Are you ready for the most wonderful time of the year? If you’re not already brimming with holiday spirit, I have just the thing to get your mind going in the right direction! I’m excited to announce that the 2024 Primitive Gatherings Primitive Christmas event starts TOMORROW!

For us, Primitive Christmas has been the official kick-off to the holiday season for over a decade!! If you’ve never participated in this festive annual event, both local and online shoppers are definitely in for a real treat. Starting tomorrow, Thursday, November 21st through Sunday, November 24th, 2024, local shoppers will enjoy a variety of make-and-take projects, homemade cookies, fresh apple cider, and a trailer-load of decadent sweet treats and hot drinks brought to us by Little Birdies Treats & Coffee (coffee truck is onsite for the event on THURSDAY, November 21st ONLY). In addition, in-person shoppers will also have the opportunity to see the 2024 Primitive Gatherings Blue & White Quilt Show in its full glory at The Gathering, for a $5.00 (or more) donation at the door!

Now… Let’s talk SHOPPING! The real icing on the Primitive Christmas cake is obviously the FREE downloadable patterns you can get, just for spending money at a place where you were most likely already going to spend it anyway! Primitive Christmas shoppers who spend $40.00 or more, either in-store or online, will receive four new downloadable patterns and one project kit *FREE! (*$40.00 total does NOT including tax or shipping)! Freebies will include the kit and pattern for my new “Magical Snowflake” project, and the patterns for “Rudy and His Gnomie” Pillow, “The Perfect Tree Quilt,” and the “Snowman Family Mini Quilt.”

Not too shabby, right!? Just wait… It gets better! For those of you who are on the “bigger spender” side of the spectrum, get pumped. We have something extra special in store – just for you! In addition to the first set of freebies, both in-store and online shoppers who spend $200.00 or more (not including tax or shipping) will receive my new “Santa’s Coming to Town” pattern packet. This collection features four adorable Christmas-themed projects, brand new for Christmas 2024!

Out of all of the delightful things I’ve already mentioned, I haven’t even talked about the best part of Primitive Christmas yet! It wouldn’t be the holidays without the spirit of giving back, so as always, we’ve selected a charity to share the proceeds of your generosity with! This year we’ve chosen the “Tool for Teachers” campaign for our Primitive Christmas charity recipient. This fundraising event will provide school supplies to our local elementary school located in Winneconne, WI. All proceeds will be used to purchase
school supplies, support the classroom, and help to build a bright future through our youth. What a great idea! 

You can contribute to “Tools for Teachers” now through December 20th, 2024, by making a $10.00 (or more) donation of cash or school supplies towards the cause. To show our appreciation, we will then match your donation with a $10.00 discount off your current Primitive Gatherings minimum purchase of *$40.00.
