A Good Yarn Punch Needle Book Club, led by Oxford Instructor Mandy Alsager, brings together the love of a good story and punch needle rug hooking!
Join Mandy and other punchers at this monthly Zoom book club to discuss a chosen novel and to have fun punching together. The November book is The Pirate Queenby Ariel Lawhon, "a fascinating historical fiction novel which is told using a unique structure of three distinct alternating timelines", according to Goodreads!
" A sweeping historical adventure inspired by the life of Grace O’Malley, the legendary Irish folk heroine who risked everything to defend her people. Venture onto the high seas with the thrilling latest from the New York Times bestselling author of The Frozen River and I Was Anastasia."
Participants are encouraged to read the book before hand, and to bring a punch needle project to work on during the friendly discussion of the book. Whether you’re working on a new project, finishing a work in progress, or simply listening and punching, this is a relaxed and welcoming gathering.
