Historic Fort Worth in Texas is sponsoring the 9th year of A Needle Art Love Story June 9-12.

Aren't in Fort Worth? This year Historic Fort Worth is offering tickets to a Zoom tour. You can either take the tour June 11 as it happens, or view a recording later. (The recording will be available for ticket holders to watch until December 31, 2022.).

Want to pick up one of the heart fund raiser canvases available this year? EyeCandy did the design. These are available in the Fort Worth area. I think the French Knot usually carries them (second link below). They may also be for sale at Historic Fort Worth although they are not mentioned on their website.
