Making Every Stitch Count

Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Park will be hosting an event entitled "Making Every Stitch Count".  Men and women of the early frontier were, by necessity, required to have knowledge of many skills that today we take for granted.  Throughout the park, artisans will be demonstrating the various textile skills early Texans used for survival to make clothing and bedding and for decoration to make their house a "home".  In order to develop a better appreciation of these skills, visitors can observe as well as learn these skills through hands-on activities.
