Sit and Stitch

Join us as we share time to stitch and chat from our own homes via Zoom. These get togethers are held on Wednesday evenings from 6:00 – 7:30 every two weeks. Contact us if you wish to participate.

Special Interest Groups

These online groups have been developed to educate and encourage stitchers who are interested in a particular type of stitching or project. To participate, contact us.

Peppermint Purple

This group of stitchers began participating in this blackwork stitch-a-long via Zoom meetings early in 2021. For more information about Peppermint Purple and blackwork, follow this link. Stitch-a-longs are great fun as they are completed one small piece at a time throughout a year. This link will show you how our stitchers used a variety of colors, threads, and borders in 2021. For 2022, some of us are continuing with this project, while others are branching out and participating in other stitch-a-longs.

Coming soon…

Check back to find out about a new group forming during 2022. Members will be focusing on goldwork.
