TNNA Preview Promenade
The National NeedleArts Association Trade Show - Winter 2007
A special preview of what and where to look for Jackie E-S and HeartStrings knitting patterns at the upcoming Needlearts Trade Show in San Diego.
The TNNA Winter Trade Show is just around the corner! I've got my calendar marked for January 13 - 15, 2007 at the San Diego Convention Center. The 2007 winter show is earlier in January than usual, so it has me juggling holiday activities with show prep.
My count-down of days remaining before heading out to California has already begun. Meantime, I am working through the holidays to complete new designs for the January release that will be unveiled at the show. There are more lovely lace stole and shawl patterns in the works that I think will delight you and your customers. Without giving away too much, I'll try to sneak in a little bit about these on my new Taking Time to Smell the Roses blog as we get nearer the show.

Stop by the new Teacher Display Area
Looking for teachers for your shop? I will be participating in the new Teacher Display area in the lobby of the Convention Center.

I will have my portfolio, class information, and sample handouts/workbooks available for you to view. You can pick up a teaching brochure if you'd like to contact me later.

Offered at Silent Auction from HeartStrings
The TNNA Yarn Group will again sponsor a silent auction of knitted/crocheted garments and accessories. The auction is held on the show floor during show hours on Saturday and Sunday through 1 pm, at which time the item is awarded to the highest bidder. Proceeds help sponsor ongoing Yarn Group efforts such as knit-out events and other consumer awareness projects.

I've donated a brand new model of Bella's Beads Cloche to be auctioned. The hat is a lovely pearl gray wool/mohair and lavender mix of glass beads. It is similar in styling to the one showcased by Fire Mountain Gems in last October's Knit 'n Style full-page ad on page 7. The HeartStrings pattern for both versions is available as publication #KH02 Bella's Beads Cloche. The hat in the auction is the Beaded Purl Circles version.
|
I hope you will consider bidding on Bella's Beads and other items in the silent auction. You can treat yourself or get a new shop model, and be benefiting a good cause at the same time.
Appointments - I am available to meet with you
I'll be attending the show in support of my distributors and available within calling distance on the show floor throughout the weekend. If you would like to arrange an appointment for one-on-one help to select patterns, to discuss additional ways to promote HeartStrings patterns, or whatever, just let me know. I will be available in San Diego for appointments January 10 - 15 (Wednesday - Monday).
