The group began when four local stitchers sought a dedicated Saturday gathering free from formal assessments or rigid curricula. They booked a quiet church room, put the kettle on, and invited anyone wrestling with fabric to pull up a wooden chair.
Over twelve years later, our tables remain entirely volunteer-run and member-supported. We swap practical advice on stubborn tension springs, share rare scrap cuts, and preserve traditional needlecrafts in good company.
From crewelwork and delicate blackwork to contemporary freestyle samplers, members trade tips on thread weights, hoop tension, and neat finishing.
Whether assembling precise English paper piecing hexagons or piecing modern improv lap quilts, you will find generous table space to lay out patterns and pin blocks.
Give beloved cardigans and worn linens fresh life through Japanese sashiko darning, patch reinforcement, and decorative structural mending.
