Stitching on the Rio Grande

This blog is dedicated to the use of stitchers along the eastern Rio Grande Valley. We invite you to discuss your projects, ask questions, compare progress, announce new opportunities, and post your photos. Above all this should be a way to communicate and have fun.

Stitch in Public Day

Tip of Texas chapter of EGA was well-represented at the Winter Outdoor and Wildlife Expo at the SPI Convention Center yesterday (2/6/10). Coincidentally, this was the same date as the National EGA Stitch in Public celebration,

Sponsored by St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Port Isabel, we had two tables in the exhibit area and Marge Bhagat, Jewett Powers and Judi Prukop joined me in stitching and visiting with the approximately 2,000+ (this figure is based on last year's amount) visitors to the event.

Judi, a member of our chapter, came to represent the Fronteria Quilt Guild as well. We were also joined by Mary Austin, a member of the church's Prayer Shawl Knitters. Our goal was to share the love of using needles and fibers in a variety of ways. Think that was accomplished.
