That is the “Sew” portion of the hour.

Have you made something new, learned a new technique…or are just darn proud of your progress and want to share with others who can appreciate your efforts.

In Stitches with Mary Club
Mary Maurer is the creative force behind this club which is designed for all sewists. No special machines needed. Each month Mary will share a project... or 2 for you to make for yourself or as a gift. Plus, in a section called Seams So Easy Quilt Along with Mary each month Mary will share instructions for one of eight 10" blocks - that comes with a 6-inch matching "baby sister". All blocks can be constructed from ONE layer cake and will result in a quilt top at completion. This club is designed for all skill levels. Don't forget to bring projects to share with the class. As we all know, handmade gifts are the most personal of all.
January 3, 2024 - An Announcement from "In Stitches with Mary":
As many of you already know, December 13, 2023 was my last club. Deciding to bring "In Stitches" to an end was a very difficult decision and one I did not take lightly. I am finding myself looking for more time for others in my life and after evaluating my priorities and my other needs and wants, this is the step I need to take.
I want to thank all of you for supporting me these past four years. Many of you have been there since the beginning - even through the pandemic - and for that I will be forever grateful. I have loved getting to know each of you and I hope you have learned from me as much as I have learned from you.
I will continue to be working at Neal's and plan to offer some new classes in the future. What these will look like is still to be determined. Keep reading the Neal's Newsletter and website for updates. Thank you for being a part of my "In Stitches with Mary" journey and until I see you again, keep on sewing along.
