Grandma Hobbies Return to Amarillo With Golden Collective’s Stitch and Sip
The hobbies our grandmothers loved are making a comeback. Back in the day, we would sit and watch our grandmothers sew, knit, and crochet. We'd go with them while they sat in quilting circles with their friends. We'd play in the corner while they created magnificent quilts. Now a whole new generation is finding the love of "Grandma hobbies" or needle crafting.
What Is Stitch and Sip?
That spirit is coming to Amarillo. A new event hosted by the Golden Collective is giving Amarilloans a chance to spend an afternoon off the screens, slowing down and creating memories.
