TNNA Phoenix! Here I come!

Hurricane Erik is expected to reach Phoenix, Arizona the end of January! 

I am very excited to be one of four winners of a Scholarship from the Counted Thread and Embroidery group of TNNA (The National Needleart Association). What this means is I get to attend a big show/market this January in Phoenix. It is a huge honor and...to be honest...I am SCARED!

It is amazing to me. I am looking forward to meeting all the great shop owners and companies who I have spoken with in the past year and all the new people I will meet too.

If you can't tell...I am still in shock. Ever since I started designing I have wanted to attend a TNNA market. Without this scholarship it would've been years before I would've been able to go.

So, thank you everyone for sharing my designs with others and spreading the word!

  3. Erik,

    You will have a great time. I had hoped to make this one too, but due to school commitments, I won't be able to. Don't be scared...its a great experience and a wonderful way to make new connections, and meet with others that you've always known the voice but never met!
