The h+h americas 2026 recaps are rolling in and we are here for them!

who blogs under One Stitch At A Time shared her highlights in a recent post. She's attended for the last 4 years, so she has seen firsthand how h+h americas has evolved and expanded to include and represent all corners of the craft industry.

Some of her takeaways include:

🪡 Hand-stitching products had a greater footprint this year
🧶 There was so much to see that even with an itinerary, some booths were missed
🪡 Browsing the vendors on the website pre-show and approaching the show with a list gave her an easy guide and path through the show
🧶 Visiting booths is a great way to learn about to new products, but through conversations with vendors you can also learn new ways to use products you already stock
🪡 Attending a trade show like h+h americas several years in a row can give you an excellent runway for learning and experiencing products before purchasing them for your business

Claudia came away with so many great insights from the show—read her post to learn more and see all of her great photos: page.fo/snuggly
