For more information on the annual seminar and where it will be held next year, here is a link to the schedule posted on the EGA website. The brochure for the 2008 seminar is a blast to look at (gorgeous pictures), and someone snuck in a reference to a Peter Paul & Mary song. People after my own heart.
Sadly, the registration for this year has already closed, but for those of you who are already there, Heimerdinger Cutlery will be there, too! I bet you were wondering why I was posting this, weren't you?
On September 3rd (Wednesday), Carl will be at the Merchandise event, from 11 to 7. It will be held in the Golden Galleria. Carl will have some old stand-bys and some brand new products with him to the event. In particular some particularly attractive embroidery scissors from Dovo. I'd love to link you a picture, but they're so new we don't have them on the website yet!
Of potential interest to everyone in the audience is the EGA's National Stitch-In-Public Day, also on Sept. 3rd. Here's the official story:
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 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.
Time for me to break out my cross stitch!
(By the way, did anyone else ever think that the saying "A stitch in time saves nine" had something to do with time travel? No? OK, too much Science-Fiction for me as a small child.)
