Billy, the Goat of Many Colors

May 16, 2014 By Fix-A-Stitch

One of the things that I really loved at The National NeedleArts Association’s recent Summer Trade Show was a yarn sculpture by Tisha Thompson (Tisha Handmade) of Mill Valley, CA.

This is Billy, the Goat of Many Colors, and the yarns used are from Be Sweet. Tisha gives a behind-the-scenes peek at how he was made here.

I wanted to buy him (if Tisha would even part with him!), but there is just no place for him in my home. It is as large as one of my Great Dane dogs!

Meet our TNNA booth neighbor, Chic-a!

February 17, 2014 By Fix-A-Stitch

At the recent The National NeedleArts Association (TNNA) show in San Diego, we had the good fortune to be exhibitor neighbors with Jay and Joanna Reyes, the proprietors of Chic-a.

According to their website, “Chic-a was founded in 2007, when Joanna Reyes realized there had to be a better solution to storing ongoing knitting and crochet projects. Ziploc bags kept breaking, and the designs of existing bags were impractical for knitting and crochet. What she wanted was a knitting project bag that would last for many projects, would be practical, and yet be fun to carry around. Using her many years of sewing experience she designed and crafted the Quick Draw Project Bag. The immediate popularity of this bag confirmed the demand for her fusion of practical and fun. She continued to develop products to meet this demand, and out of this, Chic-a was born.”

We can attest that they’re wonderful people with wonderful products. Their bags can hold your latest yarn projects — and, of course, your Fix-A-Stitch sets!

Here they are setting up the booth.

Doesn’t it look wonderful? So nice of them to incorporate the Fix-A-Stitch pink (I guess it’s Chic-a pink, too)!

Success in San Diego

January 15, 2014 By Fix-A-Stitch

Bonnie and Donna headed to the San Diego Convention Center last weekend to take part in the annual Winter Trade Show put on by The National NeedleArts Association. At their booth, they met with dozens of knit and crochetwear designers, retailers and distributors who either were introduced to the Fix-A-Stitch tool on the spot — or were coming back for more!

Here’s a look back at the weekend through the lens of Bonnie’s camera (and a few through Donna’s camera, too):
