A stitch in time

Take a stitch in time at the Cross-Stitch Circle at the Dimenna Children’s History Museum, now through Sept. 24.

This unique drop-in workshop allows children ages 6 years and older to try their skills at one of the oldest forms of embroidery in the world.

Participants can learn the basics of this craft, or they can make a handcrafted gift.

Cross-Stitch Circle on Thursdays, now through Sept. 24, from 3:30 to 5:30 pm. Free with museum admission.
