Intergenerational American Flag Cross Stitch Brooch

Intergenerational American Flag Cross Stitch Brooch

Celebrate America's 250th Anniversary and Women's History Month! Is the story of Betsy Ross stitching the first American flag an urban legend? What do you know about the women who assembled the flag dubbed "Old Glory"? Listen to a little American and Women's history and then learn to cross stitch a mini American flag brooch. This month, our intergenerational program is for age 10 through adult. Please register as supplies are limited!
