I'm Granny Grupe! We met in the book Secret Stitches: An Underground Railroad Activity Book for Adults and Children. When I'm not there, I hang out here to let you know when I may be coming to a library near you to host Granny Grupe's Activity Day.

WHAT HAPPENS

It's two hours of fun! Come display your best drawing of an original quilt square inspired by symbols of the Underground Railroad. Show off your geometry skills about triangles, squares, rectangles and parallelograms. And impress me with your understanding of Underground Railroad history. After completing these exercises, I'll be there to personally sign your SECRET STITCHER certificate in your book.

HOW TO ATTEND

Pre-register by emailing me at eyedmunds@gmail.com  Then, bring your own copy of Secret Stitches with all exercises completed in advance.
