Christmas 2026 Advent Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe

“It's funny, most people can be around someone and they gradually begin to love them and never know exactly when it happened; but Ruth knew the very second it happened to her. When Idgie had grinned at her and tried to hand her that jar of honey, all these feelings that she had been trying to hold back came flooding through her, and it was at that second in time that she knew she loved Idgie with all her heart.”
― Fannie Flagg, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe 24-day hand dyed advent.

Twenty-five days of warmth from a cafe that fed everyone. This year's Christmas advent follows the heart of Fannie Flagg's novel with the bee charmer and her Ruth, the railroad running through town, Sipsey's kitchen, and the found family that gathered around one long table in a place where nobody went hungry. Each day is a mini skein inspired by a character, a place, or a feeling this story inspired in me. Pull up a chair. There's always room. 

One full skein

24 mini skeins
