Mardell finished another flannel lap quilt that will be great for the men in your life - besides, it's in a color range that will look good in your home.

Today was a book work day for me. I was also working on an ad for the next Country Register. Since it's for the September/October edition I needed to include Pumpkin Gathering (September 11 & 12) and also the week of the AQS show in Des Moines. We're not going to vend at the show and will instead extend shop hours and have special sales here in Elk Horn. If you're making plans to attend the show, why not plan to visit Prairie Star Quilts on your way there or home? We'll open the shop early or late if you let us know when you are coming. Of course, buses are welcome!
