BLUEBIRD & BLOSSOMS🌸
If you’re familiar with the cross stitch world, you know that the big buzz these days is the Nashville Needlework Market happening in early March. This market, exclusively for wholesale retailers, is the largest needlework trade show in the industry.
Right now, designers are revealing all their new (gorgeous!) releases and retailers are taking preorders from stitchers across North America (and beyond).
I would be lying if I said that I didn’t feel a little bit of FOMO. Every year, I wonder if Pigeon Coop should participate in this show. It would be a great way for a Canadian designer like myself to meet retailers and get new sets of eyes of my designs. The cross stitch industry is much more developed in the US. However, I once again decided against applying this year due to the complicated Canada-USA trade relations.
But it doesn’t mean I can’t participate in the frenzy in my own way! I will be releasing a few new designs in March, starting with this one called ‘Bluebird and Blossoms’.
If you’re interested in stitching this cute feathery friend, the digital pattern will be available as of March 1st. If you prefer printed charts, ask your local needlework shop to get in touch with me! All my designs are available in printed formats through local shops.
If you own a needlework shop and haven’t started carrying Pigeon Coop printed patterns, what are you waiting for?! Open up your wholesale account today by getting in touch with me! FYI, printed patterns ship from Canada to the US tarif-free!✌️
