Historic Textile Event May 5th in Arrow Rock MO

I thought many of you might be interested in this exciting afternoon,planned dedicated to quilting,wool,rug hooking ,spinning, textiles etc,......Many nice demos and wonderful history!

I am planning on attending, so Primitive Stitches shop will be closed on that Saurday May 5th,

The shop will also be closed, as well on Thursday and Friday May 3-4th. I will be working at the Living History Days in Warsaw MO. It is a event that allows several hundred school age children to have a field trip and take a "step back into the 1800" and experience day to day living then. I am just thankful that I am abel to help partcipate in something that is so special to me.

Sorry for any inconvenience, the shop will re-open on Tuesday May 8th
