The Needleworker’s Ultimate Resource Guide to Celebrating America’s 250th From commemoration to inspiration, we’ve gathered 30+ exhibitions, events, and resources to help you join the festivities.

PieceWork Magazine has a guide to #needlework events associated with #Rev250. You can ask to post your events too.

And yes, that is me at the #IpswichLace event we held for #Massachusetts250.

This was a lot of fun.

The 250th anniversary of the American Revolution is a good opportunity to reflect on the power of #democracy and the deliberative and decision-making power of citizens in #TownMeeting.

#MA250 #Massachusetts250

They reflected on what happens when people
-say things that are not clear, -don't listen, &
-when questions are not answered.
They learned the power Massachusetts townspeople have and why this democracy was worth a Revolution
