Good Morning All! I hope everyone had a terrific Valentine's Day! I got to spend some quality time with my hubby, and got some painting time in too! Can't have a better Sunday then that. But I am here today to show you a fantastic prim stitcher....Kim of Valley Primitives!

Kim was gracious enough to answer some interview questions in regards to her crafts so grab a cup of your favorite beverage and enjoy the interview below with Kim. Be sure to pop over to her shop too as she has so many wonderfully handstitched items for any primitive lover!
