The Prairie Girl's Guide to Life - by Jennifer Worick - $18.95This lovely little hardback book teaches practically how to sew a sampler quilt and 49 other pioneer projects for the modern girl. Here are some of them: How to spin, milk a cow, make a perfect pot of tea, embroider towels, cure meat, bake a stew with cornbread, make soap, braid a rag rug, learn to waltz, make natural insect repellant, arrange wildflowers and a lot more. Along with the descriptions are interesting and often funny anecdotes. Really enjoyable reading even if you don't want to do all the projects. Ages 9 - 17 yrs |
