Hand Crafters

Hand Crafters

One of the greatest gifts we have is the ability to create. I have been meeting so many great people that love to make things. You can meet them as well when you visit a local craft show. I am not talking about people who buy things and then sell them for a profit. I am talking about people who take the time to make things from scratch. Here are some that I have met. Please take the time to look at their websites and enjoy the beautiful things that they have created!

Three Sister's Quilting

Maxine Jacobs started quilting in the 90's. She has made a beautiful quilt (or more) for each of the beds in my house along with some great flannel quilts for snuggling up in on the couch. Maxine also makes tablerunners and wall-hangings. She runs a long arm quilting business out of her home.

Bagatelle

Kris Hanson began by knitting hats, mittens, scarves, stockings. But her new passion is in purses. Every color and style you can imagine, and they are all perfectly made!

Anything Doughs

Nancy Jaekel started out selling $50 worth of handmade Christmas ornaments at her first craft show. Now she has several employees, and still each ornament is handmade and personalized at the time of purchase. Nancy is a great believer in hand crafting; even having her own craft sale for 3 weekends during October on her property in Stoddard, Wisconsin.

Sue-Z Quilts

Sue Tuma began quilting about the same time as Maxine, and makes beautiful quilts. She owns a long arm quilting machine and runs her business out of her home. She makes quilts, tablerunners, and wall-hangings as well.

Kitchen Carvers

Harry Clarke is an incredibly talented woodworker. I met him in Elizabeth Illinois. These are a few of the items he has for sale. But check out his site to get the full spectrum of his gift. He makes spoons, spatulas, bowls, etc. And check out his logo, I made him a matching apron to wear at his next show!

Classic Bells

What a perfect addition to a Holiday Fair. Right down the row from my booth was a couple who restore and sell vintage horse and sleigh bells. They also have new bells and reproductions. The sound brought back memories of when I was a little girl as my grandfather would take us for sleigh rides. All you could hear was the sleigh sliding through the snow and the bells from the horses. Life is very good!

Ooh It's Soy Good

All of the candles are made in Nancy's kitchen in Hazelhurst, Wisconsin. The candles are made of 100% soy and only the finest oils. The scents will not die out of this clean burning candle.

Smith Brothers Landing

Specializing in decorative metal and glass sculptures for the garden, Dave and Jane do fabulous work. If you get a chance, stop into their studio on beautiful Lake Pepin.
