January Stitches

I have a bit of an obsession with wool applique!  I have a little over 100 patterns that I want to carry in my little store in the Prairie Moon Barn so that means making samples, samples, samples!

 

Thank goodness my sweet Mom loves to applique, too!  She likes me to get them ready for her and let her do the stitching.  Ahhh but she has to help trace them off....no cheating!

 

We finished up some patterns by Cricket Street Wool.   The above photo is Elmer, Harry, and George Wabbit.

 

The picture below is also, a pattern by Cricket Street Wool.

 

Danny and I work almost every evening on the barn.  We are ready to have the heat connected to the propane just as soon as it warms up and we can get a cement pad poured to set the propane tank on!  Come on warmer days!!!!

 

The floor has been prepped and we are hoping to get the floor done in the next week.  The windows are all trimmed out, and we are ready for the plumbers to come back and finish up!  We have some trim work to do and before long I hope to have it ready and set up the store soon. 

 

We will be moving fences and a cattle guard and doing some landscaping.  I'm ready to decorate those porches and make some nice setting areas along with a porch swing or two!

 

Well time to get busy!   Have a great weekend and stay warm :)

Rug Hooking at Saltbox Primitive Woolens You Need To See This Shop!

This morning Pati Jane, Sandra and I packed up the car and we were on our way from Oklahoma to the Rock Creek Hook~In located in Lenexa, Kansas....so on the way we drove up to Warsaw, Missouri to visit a wonderful little shop "Saltbox Primitive Woolens"

As we were riding up Sandra is busily hooking on a rug...yes you can rug hook in a moving vehicle if your not the one driving!



Okay...now to share pictures of a absolutely wonderful shop. We were greeted at the door and offered something to drink and a place to set our purses.



This is Patty Wallace the owner of Saltbox Primitive Woolens. They offer wool, patterns, supplies, classes, and just so much inspiration right inside the door!

Here is just a sampling of what waits inside...












I also had the honor of meeting a fellow blogger...Kati and she surprised me about knowing about my blog. It's always fun to meet fellow bloggers in person. She has hooked many of the rugs in the Saltbox Primitive Woolens Store.

Now if you ever get to Warsaw, Missouri be sure to stop in this wonderful little store you'll be glad you did.

Oh tomorrow will bring even more treasures as we will be visiting with Betty and her sil "Robin, and a friend we have yet to meet in person JoJo at the hook-in at Rock Creek so check back and I'll be sharing lots of pictures!

Happy Trails....Ginger
