Curtain

The Fall Needlecraft Show in St. Charles/St. Louis has ended. We packed up the Jeep Cherokee and are about halfway home, spending the night in Zanesville, OH. We arrive back in NYC tomorrow evening.

We are tired, but happy. It's always exciting to visit with other vendors and our customers. Also, since we are first and foremost stitchers, we also love discovering the latest designs and finding new shops to explore ourselves!

We especially had fun laughing and chatting with our shop owner customers. Naming just a very few who stopped by our suite:

Lois of Nedlewerkes in Copperas Cove, TX. Lois told us about the group of German ladies who are stitching our German Sampler Series. We'd love to see pictures!


The ladies from Chris's Collection in Southwick, MA. This is a shop I've spent many a dollar at, even before I became a designer. They were intent on finding new projects for their sampler group. We were happy to provide some suggesitons.


Cathy from Inspired Needle in Lemont, IL gave us the opportunity to try out our new credit card processing. It worked like a charm, thank goodness.


It was a good show and we want to thank all the shops that came, saw and shopped!

Open For Business!

We're at the TNNA Fall Needlecraft Market in St. Charles/St. Louis, MO. Here are a couple of photos of our suite.



If you are wondering how all these models and display fixtures made it to Missouri from NYC, the answer is a two day drive! Cynthia and I rented an SUV, loaded it up and started driving west at 10:15 AM on September 22. After crossing 7 states, we crossed the Mississippi and arrived in Missouri at about 6:30 PM on September 23rd. It was a long drive!

Our new design being released at this show is The Queen's Garden, the next entry in our German Sampler Series. I'll have more on that piece in a later post.

If you are shopping this wholesale only market, stop in Suite 728 and see us!
