Stitch ’n’ Bitch
What a year we have had so far.
One none of us could have ever
predicted. I think most of us
continue to run through a gamut
of emotions on a daily basis as we
hear news from near and abroad.
So I am choosing to focus on the
positives that have come out of this
pandemic thus far, and our virtual
Stitch ‘n’ Bitch meet-up is definitely
one of my highlights every other
week.
We have managed to successfully
meet online, with technology
cooperating, for the most part. It’s
certainly not the same as meeting
in person, but seeing friendly faces
and listening to those laughs goes
a long way toward lifting all of our
spirits. Being able to share our
anguish and joy has been such
an important part of supporting
each other during this quarantine,
something I am truly grateful for.
Some members have taken up
new crafts, while others have
finally found time to continue that
work-in-progress, with fantastic
results! It’s always such a thrill to
show off a finished project to this
group, where a real celebration is
had by all.
Some new faces have joined us,
which has been lovely, as well as
some fur babies. We have been
lucky enough to reconnect with
some past members who have
since moved away from Hamburg
and have loved catching up on
news from Karen O. in Texas,
Sandra S. in Florida, Callie H. in
Connecticut, Morgan P. in London,
Jana F. in France, and Emma B. in
Berlin. What an international group
we are.
Stitch ’n‘ Bitch will continue to
meet via our SnB virtual meet-up
link until we are able to safely meet
in larger groups again. Any news or
updates will be communicated via
our mailing list, so if you would like
to be included, please let me know:
[email protected].
I hope you‘re all able to enjoy this
time, to slow down, to find gratitude
in all we have, and to continue to
support each other. Please reach
out if you’d ever like to join us—
you’re always welcome!
