European-wide Quilting in Public Day
(EU-QUiP Day)

Helen Heaney and Marion-Linda Paternostro, president and vice-president of the Austrian Patchwork Guild

In 2005, American knitting enthusiast Danielle Landes had the wonderful idea of encouraging knitters all over the world to leave the comfort of their own homes and to go out and knit in public - and the worldwide knitting in public day was born ( www.wwkipday.com ). 

We would like to join those world-wide knitters in spirit and initiate a parallel event for quilters - the European-wide quilting in public day, which will always take place on the 3rd Saturday in June - that's the 20th of June in 2009. It also happens to be the longest Saturday of the year - so plenty of daylight hours with which to quilt and sew in the open air!  mehr
