Growin Up Years V



Above: The historic Crystal Theatre on Second Avenue of Flandreau, South Dakota was built in 1913.

We lived on a farm 18 miles north of Flandreau, SD.

We would have to go about 3/4 mile to catch the bus to go to high school in town. Now mind you our road was a dirt road and you can guess what that was like when it was wet.

We would have to get home to feed the animals. We didn't mind doing that as we got to know them pretty well. We had a name for each of them.

We had a pet pig that when he was a baby his mother accidently laid on him and broke his back. He would come to our back door and would squeal loudly to get us to come out and play with him. I don't think he even realized that he was a pig as he acted more like a dog.

We finally had to sell him as he was getting to big and it was getting harder for him to get around. We took the money we got from him and bought 2 lambs. We raised them and sold them and then got our bicycle.

Us girls would also sell Gurney Garden Seeds in the spring. That was fun as everyone seemed to be happy that we stopped by.

Quilting Products & How To Video


I have some really nice quiliting / crafting fabrics and some great quilting patterns in my Bonanzle booth, Grandma's Pantry and I would like to share some of them with you.

There is also a pretty good YouTube video on quilting that I thought you may find uesful that I want to share with my readers.

Here some of my fabric offerings:

Naturally Neutral Batik Fat Quarter Bundle Quilt 24 Pc New

What Are Fat Quarters?

Fat Quarters are the first and most common specialty cuts on the market. Most collections will have Fat Quarter Bundles that contain every print. Also, some collections will have a variety of Fat Quarter Bundles that contain a selection of coordinating prints. They are a one-fourth yard cut of fabric that usually measures 18" x 22" instead of the typical 9" x 42" quarter-yard cut.

Fossil Fern Charm Pack Cotton Quilt Fabric Squares 100 Pcs

What Is A Charm Pack?

Charm packs are the smallest and least expensive specialty cut. Their popularity stems from the fact that they are affordable, easy to use, and the size is very common in quilting. Charm Packs typically include one square of every fabric within a collection so the number of pieces included varies. The size of charm packs may also vary slightly by manufacturer.

Oh Cherry Oh Honey Bun Jelly Roll Quilting Fabric 34 Pcs

What Is A Jelly Roll?

Jelly Rolls are different prints from a single collection rolled together and cut length-wise into 2.5" x 44" strips. They are available by collection and have become very popular over the past few years. Jelly Rolls typically include 40 strips of fabric but occasionally can vary.

Hoffman Bali Pops Cotton Candy 2.5X44 Quilt Fabric 40

What Are Bali Pops?

They are similar to a Jelly Roll but for the way they are wrapped for sale.

Twisted Classics Quilt Patterns 34 Designs Quilting New



A Rainbow of Quilts Patterns 9 Deisgns Quilting New


Here is the quilting video I spoke of.
It comes in 4 parts so you will need to follow through at the end of each video. Enjoy!

Grandma's Pantry On Squidoo & Kaboodle


I have no idea how to do a lot of this stuff but I think I have a start. Technical computer things can be difficult.

Anyway, here are the links:

My Squidoo Lens

http://www.squidoo.com/grandmas-pantry

My Kaboodle Page

http://www.kaboodle.com/grandmaspantry


The most difficult of the two is Kaboodle. I still can't figure out how to get my name listed in their store directory. Some of the tools are really confusing and I don't know if I will ever get the page completed.

I wish I knew something about making videos or could find some on YouTube that are relevant to my products so I could add them to my Squidoo Lens. For now, that idea will have to wait.

Visitors can leave notes and vote on some of the stuff on the pages so I hope that you will check them out and participate when you have time.

Now, off to find other ways to promote my products.
