Every year we celebrate fibre crafts by stitching in public during the Stampede in Calgary. Join us at the BMO centre on Monday and view all the great work submitted to the Western Showcase Art Show. On the last weekend of Stampede we have volunteers at the Heritage Cabin stitching on the porch and inside. Learn more about the Summer Kitchen from Stampede Volunteers and see what we are all working on.

WIPGO
Work In Progress Bingo
WIPGO is a fun way to break down large projects into bite size pieces you can work on a month at a time!
You don't need to complete any piece completely just make progress and move forward with your stitching.
Each square is part of a project, examples can be ... complete the border, finish a motif, do the outline etc. It can also be a stitching related activity, like listen to a podcast about stitching, clean up your craft space, teach friend about cross stitch.
Each Month our group calls 2 numbers and these are the projects you work on!
... but there are no rules!
* You change change the blocks at any time
* You can work on any block each month
* You can work ahead if you get your monthly squares done
Have Fun & Continue Stitching until December 2022.
We will be doing a MEGA show & tell in January 2023
