Sunday Sip & Stitch
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!

Sunday Sip & Stitch
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!

Morning Book Club
Join us the third Friday of each month for a morning book club at the library.
Please note the January Morning Book Club has been moved to the 4th Friday - January 23rd.
----About this month's book selection----
The Briar Club by Kate Quinn
from Goodreads:
A haunting and powerful story of female friendships and secrets in a Washington, D.C. boardinghouse during the McCarthy era.
Washington, D.C., 1950. Everyone keeps to themselves at Briarwood House, a down-at-the-heels all-female boardinghouse in the heart of the nation’s capital, where secrets hide behind white picket fences. But when the lovely, mysterious widow Grace March moves into the attic, she draws her oddball collection of neighbors into unlikely friendship: poised English beauty Fliss whose facade of perfect wife and mother covers gaping inner wounds; police officer’s daughter Nora, who is entangled with a shadowy gangster; frustrated baseball star Bea, whose career has ended along with the women’s baseball league of WWII; and poisonous, gung-ho Arlene, who has thrown herself into McCarthy’s Red Scare.
Grace’s weekly attic-room dinner parties and window-brewed sun tea become a healing balm on all their lives, but she hides a terrible secret of her own. When a shocking act of violence tears apart the house, the Briar Club women must decide once and for all: Who is the true enemy in their midst?
Capturing the paranoia of the McCarthy era and evoking the changing roles for women in postwar America, The Briar Club is an intimate and thrilling novel of secrets and loyalty put to the test.
