Book Club
Our free, virtual book club meets at 7 pm on the third Tuesday of every month and is open to everyone. Each month, we explore fiber-focused books that span a diverse range of topics, including fiber art techniques and history, and fiber-art-related fiction. Please join us to connect with fellow fiber enthusiasts and enjoy lively discussions centered around the fascinating world of textiles.

Lunchtime Fiber Open Studios
Lunchtime Fiber Open Studios is a free, hybrid event held every Tuesday and Thursday. Meet us in person at the SEFAA Center from 10 am to 2 pm or join us virtually on Zoom from 10 am to noon. Whether you prefer to gather in person or online, these sessions are the perfect opportunity to focus on your projects, share ideas, troubleshoot challenges, and enjoy making with like-minded friends. Come and go as your schedule allows—drop in anytime and stay as long as you’d like! We look forward to seeing you for some fun, creativity, and camaraderie. Don’t miss it!

Pricing Parties
Join us for monthly Pricing Parties! Donations of textile and fiber-related items arrive all the time, and we need your help sorting, organizing, and pricing them. This is a great way to give back, connect with fellow fiber lovers, and get first dibs on new stock before it hits the shelves! No experience is needed—just bring your enthusiasm (and maybe a pair of scissors!). Come for as long as you’d like, lend a hand, and enjoy some behind-the-scenes fun. We can’t wait to see you there!

Program Meetings

Stitching Time
If you hand stitch, this fun, free, virtual gathering is for you. Share your work(s) in progress, seek and share creative and technical advice, and enjoy time with others who share your stitch passion. Sign up to receive the Zoom link and then grab your beverage of choice on the first Wednesday of each month. Once the clock strikes 7 pm, the cross stitching, embroidery, Sashiko, wool embellishment, needlepoint, and … will begin!
