Where Classic Literature and Needlework Are Sewn Together
Hosted by Sapphire Mountain Handcrafts
SAL Catalog
Literary Stitch-A-Longs
A Stitch-A-Long is a scheduled event in which members work on the same piece of needlework with the goal of finishing at the same time. Each Stitching Book Club SAL is based around a work of classic literature. Throughout the SAL's active period we will read the assigned novel and stitch a corresponding piece of needlework. The fun part is that the pattern is a mystery and you won't know what the pattern looks like until you're completely done! I will of course give some sneak peeks leading up to the SAL to help you decide if it is something you might want to stitch, but the pattern as a whole will not be revealed until the very end.
​
If mystery patterns aren't your thing, all of my SALs remain available in their full form after their active period has ended. You can find all past SALs in my shop.
