The program meeting for April, 2007 was a lesson in Rag Rugs
How do you make the fabric strips?
and how are they connected?

 Jo F. demonstrated cutting apart old jeans to use for strips.  Susie J. brough a rotary cutter and mat and before we knew it we had quite a stack of strips.  We were so involved we didn't stop to discuss warping the loom.  That will be for another day.

 It is fun to see the children put their faces into the wood figures and wait for photos to be taken.

Look for the prairie kids at special occasions at Goose Lake Prairie State Natural Area.


Thanks to Lyondell, the prairie kids have returned to the prairie. Lyondell volunteers cut out the kids from stencils drawn by Susie Johnson and put a base coat on them during Global Care Day 2006 -- 2 sets as it were.  

Barb Kursell and Susie Johnson had a great time painting the kids and it was fun to see the children at Cabin Fest having pictures made with them.
