September 3, National Stitch-In-Public Day EGA invites stitchers of all ages and skill levels to join in a day of community crafting that will celebrate the traditions and trends of needlework, right right where they are. There's no cost - just an effort to encourage community among stitchers. Embroiders, quilters, knitters and who [sic] will shine a light on their crafts Sept. 3 by stitching together in public spaces such as coffee shops, parks, malls – anywhere they can be seen. Let EGA Headquarters know about your event so photos, stories and updates can be shared online. Contact Brad at bcape@egausa.org if your chapter or group of stitchers wants to organize an event. Call (502) 589-6956.
I've e-mailed the "Philadelphia" chapter of the EGA (located in Devon, about 24 miles from Phillie) to see what they are up to. If they don't have big plans, I was thinking we southeastern Pennsylvanians should squat at the King of Prussia mall. Who's in?
Tonight, I'll be at the Philadelphia Stitch n Pitch with my Fair and Square project and LHN's Dog House Sampler. But we're supposed to be in for massive thunderstorms. Which will probably happen since the last time I went to Citizen's Bank Park there was a 2.5 hour rain delay...
PS My computer at home won't let us log in for some reason. So I couldn't upload my doll photo. I've poked and prodded my work computer but there's no place for the camera's memory card. So no pictures. Dollhouse Tuesday will have to be postponed.

National Stitch-In-Public Day is penned on my calendar. Sad thing is I just looked on the site for my local chapter and they say ablsolutely nothing about this event. So I will be off to check a few other groups and especially my lns! Thx for the news
Take care -- we had the rain, storms, tornado weather last night. Yukky storm. No damage at our home. Lots of damage in other nearby communities.
No Stitch-n-Pitch for me this year. Bummer. I'll be stitching at home watching the game, though.
I love reading your blog - I've been enjoying your frequent postings, keep it up!
Sounds good to me, but stitching in public is something I do anyway :o) In fact, I did some last night - and showed my incompetence with double pointed needles to the world in the pub ...
I'm looking into the Dallas EGA, again (no response last time I inquired), but I did join another guild last night!!
Count me in. KOP is a relatively short drive for me, so barring anything unforseen, I'd join you for some public stitching.
Hi Anna, I live in Abington, PA- I would love to meet up with you at King of Prussia! Thanks for letting us know about this. I stitch in public - I ride the R3 several times a week and usually have a stitching project with me!
here is my email, in case you do organize this event: rachelvendsel at yahoo dot com
