Applique Getaway

This is not the post that I ever wanted to make, but I need to make it.

Due to low vendor attendance, AG2026 has been cancelled. Please know that this decision was not taken lightly, and it completely breaks my heart to cancel the event.

Please know --- this is NOT the end of AG. We are picking back up, regrouping, and already looking at plans for AG2027. While we hope to stay in Texas, this is not definite. We are looking at various venues in Texas as well as the Midwest. We WILL BE BACK!! 💙

For now, we are planning Virtual Getaway, September 12 - December 31. We will host the Getaway on a separate, private platform (I learned from 2024 Virtual Getaway mistakes 🥰), with lots of new projects and live demos!

Please know that we love each and every one of you, and we hope to "see" you at the Virtual Getaway, AND next summer at AG2027!!

Happy Stitching, everyone!
XOXO Wendy

If you have ever been to Applique Getaway before, you know how much there is to buy!! If you travel by plane, or even by car, sometimes you have to "hold back" on those show deals because you have limited space. Well ... we are excited to announce that we will have a SHPPING STATION at AG2026!! It will be located next to our registration desk, where there will be boxes of various sizes for you to purchase (at the lowest price possible), packing tape, a laptop, as well as label printer. We will use Pirate Ship, and will have a pickup scheduled for Monday morning (I will be there until Monday evening).

If you have never used Pirate Ship, Carly will be there to help! Once your goodies are packed and a label is printed, the box will go into my locked office until Monday morning, when I will put them all on carts, ready to be picked up!

I wish this existed when I flew from Alaska to the Fort Worth show years ago! I would have definitely shipped a box or two, or maybe three!🤣

Just another addition to AG2026!! We hope to see you in July! Registration is scheduled to open on Saturday, March 28.

Happy Stitching!

Y'all! We have been "iced" in for almost a week! I'm going crazy! I am so excited for this AG2026 -- FUN IN THE SUN!!!

Quick question -- are you coming? If you are, are you coming solo or with a group? I just love seeing folks gather together at AG, forming new friendships, while also strengthening those that already exist.

Can't wait to see you all! AND... whoever sent the ice to Arkansas -- you can have it back now!!🤣😂

❄️🥶Good morning and Happy Saturday!❄️🥶

With the winter weather rolling into Arkansas (and every other state from New Mexico to Maine), we hope everyone stays safe and warm.

As for me, I’m going to spend my time today sitting in front of the fireplace drinking ☕️ and working on transferring orders to customer accounts on the SNS website as well as updating our AG website. The power continues to flicker on and off, so no embroidery work for me today.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, and as always, Happy Stitching!!
