The Friday night "Meet and Greet" is always like a wild zoo as store owners feast on the designer's new offerings.

We have loaded up a table with all the new and cool items from Nashville. Lots of new linen, new charts, new floss colors, and fun and whimsical accessories. It's moving out the door fast, so come on in and check it out!

Barbara listens while Gloria Moore from MiLady's Needle discusses her new charts.

The new Hawk Run chart is here, but if you want it, better come quick, we already have several special orders for it.

Barbara mugs for the camera along with Sharon Crescent of Crescent Colors.

Black Bird Designs never fails to delight, with fun and whimsical projects for your stitching pleasure. Check out their new "Cup Cake" line. (yes, of course we brought some back with us)

Barbara gets her picture taken with Alma from Black Bird Designs

What would we do if Just Another Button Company really was "just another button co" and didn't put out thousands of fun attachments for us?

Here we see their suite, never lacking for customers.

The Embassy Suites was packed with designers, here we see a variety of their banners.

Here she is again checking out new Ackworth designs from The Marking Sampler.

One of the vendors brought some fantastic antique linen from Europe. This linen was handed down through multiple generations from a time when a bride's dowry included fine linen.

The world may have forgotten about linen, but stitchers have not, so we brought some home for you to treasure. Barbara is planning a special project for this linen.

Look at how beautiful this antique linen is!

Speaking of linen, no trip to the Nashville Market would be complete with out some new yards by R & R Fabrics.

In the same light, we always bring back some new scissors.
