Helping you unleash your creative spirit
Welcome to Handcraft Happy Hour
Booo! It’s time for Halloween.
Shop by Department
A Handcraft Happy Hour is any time you are doing something that makes you happy creatively.
What is your Happy Hour?
Creating a perfect fitting garment?
Stitching a snarky embroidery piece for your best friend?
Making a quilt for your adorable new nephew?
Or, maybe, a paint-by-number party with snacks and mocktails and your friends!
We all have images of what our happiest hours should look like and stories of our first makes and creative messes! So, whether we are the first stop in your first creative mess or you are a well-seasoned crafter extraordinaire and want to craft with others, you’ve come to the right place.
Whatever threads your needle, we are glad you found us and we can't wait to get to know you!
Classes & Makers Meetups happening this week

In the 3-hour Rental Class you will learn how to load up your backing, the batting + your quilt top, wind bobbins, the basics of using the Moxie 15 machine, and the guidelines of the Handcraft Happy Hour rental program.
Get ready for the 2025 All Mid-Atlantic Shop Hop

The All Mid-Atlantic Shop Hop™ Magazine is your guide to all things about the event. In addition, you will find patterns, articles and resources for sewing and quilting. Your magazine will be a great reference even after the Shop Hop has ended. Use it as inspiration for a new project, or to find a quilt shop as you meander through Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.
- Magazines are only available from participating Shop Hop stores and we can mail one to you!
- Magazines are expected in May and you can pre-order now.
- Your magazine will include an official Passport. Each person in your party will need a Passport in order to register for prizes.
- Regional and state maps are included in the magazine to help you plan your best friends roadtrip!
- The magazine notes special hours for participating Shop Hop stores.
