Calling all entrepreneurs in the craft / designer / maker / artist fields! This group is not for hobby designers but for the person who wants to make a real living or is currently making a living in their chosen craft! What I hope to achieve through this meet up group is to create a community for us creative souls to get together and talk shop, design together and grow our businesses through helping each other!

My goal for this group is to bring together woman in the community who are running their own business making homemade goods or selling vintage goods. (ETSY shops) A tight knit community and bond between women in the area can  provide an amazing creative atmosphere! However it's not required that you have a business, if you are just interested in knitting, scrap-booking, and other crafts then this is the group for you!

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.

Great stories just don’t fall from the skies off the backs of turtledoves, they’re forged in the steely, fiery minds of writers and actors and producers or plucked, unsuspecting, naked and helpless from the world by sneaky, ninja-like journalists.
