Today I continue my quest in creating and posting one block a day of the fabulous That Town And Country Quilt by the lovely Susan-Claire Mayfield. This is day two hundred and thirty-nine of that project.

Kathy’s Krafts is so amazing! It has everything!

It’s like a Willie Wonka’s of crafts. Bright, colorful, and organized. You want to look everywhere at once.

There is a crafting area in the back where something is constantly being created. It’s everyone who crafts’ happy place.

This square was made with my dear friend Kathy in mind. She had the most impressive craft room you could imagine. It was designed just for her, with places for all her various crafts.

My grandsons would go up and help her haul boxes up and down the stairs to her amazing room.

Kathy lost her house in the Troublesome fire last year. It’s been really hard on her.

Now Kathy’s Krafts will remind me forever of her.
