Description

From the Creator:
As a kid, I spent many lazy, summer days fishing, swimming, and catching frogs at our family pond. Mom
made our favorites for Sunday afternoon picnics and sometimes, there were overnight adventures with a
campfire, roasting hot dogs and making s’mores. What’s funny is that my Mom doesn’t like the outdoors –
the bugs, the heat, the wind. So, Dad built a small cabin with bunk beds, an attached screened porch with a
picnic table, and a fishing deck over the pond. That suited Mom’s version of roughing it.
Some of my happiest childhood memories were at “the cabin”, and I dreamed of living there when I grew up. Thankfully, I married someone who embraced my dream, and we built our own “cabin” almost twelve years ago amidst the wheat fields and prairie grass, just up the hill from the pond. I love sleeping with the windows open, listening to the bullfrogs at night, waking to the birds singing in the morning. I enjoy watching our grandkids fish and catch frogs, just as I did as a kid. We still have campfires with s’mores on cool evenings, watching the wildlife as they carefully watch us. This year, we’re adding a new studio onto the cabin. It’s the perfect place to design fabric and quilts, inspired by nature and childhood prairie dreams.
