As the organizer of a hopping couples group, I enjoy those activities immensely with my husband. However, there is a major *gap* only women can fill and we gals know and feel exactly what that is! I hope this group will foster precious connections: woman to woman with plenty of laughter and sharing enjoyable activities, from laid back hanging out just chatting to special activities that emerge as our group evolves. Some ideas are games, book club, art, poetry, crafts, pot lucks or inexpensive di …

We read excellent fiction, discuss it from a craft perspective, and practice writing pastiches based on those readings. We love the chance to share our pastiches with each other. Consider this a kind of graduate level literary fiction reading/writing/workshop. I am open to location/dates/times/number of times/number of members with the following caveats: If we are going …

I am putting together a group of men and women who want to teach and learn from each other - as well as make new friends. An example:  I know how to knit very well (and I'm humble) - but I do not know how to crochet or use my sewing machine.  I can teach knitting and I want to learn the other stuff - including any other fun craft that a member is willing to teach! I am thinking meetups at my house on occassion when we need an outlet - say for a sewing machien or hot glue gun!  And having other m …

In 2009, after looking for a group in the Fairfax City area for sewers/knitters/quilters, etc. and not finding one quite close enough, I figured why not start one? Our group is for people looking to stitch with a group to complete all those projects we've started and not completed, and to gain inspiration from others on new projects. Our group is very diverse in experience level, age, and craft. I think that has led to the most fun! No two meet ups are ever the same.
