The Secret Grove Stitch-A-Long

Welcome to The Secret Grove Stitch-A-Long (SAL)!

"You have been cordially invited to a special gathering in The Secret Grove. A host of animal companions eagerly awaits your arrival. Will you answer their call?"

Over the course of 6 months, this mystery Stitch-A-Long will guide you through the Secret Grove—a hidden meeting place for a secretive group of animal friends. As you stitch, you'll uncover their unique traits, cherished possessions, and the special bonds they share…
