Bobbin and Fred Interviews Jenny Henry and Talks Stitch Club

The younger needlepoint designers are starting to band together and stitch together, which is a great idea!  I don't know what they are doing with the Needlepoint Designers Challenge Group but that will be revealed later.  For now, let's get to know the group, starting with Jenny Henry.

If you keep reading you'll learn about how Stitch Club started in Chicago via Instagram and is evolving as a way for needlepointers and other stitchers to meet and stitch with other folks in their geographic area.  If you are interested in seeing if there is a Stitch Club in your area, look on Instagram or email stitchclubofficial@gmail.com.

Stitch Club on Instagram UPDATED

Various cities are setting up what is called Stitch Club in their areas on Instagram.

Stitch Club's Instagram page has logos for each city that currently has a club going on.

Right now it appears that each city picks a small canvas to stitch together or gets together to stitch periodically.    I don't have time to add another social group to my day so I don't have a lot of information beyond what Don has posted above.  Send inquires to stitchclubofficial@gmail.com.

UPDATE:  Here is an interview with Alexandra Martin, co-founder of the Stitch Club movement.
