World Needlework Convention | Hawaii 2021

It’s no secret that at Inspirations Studios we’re all about publishing the world’s most beautiful needlework. It’s also no secret that at Needlework Tours, run by Simon and Maureen Laughlin, they’re all about taking people who love needlework to some of the most beautiful locations in the world to stitch.

Imagine what would happen if both companies partnered to take some of the world’s most beautiful needlework to some of the world’s most beautiful places in the world, and you could join them?!

In 2021 that’s exactly what’s happening, and it’s called the World Needlework Convention.

We’d love you to be part of history as together we meet in Hawaii for the inaugural World Needlework Convention 25th April to 3rd May 2021.

What can you expect?

Hosted over 9 wonderful days and based out of the fabulous 5-star Prince Hotel in beautiful downtown Waikiki, this will be a truly special event. Needlework Tours are bringing together some of the best tutors from around the world to teach exquisite projects in this exquisite location.

By day we stitch and learn, by night we are treated to presentations by needlework super stars like Michele Carragher, head embroiderer from Game of Thrones, Margaret Lee, ambassador for traditional Chinese & Japanese Embroidery and Fiona Wemyss, authority on historic Scottish & English embroidery.
