First Thursday in May

We had quite a turnout yesterday for First Thursday. Thanks to everyone who came out to see local artists at your local stores. Here are some photos from the event...we can't wait to do it again next month (June 2nd...mark your calendars).

Current and future sewers and knitters...

Molly + Benny!

Willa, Susan (how's that scarf coming?), and Lizzie...

Thanks to artist Katie James (here with her sister Sarah setting up) for sharing her beautiful work with us:

Katie James, "Black Sewing Machine"
watercolor, ink, gouache, pencil

And, of course, our very own Eloise Narrigan...talented knitter (check out the sweater she's wearing), sewer, and artist (among other things!).

Eloise Narrigan, "They Considered Eustice's Color Choices Carefully"
watercolor and ink

Eloise Narrigan, "Sewing for Spring"
watercolor and ink

Eloise Narrigan, "It's Called Frogging Because you Rippit"
digital print

The artwork will be on display this month at JP Knit & Stitch. The photos don't do the delicate watercolors justice so stop by if you didn't get a chance last night. (And don't forget all the pieces are for sale..)
