Several years ago I purchased a quilt in an antique store here in Long Prairie.I estimate that it was made in the early 1930’s. It had never been used and was in pristine condition.I love that quilt, it’s soft and has a wonderful hand to it and it represents "home and comfort" to me. I…

Hookers are wonderful
I found this interesting piece in an antique shop today… My Mother was a rug hooker from way back. She taught herself to hook and was well ahead of her time as a designer. I have some of her rugs and I value them dearly. I remember she even cut up one of our good…
