WELCOME to the Long Beach "Stitch'N'Chicks Crafting Club" we are "hooked" on knitting/ crocheting, cross stitching, beading, embroidering, quilting, Jewelry making, crafting anything and making new friends. The club loves to craft and chat. We get together to learn from each other and to create lifelong friendships with a common thread. We are a small, friendly, comfortable, social club of ladies looking for all levels of experienced crafters, knitters, and crocheters. We were formed with a club atmosphere and like to do many different and fun social events during the year. While we are crafting, we will be sharing patterns, swapping yarn/crafting supplies, getting or giving advice, helping each other through our frustrating project moments, chatting and gossiping about our knitting/ crocheting/crafting visions, munching on goodies, and planing field trips. The club was formed in July, 2006, formally from Meet-up.com, to meet other avid crafters knitters, crocheters, and to make new friends who want to have fun with a variety of events and field trips. We currently meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month at 5:30pm - 8:30pm. Our meeting location is at Denny's Restaurant on Westminster Ave , Seal Beach. We will be in their back room. You are welcome to come check us out as our guest. Please note that Stitch n' Chicks is now OPEN you can visit and be our guest for two meetings. Come see what fun we have and all the crafts we learn. Any questions email Debb at Stitchnchicks@msn.com or calcrochetnut@msn.com and fill out the "contact form" below with any questions or comments. Join in on the fun and be prepared to have a "craftastic" evening with other "needled to death" craftsters. Our motto is to strive for a close "crafted" friendship within our membership.
