#59 Create a Stitch & Bitch Group


#59 Make a Stitch & Bitch Group

Our very first meeting at La Boheme.
Michelle is the Yarn Whisper,  Lara & I watch  in amazment.
I finally put my mind to it and created an awesome Stitch & Bitch Group. We decided to meet Saturday mornings, once a month and try a Tuesday evening once a month as well. We were meeting at the perfect place 'La Boheme' a Bohemian coffee joint/Vintage Boutique perfect for hippies, hipsters, theatre people and neo-crafters. I knew the owner & staff and they knew our group and LOVED having us there. But sadly(yes I cried) they went out of business. So we were homeless for a while. Nothing sadder then a lady with no place to craft. One Tuesday we tried our favorite pub, but it proved to be too dark to get anything accomplished. 
Kelly, Debi, and Tori Stitch while Bonnie bitches.










Now we are at another coffee joint across the river and they seem really nice and very accommodating. It's been stressful trying to organize it, but all the 'thanks for doing this, Jen' have been worth it. It’s nice to hang out with like minded ladies(and gentleman) who craft. We have knitters, crochet-ers, needle pointers, even jewelry artists.
Our first meeting at our new place Stone House Coffee

We have a group on facebook that currently has 22 members! Though our average for Saturdays has been about 10ish. So if you are in the valley on the first Saturday of the month, stop by Stone House Coffee and come Stitch with us, or Bitch with us or as we prefer come do both!
