About the event

Join us for a night of community and fun! Tonight’s theme is embroidery & cross-stitch. While we ask that you bring your own supplies or already started project, we will have a small donate-and-swap supplies station as well as a few basic embroidery & cross-stitch projects & patterns available to help you get started. We will also have assorted teas for you to enjoy as you work on your project! All are welcome, so come alone or bring friends and family to work in the comfort of community. Participants are encouraged to stay for the entire program but may arrive or leave at any time. This program is open to ages 8+. Children must be registered and accompanied by an adult.
