Back home from an exciting TNNA/Columbus Market and teaching at
What's The Point? Needlepoint in Dublin, OH.
Step with me into the Way-Back Machine as I recap this wonderful experience...
Most of my time was spent working in the NeedleDeeva booth. Here is what the
Fab Firs looked like all together. The 6-foot Fab Firs banner was a nice beacon to draw people towards them.

I really enjoyed seeing the artwork by Lisa Krause from Deuxbijouxbijoux. Lisa lives in Arkansas with her husband, Jim, and designs hand-painted frames to coordinate with the Maggie Co and Ewe & Eye canvases. Just look at this frame for Sheep Quilt. I love it. Your local needlepoint shop can order these.

One of those dry eraser boards was brought in for my demonstrations and illustrations. A picture is worth 1,000 words, right?
Early plans were also made with some designers and shop owners for future stitching and teaching events. I will keep you in the loop as those materialize. Perhaps you could join me? Here's the schedule for the next upcoming markets. Whew! Who knew the needlepoint industry worked at such a fast pace?
On Monday afternoon, the Market came to an end... and it was time to pack up the NeedleDeeva booth. Soon after that, I was whisked away for my teaching of the Sunflower and Berries (ND 309) canvas at What's The Point? Needlepoint.
Sounds like a good stopping point for now. Next time we will pick up from here... Until then...
Hugs, Robin
You are amazing! What a schedule. Someday hopefully I will be able to take one of your classes. I have ordered the sunflower and berries canvas and your stitch guide. Looking forward to receiving it and get it started!!
