Going to Seminar? UPDATED

The American Needlepoint Guild's 2012 Seminar is going to be held in Philadelphia August 24-31. If you haven't drooled over the classes offered, here's a list.

Remember, there are plenty of drop in events like the bookstore, the exhibit, the Auction and more that anyone can visit, whether you have the time to register and take classes.

The area shops are getting ready to greet you and tempt you with all sorts of goodies to remember the event by.  Here is some of what Fireside Stitchery is going to do.

UPDATE:  Fireside is partnering with the makers of Mag Friends to have Philly-themed magnets for you to pick up as souvenirs at Seminar.

Fireside's website has all sorts of information for Seminar goers.

I've heard that Stitch Haus (which is about a 15 minute drive from Fireside) is a great place to shop, even though their website is uninspiring.  Better visit both while you can!

And of course you don't want to miss Nimble Needle!

Also Rittenhouse Needlepoint. They are the host shop for the Seminar Boutique, as well as their store in the city. They are having lots of trunk shows. http://rittenhouseneedlepoint.com

Duh. Silly me. Of course I knew they were at the hotel, so I forgot to add their shop.
