2021 Nashville Needlework Market

Due to our concerns about your health and safety, and the current situation in TN, we have decided to cancel the 2021 Nashville Needlework Market which was scheduled for May 21-23, 2021. We are not planning to do a virtual market nor do a Fall Market. There is too much time involved, and we are not able to pursue those alternatives at this time.

If you submitted a recipe for the 2021 Show Cookbook, it will become a 2022 Show Cookbook instead. As it is exclusively available to exhibitors and stores who attend, this will preserve the stores' ability to promote this special cookbook for their events next year.

We are really going to miss seeing all of you! But we want you to stay safe and healthy, so you can attend the premier wholesale Nashville Needlework Market on a future day. We are working with the hotel to schedule the 2022 Nashville Needlework Market and will make announcements about the next show once details are confirmed.

Pickle Barrel Designs’ recipe and those of many other Exhibitors and Retailers will appear in the 2021 Nashville Needlework Market ‘Happiness Is Homemade’ Cookbook.

What was your favorite toy when you were young?

Share a favorite toy from when you were young. #Nostalgia I always wanted a Snoopy snow cone machine. My husband took this photo when I was trying to talk my kids into getting one so I could play with it. Didn't work.

65 Roses colorways in Harmony

Inspired by actual roses, 65 Roses colorways are limited editions—only blooming once! And new ones will bloom each season. “65 Roses” is a term often used by young children with cystic fibrosis to pronounce the name of their disease. Treenway Silks donates a minimum 10% of sales in honor of Andrea’s angels to help find a cure for cystic fibrosis (CF). Since developing the 65 Roses colorways in 2017, Treenway Silks has donated $500. They hope to double that amount in 2018. The 65 Roses colorways began with ribbons and has expanded to include Harmony, Treenway Silks’ 6-strand silk floss. Free with any purchase of 65 Roses Harmony silk floss, comes “A Rose by Any Other Name” by Claire Hupin-Foreman.  Contact Treenway Silks.
