Eli McCann | Stitched Tuesday Sep 8th, 2026 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM We are thrilled to host the launch event for local columnist, Eli McCann's new novel, Stitched. About the book: A hilarious story of found family that proves it’s never too late to discover who you are. “Eli McCann writes with humor and tenderness about an unlikely collection of people who don’t expect to need one another—and then do. This book will make you laugh and leave you quietly grateful for what remains after the thing that once held a group together no longer matters.” —ANN GARVIN, I Thought You Said This Would Work Betty Lou Dearden has been a member of the Ogden Quilter’s Association for more than twenty years when it’s announced that the biggest quilting competition in the country is coming to her small Utah town. With the clock ticking, the women welcome two young gay men to their group as they bicker their way to an award-worthy entry and attempt to beat their long-time rivals once and for all. With disarming humor and extraordinary heart, Eli McCann takes readers deep into the cozy but cutthroat world of competitive quilting and the sometimes-messy friendships that shape our lives.
