----About this month's book selection----

Still Life by Louise Penny

from Goodreads:

The discovery of a dead body in the woods on Thanksgiving Weekend brings Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and his colleagues from the Surete du Quebec to a small village in the Eastern Townships. Gamache cannot understand why anyone would want to deliberately kill well-loved artist Jane Neal, especially any of the residents of Three Pines - a place so free from crime it doesn't even have its own police force.

But Gamache knows that evil is lurking somewhere behind the white picket fences and that, if he watches closely enough, Three Pines will start to give up its dark secrets...

Welcome to Sunday Sip & Stitch!

Registration required - register here!

Sewing is so much more fun (see what I did there?!) shared with others! Join us once a month on Sunday morning for a quilt-along, or just open sew if quilting isn't for you. We'll enjoy coffee or tea while we work our way through a pre-selected quilt pattern in the company of other amazing sewists. If quilting isn't your jam, grab your W.I.P (work in progress) and hang out with us while we fill our metaphorical cups with crafts and out literal cups with coffee.

Feel free to stay the entire time or come and go as you please.

Please note that this is NOT a quilting class. Our events do not include instruction but we are happy to offer advice and assist with troubleshooting or decision making!

Attendees will need to bring their own sewing machine, notions and materials for quilting. We will have communal pressing and cutting areas (but feel free to bring a tabletop mat and iron and your own cutting mat if you'd like) and a selection of scrap cotton.

Tiffany, our co-host, was gracious enough to create a spreadsheet of the needed fabrics (there are a lot of colors in this quilt) with a fat quarter conversion so you can get a feel for how much of each color you need. If you'd like a copy of that spreadsheet just shoot me or Tiffany a message and we'll get it to you!

If quilting is not your thing, or if this pattern doesn't tickle your fancy - please feel free to come and work on whatever your heart desires. Our intent is to create a welcoming, collaborative, communal sewing space for anyone interested.

Sewing can be a solitary hobby, but it doesn't have to be!

Do you love to craft? Do you also love to watch movies while you craft? Then you have found your people. We are a group of craft enthusiasts who get together to enjoy our hobbies, watch a great movie, eat some snacks, and perhaps do a little socializing. I'm sure your couch/chair is very, very comfortable, but why not spend a few hours on a different couch/chair and share space with the best folks on the planet, CRAFTERS!

October movie is Practial Magic.
