Because of Nashville prep and then the Pajama Party, Book Club is taking a break cuz there just isn’t reading time. 😀 Next gathering May 20 cuz April 15 could be a busy day for some. 😀 Will post upcoming books in the next newsletter.
SUNDAY STITCH NITES
Dang snow! Cost us a time to be together in mid-January! Next Stitch Nite is Sunday, Feb. 1, 4:30-8PM. If you’re previously registered and your plans have changed, please let me know sooner rather than later. Let’s hope the snow doesn’t cause another cancellation!
Wanna join going forward? Would LOVE for you to. It’s a great way to meet fellow stitchers, make new friends and surround yourself with goodness! You can register in advance. Just let me know to add you on which dates to make sure you have a seat at the table.
No fee, but registration is required so we ensure there are seats for all. We set up differently depending on how many are coming. There’s room at the table. Let me know if we’re setting a place for you. 🙂
2026 Stitch Nites – Feb. 15, Mar. 1, Mar. 29 (changed cuz of the Pajama Party), Apr. 19, May 3, May 17, June 7, June 21, July 12 (one week later cuz of Fourth of July), July 19, Aug. 2, Aug. 16, Sept. 13 (on week later cuz of Labor Day), Sept. 20, Oct. 4, Oct. 18, Nov. 1, Nov. 15, Dec. 6 (final for the year)
