostly counted designs, particularly cross stitch, but there are some wonderful counted canvaswork designers who show there.  Quail Run has picked up a lot of goodies for you to count.  There's a new nylon thread, too.  It's called Twinkle.  Anyone seen it?

Speaking of new things, want to see the new scissors fobs from Papriki Pi that Needle Works has in stock?

Carrying Clara Wells

BeStitched has the Clara Wells trunk show at their shop and are showcasing the clean looking tote bags the designer offers on their blog.  They say they have more photos on their Facebook page, which is BeStitched Needlepoint (second link) but I don't see them there yet.

A Carpet to Remember

Ridgewood just posted several photographs of a customer's lovely rug, stitched over several years and beautifully stitched, too. You can admire it at the Ridgewood blog.  I'm sorry I can't identify the designer but I think the teapots are Majolica and Wedgewood styles.

Woodlawn's Snow Policy

Folks who are wondering if the Woodlawn Plantation needlework exhibit will be open when it starts showing here this week will need to check whether the Fairfax County Virginia schools are open or not.  Woodlawn will not be open if the schools are closed or are opening late due to snow.

Prepare to Be Shocked

Prepare to be shocked. If you are a stitcher or finisher in the New Orleans area, keep an eye out. Sounds like a fellow stitcher took these.
