2015 Stitch-in-Public Day Recap

On Saturday, February 21st, a group of hearty chapter members and several guests participated in our annual Stitch-in-Public Day, this year held at the Lake County Library in Merrillville, Indiana.

We had lovely projects from our members

being displayed all month at the library.

Here are some close-ups to better see the stitching...

Inside the room we used,

there was a table with NANI literature

and some precious small projects stitched by members.

We also had a table with embroidery books

for our guests' perusal.

Here are some of our participants,

happily stitching on their latest projects

in our well-lit space.

The weather cooperated

(it didn't snow)

and a good time was had by all!

Two Important February Dates

Two important dates are coming up in February.

Flowers from my Needle Workshop

Our February 4, 2014 meeting is the deadline to sign up for Flowers from my Needle, our Spring workshop/luncheon.  The NANI and Waterfall Glen Chapters of the EGA are sponsoring this event, which will take place at Olympia Fields Country Club on May 3, 2014.  The fee is $84, which includes the canvaswork kit, workshop, a continental breakfast and buffet luncheon.  An optional wooden box to display the piece is $40.

This is the From Nancy's Needle design that we will be stitching, taught by Nancy herself.

This is the autumn colorway.

Our second important February date is Saturday, February 15, 2014:  Stitch-in-Public Day.  We will be at the Dyer-Schererville Branch of the Lake County (IN) Public Library, 1001 W. Lincoln Highway, Schererville from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.  Set-up is 9:00 a.m.  Come for an hour or stay all day long!  This is a fun stitch-in which we share with the public.  Hope to see you there.
