Last weekend we had the pleasure of attending the Atlanta Spring Needlepoint Show in Atlanta, Georgia. We look forward to attending the show every year with a lot of anticipation and excitement. It’s such a great opportunity to connect with friends and the Planet Earth Fiber extended needlepoint family. But, we know that not everyone has the chance to attend, especially as it’s a wholesale trade show. That leaves out a lot of our fans!
So today we wanted to share a little sneak peek at some of the fun products we saw. First, here are a few products we brought to the show that went really quickly. If you see a Planet Earth Fiber product you love here, don’t forget to talk to your LNS. They might have the product in stock, or may be able to request it from us. Find your Local Needlepoint Shop here.
These Planet Earth Fiber Butterfly Zip Wallets are so cute for spring and summer. We brought them to the show and they were some of the first to flutter off to their new homes at needlepoint stores across the country.
This is the Flower version of the Zip Wallet, which comes as a kit with fiber, canvas, wallet, and storage bag.
More versions of the Zip Wallet kit, including a Lime/Hot Pink variant of the Flower Wallet and a Heart version.
Here are some cute ornament projects we saw on display at the show. Love the fluffy tails on the horse ornament, and the personalized penguin onesie.
Needlepoint To Go used Pepper Pot Silk in this adorable Sea La Vie pillow and fetching Snow Leopard Clutch.
We were blown away by this gorgeous chair from Colors of Praise. It was definitely the showstopper. It was available to bid on through silent auction at the show and was stitched using Waverly Wool from Brown Sheep Company. We’re jealous of whoever won that auction!
We sold a lot of Planet Earth Fiber fabric zipper pouches at the show. These are really useful for storing all your notions—the clear side makes it easy to see everything at a glance. Plus, with all the different fabrics, it’s fun to find one that fits your style and personality.
We also brought our Self-Finishing Eyeglass Cases and Flask Covers, exclusive products we produced for KC Needlepoint, which are perfect for showcasing a little bit of canvas work.
The Flask Covers would make really nice bridesmaid or groomsmen gifts, or adult party favors.
Some Planet Earth Fiber Passport Canvases on display here. Note the Self-Finishing Passports in the upper left corner. Love that peeking kitty canvas!
Here is an adorable mermaid needlepointed with Planet Earth Ply Silk. The Snow Leopard Pillow uses Pepper Pot Silk.
We found some old friends sporting their well-loved Planet Earth Fiber Snap Wallets. Seeing these out in the wild always makes our day! We’re really proud of how our leather products stand the test of time. They develop that gorgeous patina and unique personality that only happens with natural leather.
Finally, every retailer who made a purchase with Planet Earth Fibers carried home their products in one of our Planet Earth Fiber tote bags featuring Planet Earth Silk!
All in all, we had a fabulous time reconnecting with old friends and fostering new relationships. We’ll be sharing other fun projects we saw at the show on our social media channels—be sure to follow us for more!
