Sponsored by The World of Cross Stitching
15th – 18th September 2005,
NEC, Birmingham
The National Stitch and Creative Needle Crafts Show
is an unmissable treat for those of you who enjoy creating things. Whether you
want to learn about new crafts, are seeking advice from experts in our master
classes or if you are just wanting to shop for new products, bargains and
Christmas presents, the only problem will be fitting it all in.
The National Stitch & Creative Needle Crafts Show covers all aspects of hand and machine knitting, sewing, beading, cross stitching, patchwork, quilting, embroidery, needlepoint, scrap-booking, card making, paper craft, ribbon craft, soft furnishings, crochet and other stitch and creative crafts.
Exhibitors ranging from individual designers and specialists to spinners and manufacturers will be on hand to demonstrate and sell yarns, machines, accessories, patterns, craft materials, literature, kits and lots more. You will be able to see, try, compare and buy all of the latest knit, stitch and creative crafts products under one roof.
A whole series of attractions have been organised to inspire and entertain you
including demonstrations, advice centres, workshops, lectures in the theatres, a
daily fashion show and displays. Experts will be running talks, workshops and
demonstrations on a diverse range of subjects from hand and machine knitting to
card making. A popular feature planned for this year’s show will be the Machine
Knitting Village, sponsored by Machine Knitting Monthly, where famous designers
and experts from the field of machine knitting will be in attendance.
At the show there will be specific workshops and demonstrations linked to the
four major craft titles sponsoring the show - The World of Cross Stitching,
Cardmaking and Papercraft, Cross Stitch Crazy and Cross Stitch Card Shop. The
editors and editorial teams will be on hand every day to meet readers, answer
their questions and share their own tips and tricks.
A Children’s Treasure Hunt will run throughout the show to keep your little ones
entertained and if you are wearing your own creation please come to the
Organisers Office and speak to Irene Krieger - you could receive a Creative
Visitor Award!
