Month: November 2014

I wish all of you a wonderful “THANKSGIVING”  I know we all have lots to be thankful for.

All of the items for our Christmas Gatherings are now loaded on the site under NEW… (I love watching the home screen switch, so cool)…for you to participate in this special event!  You have until Sunday to figure out your order.  You will automatically receive all 3 patterns and a kit for the pincushion.  You will need to make a minimum purchase of $25 to receive these gifts. (No BOM’s please)  If you want kits for any of the patterns you get free, just enter the kit in your cart…do not enter the pattern.

I also forgot to talk a little more about the coupon book you are going to receive also…it has many many coupons for the whole next year…but it also has prizes for those who use them the most…I can’t remember the breakdown…but it is listed in your coupons what they exactly are…but lets say you use 10 coupons next year…you will be entered in a drawing for a $100 gift card…if you use 15…$250 gift card…if you use 20…a $500 gift card…I know the numbers are not correct but the $$$ is…just another reason to use the coupons!!!

We have received some email or Facebook posts saying you cannot access our site…I’ll try to speak “geek” here for a moment…notice the word try…We have completely changed sites from one url to another…if you still have our old url (book marked or cached) it is trying to access that one and it no longer exists…your computer memorizes things and automatically bring them up…you then cannot click on this..you have to completely re type:  www.primitivegatherings.us  in your  browser then when the new site comes up you can book mark it or save it.. If you still for some reason cannot “get on” please tell us what your page is stating so we can have our “tech guy” Rob look into it… You also can call us on Saturday and we will take an order over the phone 920-722-7233-…we will not be in the store on Friday. Hope this helps…we feel bad that you are having troubles… we want your order and we want to send your all the gifts we have ready for you!!!!

Here is the link to the store it should bring your there for sure… Primitive Gatherings 

Now time for some turkey and pie…my favorites!!! LB

I’m sure everyone is getting their stuff together for their turkey day celebrations!  Take a break for a minute and read about our 2014 Christmas Gathering this year…We have themed it “Heart and Home”…I believe that home is where most of us want to be the most, especially those of us who travel a lot…I love the log cabin block but seriously have not made very many projects ever with it…Using the log cabin block as a starting point I designed 3 patterns for you, if you participate in our Christmas Gathering…what do you need to do to participate if your in town or online???  You can come into the shop on Saturday form 9-3:30…the shop will be brimming with new samples…cookies, coupon book for 2015 and door prizes!  Yes…you know all about all the cool door prizes we have…we also are having our annual bed turning of antique quilts again…at 11am.  You need to purchase $25 in (new-not a bom that you are already signed up for) regular priced merchandise.  You will get 3 Heart and Home themed patterns and the kit for the pincushion.  Here are the projects.  .  Kits will be available for these patterns also.  If you CANNOT come into the shop…you can still shop via the internet! What would we all do without it!!! With a $25 order you will get the three patterns and a pincushion kit, the 2015 coupon book…maybe a door prize…we save half of them for the web quilters…no cookies…bummer, but hey, we’ll post the recipe!  We will accept ONLINE orders from Thursday (27th) through Sunday the (30th.)  If you would like more pincushion kits they will be $6.  You will automatically get a pincushion kit…do not put it in your cart unless you want an extra one(s).  After the Chrimstmas Gatherings Event they will be $7 kit only…so you get a deal if you order more during the event.  They are super cool and easy to stitch!  I love the featherweight machine…everyone should have one of those!  Here are some close-ups of the other projects and their pricing.

I also want to tell you about the new mugs we have made for this special event…We have a limited amount of this log cabin mug for 2014, this will be an annual thing…so we can collect them, notice I said we…I love drinking from these mugs…and…they make awesome vessels for presents for your quilting buddies or for yourself…bring it to work so you can be reminded of what your really want to be doing instead of working…lol…unless you work for me!     Mugs sell for $18.50  These mugs are hand made locally in my town. One of Jake’s buddies works there and this is just another way to support another local small business.  I love the detail.  We only ordered a limited amount of these mugs…I hope you will want one for you or that special quilting friend. ….Hop on over to see Jess’s post of more pics of the shop on the shop blog… Primitive Gatherings Blog  

I mentioned the 2015 Coupon book earlier that you will get…this is the BEST thing for all of next year we will run specials and you will be able to take advantage of them!  This coupon book is given to you as one of our gifts during this event…After the event we charge $10 for it…but this coupon book has many $$$ of savings in it…one for example is 40% off one item…which you could use on a wool kit!!

I hope that covers all of what I was supposed to share for the Christmas Gathering…but I really want to take the time to say how THANKFUL I am to have this talent and to be able to share with all you quilters…quilters are the best people…I am also thankful for this shop we run and the great people who I work with everyday which allow me to offer all of this to you.  I am also thankful for my husband Nick, and sons Luke and his fiancé Brooke,  Jake and his wife Lauren…you make my life so much more exciting and wonderful.  THANK YOU  and have a GREAT holiday, with your family and friends and eat lots of turkey and fixins!!!

Love

Lisa and the Staff of Primitive Gatherings Quilt Shop

THE PATTERNS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THIS PAGE. IT IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR SALE ON OUR WEBSITE. IF YOU NEED TO ORDER THE KIT FOR THIS PART THAT LINK IS STILL WORKING.

Theres a ton of stuff going on here that I can’t wait to share with you…but soon…I’ll let you all know what other things I have been up too…so there will be lots of posts coming…Now back to the Stitch Along!

Are you ready for Part 5?  If not it’s OK…just keep collecting the patterns… But there will be one more Part after this one… your almost there.  I decided this border needed a some wool…I didn’t want anything too fussy so Ive come up with a simple vine and berry border.  The quilt at this point is 28 1/2″…Part 5 will be $11.

I’ve waited to post this until we have had the kits done.  They are starting to ship them today…The quilt will be about 36″ when it is completed!!!  I still would not mind if you sent your “in progress” Stitch Alongs to me…I will post them when I get a bunch…

Now for the “pieced” version…I changed things up a bit here…because I just do that sometimes…The last border is 3″ instead of 2″.  This version is turning out pretty cool too!

Lisa, I have a 10 ft long farm table also so your version of Gerri’s new design is perfect. Thank you for pointing out the technique Gerri uses for star points. Look forward to seeing you at Road2CA in January.
