Hi Wendy, Nice to meet you, I just joined yesterday. This place is great! I love quilting, and knitting but still in the learning stages of both. Never tried rug making but would love to learn! Maybe you can give me some tips some day! I look forward to getting to know you better. Shellie

Welcome, Wendy! It's great to have another Utah farmgirl around - I'd love to see some photos of the lace you make - I recently learned how to needle tat, and it's really fun to do.

Welcome!

XOXO, Libbie

I am excited to see another Utah farm girl here too!! I am in Manti!
How neat that you make lace..that I have never tried but love to watch someone do it...one of my sister in laws did alot of bobbin lace and tatting for awhile.
American Fork has the best DI for sure..don'cha think?????? (for those of us not from Utah..that means big old thrift store to die for!!)
Welcome to the group! I look forward to getting to know you!!

Hey, maybe we can all get together and Wendy can show us lacemaking. We can show her something she's interested in. such an idea! Jenny, the city of Draper is refusing to let a DI store into the town. Can you believe it? Everybody is all over them for being elitist. Sheesh.

Anybody! It can be a single farmgirl, or a group of farmgirls that want to get together, connect, share ideas and inspiration...

XOXO, Libbie

Hi Patricia,
Just getting back to you, thank you for the reply. I've left a message for my friend up in your area, (Park City)
but haven't heard back from her yet. She is a true farmgirl at heart too!! I think she just started a new job, & she doing do some out of the country traveling with her work, so I'll have to get back to you as I hear from her, or who knows she may just jump in from hearing my message I left for her. In fact before she moved your way, she was growing & winning some awards at the local fairs down here for some of her goods, like salsa, pickles, etc. I told her I need her recipe for her salsa, so we decided to trade a recipe, so I'm going to send her one of my prized possesion recipes. Best always to everyone.... Angel

Thanks, Angel. She does sound like a farmgirl. I think she'd love our group. I'll look forward to hearing from her if she chooses. Thanks again for the recommendation!

Farmgirl hug,
Patricia

Hi Patricia,
Well looks like we should have a decent turn out for our 1st true farmgirl adventure this week, Kathleen (Ladywkat) is coming to join us too, she is down here for family reasons, not just us, but still very cool. So does that make you a chapter of two or have you grown more? I know you gals will being doing something that we will be jealous here for down the road. Kathleen is a great planning/party/activity all round cool girl.
Take care...Angel

Angel, wish I could be there with you all! I know you'll have a great time. Stu and I are going to visit Aunt Jenny on Wednesday. We're going to talk about our Farm fair booth and see Mona and the lambs. We're taking our dog, Fritz. I wonder what he'll think of the farm animals?! Fun!
