I can’t wait for the next one!
This book club is accessible through all levels, including the free plan, of Stitchwell Social Club membership. Join us today through the link in my bio, or by going to http://www. vickiehowell.com/stitchwellsocialclub 💃🏽

From my hands to yours, I’d love to snail mail you a copy of my new monthly publication, 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗲 — the printed companion piece to the supportive, engaged and inspiring community and (virtual) event space, Stitchwell Social Club.
This zine is printed as a limited run based on monthly membership numbers. 𝗧𝗼 𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗽𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲, 𝗯𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗯 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟴𝘁𝗵.
