The winner of the stack of vintage flour-sack fabric from our Flour Sacks giveaway is Brenda Forrest, who said in response to our query, “tell me why you connect with the nostalgia of MaryJanesFarm” … 

“Picking up a MaryJanesFarm magazine at the local grocer newsstand several years ago was a true ‘pick up’ life saver. The magazine has been inspirational, a dream builder, a challenger, and yes, even nostalgic. I grew up in a city but now live in a small rural town. (My brother thinks I lost my mind loving the slower pace; personally, I question his sanity spending hours in traffic.) I could go on for hours with stories of the items I’ve crafted (from a clothespin bag to a small home), but the inner joy and encouragement the magazine has brought me tops the list. That said, I couldn’t resist the chance to comment on your blog about ‘flour sacks’. My flour-sack memory holds a special place because while visiting country cousins during my childhood (about 12 years old), we stitched cheerleading outfits from my aunt’s stash and competed with the girls at the next farm. Although cheerleading was not my ‘thing’, I was awed with the origins, textures, and colors of the fabric used for our outfits.

So, thanks for the opportunity to relive memories, ideas for projects, and encouragement to dream in this season of my life, which by the way is my 6th decade of life. I ‘met’ MaryJane’s magazine when I was in my 50s! Testimonial for ‘It’s never too late!’”

Congratulations, Brenda! Watch for an email from the farm. 

Thank you to all the women who responded with such lovely comments. I thoroughly enjoyed reading them!

The winners of the t-shirts from our Two-Wheel Farmer giveaway are Colleen Maki, who said in response to our query, “send me one of your tried-and-true household or garden tips” …

“To get rid of pesky weeds, pour simple BOILING WATER over the weed, and it’s like magic … gone in no time at all!”

and Cheryl Stanley, who said …

“I like to grow milkweed for the monarch butterflies. They are the true meaning of summer for me in Indiana. I had never seen one before 2011, when I moved here. This year, I have been collecting a lot of seeds and learned about herbalism. I made my first goldenrod infusion. So exciting! I love your magazine and all the support of farmlife and women.”

Congratulations, Colleen and Cheryl! Watch for an email from the farm.

“Just received today’s issue in the mail. Turned the page and couldn’t believe my eyes! My parents received the small serving bowl as a wedding present in 1951. I have since found the 2 larger bowls and would love to add to the collection. How fun!!”

and the dish-drainer quilt goes to Annette Garner, who says …

“I have been collecting Autumn Leaf for over 20 years. My sister does as well, and we enjoy looking for finds when we are out and about. We especially enjoy using Autumn Leaf on holidays with large family gatherings. Put my name in the hat for a chance to win an Autumn Leaf dish drainer quilt or a salt and pepper shaker set. I really enjoy MaryJanesFarm magazine, especially the recipes.”

The winner of our Wild Bread Towel giveaway is Teri Schneider, who said in response to our query, “share with me something you love about my magazine or books or food or any of the products available on my website” …

“Oh my gosh! I’ve got years and years of your magazines that I have gone back to for recipes, projects, everything, lol. Sometimes I get distracted looking through them for something and end up making/doing more than I planned. I’ll even say to my friends, ‘Hey, I think I saw something in one of my MaryJanesFarm magazines about that. Let me look for it for you!’ It’s impossible to pick just one thing about them.”

Congratulations, Teri! Watch for an email from the farm.
