Needlepoint Shop Day is September 20

Support your local needlepoint shop! We need them to stay in business and to continue bringing fabulous threads, designs, and classes to stitchers.

If you have a local needlepoint shop, we encourage you to visit them frequently, but especially on September 20, 2018. This day has been set aside for special promotions, events, and excitement to bring awareness to independent needlepoint shops. Do you know that many people have no idea independent needlework shops exist...all they know are chain stores. Let's show them how much indie shops have to offer. Shop owners are passionate about stitching just like you are, and offer a space filled with ideas, inspiration, and supplies for your next fabulous project.

This is the first year for this "needlepoint shop day" and we hope it grows every year. There is a Facebook group posting events happening around the country. If you are a cross stitcher or an embroiderer, don't let the name keep you away: needlepoint shops carry threads, accessories and many items you can use in your stitching techniques too.

Visit https://www.facebook.com/groups/1695077600576608/about/ for more information about Local Needlepoint Shop Day 2018. Help us spread the word too. Share with your stitching friends all over the world. Many shops sell online via their websites, and this supports "local" shops if you don't have one in your town.

Speaking of shopping, the Kreinik crew is heading to Dallas, Texas, this week for the Destination Dallas Needlepoint Trade Show. If you are a needlework shop, teacher, or designer, come by the Kreinik room to see what's new. Businesses can get more info on the show at http://destinationdallasmarket.com/marketinfo.html
