Just Say NO to Fabric FOMO!
Hey, everyone! How is it possible that we’re almost half-way through August already when it seems like summer just got started? Then again, I guess having several back-to-back retreats for the first two months of a season is a pretty surefire way to make it fly by! Between all the teaching, designing, and traveling all…

From Christmas Fabric to Country Songs… We’ve Got it All at Primitive Gatherings!
Hey, everyone! One of the best things about my job as a fabric designer is most definitely delivery day. There’s nothing quite like watching a semi roll up, loaded to the brim with something I designed, and seeing a new fabric line go from a stack of drawings and samples to actual bolts sitting in…

Shake Up Your Holiday Wardrobe with a Primitive Gatherings Snow Globe Sweatshirt!
Hey, everyone! Is it just me, or does Christmas seem to sneak up faster and faster every year? We may still be soaking up the dog days of summer here in Wisconsin, but that doesn’t keep us from dreaming of twinkling lights, winter projects, and all the fun and festivities that go along with the…

Hey, everyone! Holy cats — have we had a day! Last week it was toxic air and muggy heat trying to snuff us out, and now today we’re dealing with baseball-sized hail, torrential rain, and a flippin’ tornado that decided to touch down just a few miles down the highway from PG! Needless to say,…

Planes, Quilts, and 20% OFF at Primitive Gatherings!
Hey, everyone! At what point did “going outside” become something that required a weather report, an air quality index check, AND a heat advisory scan before committing? If you’re in Wisconsin or the surrounding area, last week made that question feel very real. Wildfire smoke rolling in from northern Minnesota and Canada had air quality…

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like… Christmas???
Hey, everyone! Remember me? You may have noticed the blog has been a little quiet over the last couple of weeks, and you’re right about that… I was home enjoying my annual “staycation” after a whirlwind month of back-to-back Red, White, & Blue retreats at The Gathering in June, and man, did I need that…

Here’s 250 Reasons to Shop Primitive Gatherings this Weekend!
Hey, everyone! — Lisa, here, checking in from Anchor Point! I’m currently somewhere between running last-minute errands, busting my hiney in the kitchen, being on — or IN — the lake, and putting the finishing touches on this weekend’s festivities… but even with all the chaos, I wanted to make sure nobody missed out on…

Stitch it, Ship it, Show it Off!
Hey, everyone! Is it just me or is summer going by unusually fast this year? It probably has something to do with the fact that after I got home from my France trip I barely had time to relax before I was suddenly in the middle of three back-to-back sessions of my annual Red, White,…
