Dateline Kansas City.
Errr. No. Correction. Everything is not up-to-date in Kansas City. Far from it. The cities crumbling infrastructure, it's estimated 2.5 billion dollars in deferred maintenance, its public art even is in danger of crashing down around us. To help save the city from itself, a dedicated group of needle artists, in town for last week's Stitch and Pitch, banded together to mend the city. Using extremely large needles and thread they quietly wove their way through the city basting, knitting, pearling and pitching a helluva stitch all about town. The result. A fix to soothe our ravaged souls, mend our hearts, and keep us standling tall for at least a while longer. Silk is strong, friends. Stronger than steel and a lot more wearable unless your first name is Super.
