To market, to market we go! These are just a few more of the hearts by Needle Deeva that I stitched and will be available along with the stitch guides at Sample It Night at the TNNA Market in Phoenix next week. Sample It, really is such a brilliant idea…as it gives the shop owners the ability to purchase some of the newest items and take them right back to their shops with them….instead of anxiously awaiting the mail or UPS deliveries.

Not to worry if you don’t make for Sample It Night. Just stop by Needle Deeva’s booth 2023~2025 anytime during the show and place an order for them. They will be happy to ship them to you with your show orders!

River Silks, beads, Kreinik, Swarovski crystals and silk threads were used to create these hearts. What’s not to love about that? I really do enjoy stitching these, as when the threads and ideas come together at right away, they really are a quick stitch!

The stitched hearts have made the journey to Barbara’s Needlepoint in South Dakota for their special finishing touches! Of course I will be on pins and needles until they are delivered back to my hands in time for their debut next Friday.

Speaking of next Friday, Teem Deeva will be busy setting up the booth, saying our hellos to everybody and trying to get a few sneak peaks of what’s new. It is a fun day filled with allot of hard work that I just love! Robin will be teaching her class for DMC in the afternoon and how cool is that? Wow teaching for DMC, you are now a needlepoint rock star Robin! From completed setup it is onto Sample It Night for an hour of fast and furious shopping. That leads right up to the Galleria, where several designers dress up their newest designs for a sneak peak, surrounded by a little adult beverage and a selection of delicious crudite’s, Southewest Style. It is then time for dinner, laughs and some relaxation time…the highlight of the evening!

I haven’t been doing too much stitching lately, ooh shudder that thought! I have all of my files for the March/April issue of Needlepoint Now sent off to Elizabeth and have been working on the stitch guides for the hearts…3.5 done and 2.5 to go. I have my paper and new print cartridges ready to go.

AlleyCat loves this little feathered ball and was quite playful yesterday! and until next time…keep on stitching
