"The Book Club" Stitch A Long

 April 27th 2026

Happy Monday Morning!

Welcome to the Page for this years Stitch A Long

"The BOOK CLUB"

Summer is the perfect time to relax, stitch, and read,
 while remembering the moments that bring us joy. 

I have made 6 seperate designs and each section is inspired by a novel filled with characters and stories we can all learn from. Every month, I’ll release a new section featuring some of the characters and motifs related to the story.

Maybe you have not read them yet or you have read all of them. 😉

Whatever the case may be, get your fabric, floss and needles ready

 to create your own bookshelf memory.

Here are the Novels I choose to add to my Book shelf.

Anne of Green Gables

The Secret Garden

Pride and Prejudice

Heidi

Little House on the Prairie
