May meeting announcement! It’s not a regular meeting, it’s a making meeting. We have all the materials — we just need you!

To prep for our community quilt activity at Pride @ the Chrysler in June, we need to glue a floppity jillion EPP squares. And we need your help to do it!

At our May meeting, come prepared to grab some paper and fabric squares and get your glue on. Never made EPP shapes before? We got you covered—you’ll be a pro in no time.

We’ll see you on Saturday, May 17, from 10am-12pm at Jordan-Newby Library, 2nd floor.

This Sunday, join us for our first Hand Stitch Happy Hour! We'll be at Maker's Craft Brewery from 4-6pm, rain or shine. Come chat with fellow sewists, make new friends, and do a bit of sewing.

Don't do a lot of hand sewing? That's okay! We'll have EPP kits available so you can stretch those muscles or learn a new skill.

Look for our sign and our fabric flag, and we hope to see you there!
