Hmm - my friend Susan of Contoocook Needleworks is there. Want her email?
Cheryl
Not unless she can get me in....
If I had had a bit of notice, I surely would have seen if she'd let you tag along. Susan is a former RCTN'r.
Cheryl
oh well. maybe next time. THanks though!
Usuaully for the trade shows you have to be listed with the trade attendee in advance. Shops generally supply a list up front of who will be coming and what their role is (shop asst, manager, owner, buyer, etc). For those showing, you have to list who will be there as part of your contingent. Not that people can't register on site - that does happen, but you must have the TNNA member with you to register you. Retail shops are TNNA associate members, and pay a much smaller fee - as the designers, manufacturers wish to sell to them. Those showing have a different membership category - but a lot of designers that show at TNNA bring friends from shops, etc to help them out. That's really a good way to go.

So maybe Susan will bring me next year! LOL
My favourite on-line enabling source, Traditional Stitches, tantalized me with a few of the things she was bringing back from St. Charles. So far, I have only bought two Plum Street Samplers charts.

I kind of want "Gather Ye Rosebuds". I think I saw one other I sort of want, but nothing that made be go "WOW - I GOTTA".

I am sure that Gather Ye Rosebuds is a reprint or another company acquiring some previous designs, 'cause I am sure it is in my stash from years and years ago. I ordered Heaven Gave Rain because I am intrigued by the big diamond shaped raindrops, and Paradise Lost because of all the creatures with Adam and Eve. I don't have a good Adam and Eve sampler, and it is pretty much a sampler basis--anyway, that's the story I'm sticking with.

Oh good - I could have sworn I'd seen it before, but then again, my memory ain't what it was....
CI was trying to find out which Gather Ye Rosebuds you were looking at. I am sure this is not it, but I really, really like it!
Hadn't seen that one - this is the one that seems familiar
IIRC there was a pair of designs, the one with the man that we have been looking at, and a paired design of a woman facing the other direction. The colours in the picture look pinker than the ones on the old one I have.
