Amble Pin Cushion wins award - but needs your vote for inaugural CraftWorld Stitch Industry Awards

This follows on from their success in the competition in 2020, 2021-22 and 2022-23.

Owner, Norma Arthur, said: “For a shop in Amble to be the regional winner in a national competition for the past four years is quite something.

"That this reward goes to a small craft shop in a quiet seaside town in Northumberland is absolutely remarkable!”

Building on their success, the team are hopeful that customers will now want to celebrate their creativity, dedication and innovation, by putting Amble Pin Cushion forward for the inaugural CraftWorld Stitch Industry Awards. Nominations close on Tuesday, October 24.

The awards have been introduced to “applaud the brands, influencers, products and tools that have truly captured creative hearts.” CraftWorld want to create a shortlist of nominees centred around public votes.
