# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Powell's Presents: Eli McCann in Conversation With Laura Stanfill
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 28 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Eli McCann’s Stitched (Torrey House) is a hilarious, heartwarming debut novel about competitive quilting, unlikely friendships, and found family.

Betty Lou Dearden has been a member of the Ogden Quilters Association for more than twenty years when it is announced that the biggest quilting competition in the country is coming to Utah. With the clock ticking and a chance to finally beat their long-time rival quilting circle, the women welcome two young gay men to their group as they bicker their way to an award-worthy entry. With disarming humor and extraordinary heart, McCann takes readers deep into the cozy but cutthroat world of competitive quilting and the sometimes-messy friendships that shape our lives.

McCann will be joined in conversation by Laura Stanfill, Forest Avenue Press publisher and author of The Neighborhood Dames.
