Firefly Hours: Fiber Arts - Community Stitching with Mama Carla Wiley

Inspired by the renewed season of gathering and the quiet magic of early evening, these relaxed, all-ages workshops celebrate small acts of making, connection, and shared light—like fireflies flickering across the lawn. Participants are encouraged to bring blankets or lawn chairs and settle in for gentle, hands-on fiber activities that build across the three evenings. As part of Historic Germantown’s neighborhood Firefly Hours initiative, Allens Lane Art Center invites the community to gather outdoors at dusk for a three-evening spring fiber arts series.

The series concludes with an outdoor stitching session led by quilt artist Mama Carla Wiley. Participants are welcome to bring their own projects or join in to learn a bit about hand-stitching for quilting. The session will be relaxed and open, with materials provided, offering a chance to make, connect, and enjoy the evening together—a true Firefly Hour moment.
