Book gives humorous insights into the cutthroat world of competitive quilting
Eli McCann will sign books and give a presentation on Sept. 21 at the Author’s Note in Medina.
MEDINA – A social media personality and humorist will visit Author’s Note this month to introduce his highly acclaimed new book.
Eli McCann will sign copies and discuss his new book Stitched at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 21 at the book store. In addition, he will do presentations at 4 p.m. Sept. 20 at the Hollwedel Library in Pavilion and at 4:30 p.m. Sept. 21 at Newstead Library in Akron.
Kirkus calls Stitched “Simply charming. McCann’’s prose is bursting at the seams with humor and genuinely tender, touching moments. Cal Crosby from The King’s English Bookshop describes the book as “One part Schilt’s Creek, one part Golden Girls and a whole lot of Eli McCann’s signature wit and charm.”
Stitched is the story of Betty Lou Dearden who has been a member of the Ogden Quilters Association for mor than 20 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 quilting rival quilting circle, the women welcome two young gay men to their group as they bicker their way to an award-worthy entry. It is with disarming humor and extraordinary heart that Eli McCann takes readers deep into the cozy but cutthroat world of competitive quilting and sometimes messy friendships that shape our lives.

He writes a monthly humor column for The Salt Lake Tribune, and his work has been featured in The Washington Post, Newsweek, Huff Post and the BBC. He has a sizable and enthusiastic Instagram following. He lives in Salt Lake City with his husband, son and two naughty dogs.
