Stitch N’ Pitch, Jacksonville Suns
Local Shops in the Jacksonville, FL area teamed up with the Jacksonville Suns for the area’s first ever Stitch N’ Pitch!
The Suns were matched up against the Carolina Mudcats and although the game was a loss, it was still a win for stitchers. AND…we learned that a mudcat is a catfish that lives in muddy water (I’m not so sure I’d name a team after that tho).
Like any good Stitch N’ Pitch, goody bags are a requirement!
L to R: Sharon (Hanks Yarn & Fiber) April, Kaycee (fans of The Local Needle)
Not only would we like to thank the Baker County Chamber of Commerce for letting us use their facilities, we’d also like to thank the following businesses for contributing to our local Stitch N’ Pitch event:
A Stitch In Time Country Crossroads Quilt Shop Eucalan Fran’s Knitting Boutique Gloves In A Bottle Hanks Yarn $ Fiber Plastique Recreations Rocket Yarn The Local Needle YarnworksIt was a breezy, warm and rainy day at the park and it was all we could do to stay dry. However, with the tarp in place and the game delayed, we were able to get in a little more knitting time!
1/2 the group
- and…the other 1/2 of the group
- Beetlejuice casting on for…perhaps next year’s garment?
The NeedleArts Mentoring Program (NAMP) will be receiving upward of $150.00 from this event – well done everyone!
Our goal for next year is to have it earlier in the Season (hoping for April!), set back under cover a bit more (in case it’s another rainy day) and to double the number that attend!
Thanks to everyone that participated and attended!
