Let’s Celebrate!

Hey, everyone!

Today is my 59th birthday, and like most special days around here, we’re celebrating it with freebies! Meet Chatty Jack, my latest Halloween-themed project. This wool appliqué on cotton cutie features a cheerful jack-o-lantern on one side and a cluster of hand-stitched words that sum up all the fun and spookiness of Halloween on the other!

My little buddy Jack is a fun and festive pattern that comes in two versions: the Primitive version, with earthy, classic tones, and the Modern version, with a brighter and bolder palette. The finished design (words and pumpkin) measures 8″ x 8″ and the framed area of the piece is 10″ x 10″ finished.

If you love Jack as much as I do, I have great news for you! In honor of my birthday, now through this Sunday, October 26th, 2025, I am giving away a *FREE digital download and kit for Chatty Jack with a $50.00 purchase, (either in-store or online) so you can make a Jack of your very own! Don’t want to spend 50 bucks, but still want the kit and pattern? You’re in luck! They’re both available now to purchase on our website. Get it in printed format or as a digital download by clicking HERE!

PLEASE NOTE: the *free kit that you get will be chosen randomly, so if you have a preference, please indicate which one you want in the comment section of your order!

Of course, my birthday fun didn’t start with Chatty Jack… By now, you’ve probably seen Jess’s email about DOUBLE Loyalty Points today — but just in case you missed it, here are the deets! TODAY ONLY – October 23rd, 2025, every Primitive Gatherings purchase, online or in-store, earns double points, making today the perfect time to stock up or snag something you’ve had your eye on. You’re welcome!

If you didn’t get the email and want to stay in the loop for special announcements, exclusive deals, and fun freebies like this in the future, be sure to sign up for our mailing list. Add your name by heading to the Primitive Gatherings website and scrolling all the way to the bottom. That way, you’ll never miss out!

Well, friends, now that I’ve had my favorite cake and ice cream for lunch, it’s time to start thinking about birthday dinner! No fancy plans here… My pal Linda Hrcka is in town for her two-day custom quilting retreat this weekend at The Gathering, so we’re planning to go out for pizza, MORE CAKE, and MORE ice cream with the grands tonight. That’s all I want to do — spend time with my family and closest friends. The older I get, the more I believe that’s what life is really all about! That being said, I wish you all a wonderful and relaxing evening and hope you’ll get to do the same. See you soon! ~Lisa

    Hey!! I stopped to get a backing for Vegas Val Kruegers new fat qtr pattern that I just snapped up at Primitive Gatherings!! It needed a background fabric and I had already starched the fat qtrs all up!!! I was given a free kit & pattern too!!! My wool applique pumpkin kit with adorable lettering is just enough to get done before the big day, Oct 31!
    I’m just lucky enough to be finishing my last two unstarched quilt projects from Quilt Stock, Moda’s fab retreats from 2018 & 2019. See? It IS possible to go back and finish projects partially completed from a past retreat!
    I stayed for one full day of sewing & stitching with the handwork stitching ladies and the next day with Sit & Sew folks. This was one of the special Sit & Sews where we added a bit of $ and got to stay til 9pm and were served dinner too!! Thanks, Mickie & Erica!!!
    Woot! Woot!!
    I got SO much work done!! No office calling me and no laundry!!! Just Yammering and sew/stitching!! It’s the best time!!
