Join us for our Happy Little Quilt Shop Book Club on Thursday, December 18 as we discuss
📚 Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney.
Set on New Year’s Eve in 1984, this charming, reflective novel follows Lillian—once the highest-paid woman in advertising—as she wanders through Manhattan, revisiting the people, places, and memories that shaped her life. It’s a story about independence, aging, creativity, and the courage it takes to keep moving forward.
We’ll chat about:
• How Lillian’s wit and resilience show up in different seasons of her life
• The changing roles of women, work, and identity over the decades
• Our favorite lines, scenes, and characters (and maybe how they connect to our own creative lives!)
🫖 Details:
• Date: Thursday, December 18
• Time: 7-9pm
• Location: Happy Little Quilt Shop
• Bring: Your copy of the book, a favorite quote to share, and your cozy, bookish self
Whether you’ve finished every page or are still working your way through, you’re warmly welcome—this is a relaxed, low-pressure discussion.
✨ Please RSVP so we know how many chairs (and treats!) to set out.
Annnnddd don’t forget to bring your projects in progress for the open sew portion of our evening or join our sampler! We’re making a simple quilt block to complement each book!
