Destination Dallas 2017

Destination Dallas is a non-TNNA trade show held each year in Dallas, Texas.  In 2017 the show will be September 9-11 with classes beginning September 8.  The theme will be "Stitching on the Orient Express."  The newest items I find will be at the top of the list.  Browse Facebook postings of more than one photograph using the right and left side arrows.

I will stop posting to this area on December 1 and start posting new items to the January 2018 TNNA show tab.
