The Country Register Story
The Country Register began in Arizona in the fall of 1988 to provide effective and
affordable advertising for shops, shows and other experiences enjoyed by a kindred of
readership. Since then, the paper has spread to many other areas, all of which are listed
below. Look for the paper in your travels. To receive a sample paper from another area,
mail $3 in the USA or $4 in Canada to that area 's editor. Advertising rates area available
upon request. The Country Register is available at the shops that advertise and often at
other unique locations. We hope you enjoy this bi-monthly publication and let the
advertisers know. For additional information, visit www.countryregister.com. The Country
Register Founder: Barbara Floyd, Phoenix, AZ, 602-237-6008 .

Samplers offer a glimpse into
.,
history and the everyday life of
early needleworkers.The oldest
surviving samplers are dated back
to the 15th and 16th centuries.
T
When the needlewoman saw a new
stitching pattern, she would quickly
sew a small sample of it onto a
small, narrow piece of cloth which
became her 'sampler.'They were
about 6-9 inches wide and were
called band samplers. When
unrolled they revealed an
assortment of drawnwork, cutwork,
needlework and embroidery. They were used as a reference or guide for
future projects. Another early form of samplers are called spot samplers.
They consisted of little vignettes of flowers , butterflies, birds, or other
decorative stitches.
The most common samplers found today are ones that werecreated by
young schoolgirls. They consist of cross-stitched alphabets, numbers,
poetry or biblical verses, and little figures, flowers and animals. These
samplers were a way to teach young girls the basics of needleworking,
and also theiralphabet and numbers. The top half of the sampler was
usually devoted to the alphabet, while the bottom was a picture, motto,
poem, or biblical verse.
Great care should be taken to protect samplers from fading and
deterioration. Framing samplers without allowing proper air circulation
will cause them to rot. Also, be careful as to not display them in direct
sunlight as this will cause them to fade .
Today, samplers are highly collectible and are proudly displayed in the
primitive/colonial home. For those of you who are not lucky enough to
own an antique sampler, reproduction ones are widely available and
look very authentic, right down to the colors and imperfect stitching
patterns.

John Rossini has been a professional architect, illustrator and watercolorist for
30 years. His paintings are represented in numerous private and corporate
collections.
John was educated at the Georgia Institute of Technology where he developed a
life long passion for watercolors. He received a degree in Architecture and
formal training in architectural illustration. He has been a lecturer in the Fine
Arts Department at the University of Massachusetts where he taught
architectural illustration. In addition, John has been an adjunct professor at Bay
Path College in Massachusetts for the past several years teaching drawing and
architectural technology.
John's architectural background and attention to detail have been a strong
influence in the subject matter and composition of his artwork. John affirms,
"The subjects of my art are generally ordinary scenes with strong architectural
themes that reflect the New England vernacular. My style is realist in order to
present the things around me as they truly exist. The barns, houses and the
countryside of New England provide a major source of material for my
paintings. My wife, a professional crafter and collector, provides the teddy
bears, rag dolls, quilts and "stuff' that often frequent my artwork."
To view John's art prints, go to www.PennyLanePublishing.com or call Penny
Lane Publishing at 800-273-5263 for more information.

For Christmas, some children get toys
for being good little girls and boys.
That is why toys are so much a part
of the holiday season decorating on
Christmas cards and Christmas
trees-train sets, teddy bears and
hobby horses, toy drums, toy soldiers,
sleds, trucks and all sorts of dolls.
They represent innocence and fun. They make us feel good, even loved .
They make us smile. Because they evoke such nostalgia, old toys are
among the most sought-after and are often the most expensive
collectibles on the antiques market.
It is a lovely idea to decorate for the holidays using old toys, placing
them on the mantel or book shelves, in the china closet, even on the
dining table or including them among the wrapped packages under the
tree.
It is not necessary to pay a fortune for them if you shop around. If you
check out the advertisers in this publication, you will undoubtedly find
some good deals on vintage and antique toys. I particularly like the
handmade toys- trucks, boats, rag dolls-many from the 1930s when
money was tight or from rural families living far from fancy department
stores.
Shop at your nearest antique mall or auction house and treat yourself to
one classic old toy for your yearly Christmas decorating scheme. Before
you know it, you shall have an investment quality collection to pass
down to your family. That is, of course, if they've been good little girls
and boys.

Whether one truly likes fruitcake or not, it has made its way into even the
modem Christmas traditions. Here in the United States, the mail order
fruitcakes date back to 1913, made by some well-known American
bakers of fruit cake such as Collin Street Bakery in Corsicana, Texas, and
Claxton Bakery in Claxton, Georgia.

Both Collin Street and Claxton are Southern companies with access to
inexpensive nuts, for which the expression "nutty as a fruitcake" was
derived in 1935.1 t leads one to wonder if the fruitcake has ever gotten
the respect here in the US that it demands from other countries.
There is a version of the fruitcake in every country in the world. Once
believed to be a bread that celebrated harvest and abundance, this
European cake would be served at weddings and other special events.
Here in America, the fruitcake has fallen on hard times and been
ridiculed by such comedians as Johnny Carson, who famously
stated,''There really is only one fruitcake in the world, passed from
family to family."
Insulting the traditional cake even more, since 1995, Manitou Springs,
Colorado, has hosted the Great Fruitcake Toss on the first Saturday of
every January. They encourage the use ofrecycled fruitcakes . The alltime Great Fruitcake Toss record is 1,420 feet, which was set in January
2007 by a group of eight Boeing engineers who built the "Omega 380,'' a
mock artillery piece fueled by compressed air pumped by an exercise
bike.
If prepared in the traditional way using alcohol, the fruitcake's shelf life
is unmatched, as demonstrated in 2003 when comedian Jay Leno
sampled a fruitcake held in the Ford family since 1878. The key, they
say, is to wrap the cake in a cloth soaked in an alcohol-soaked linen.
Still today, commercial fruit cakes are often sold from catalogs by
charities as fund raisers. Perhaps this is the year that your family tries to
help the fruitcake make a legitimate comeback here in the United States.

easier to insert the cloves. Lightly
spray some adhesive glue onto the
orange and sprinkle some ground cloves on, working in small sections at a
time. Let dry. Push a clove into each of the holes. If one breaks off in the
orange, take your screwdriver and push it farther in and push a new clove in.

'Ti the eason for joyous merriment in decorating-or o I am led to believe
by all the media marketers.
The Chri tmas tree is definitely a priority o the hubby and I hiked up the
drop-down stairs in our garage that lead to our attic. We brought down all the
accoutrements for decorating the realistic (at the time) artific ial tree I bought at
70% off retail the previou year. Our little heart ornament, with the year of our
marriage, wa the first to be placed in the heart of the tree and then the
madness began. Every ingle ornament we had omehow landed on a branch in
all its glory. It was our magnum opu that year in the tree decorating
department and we were uber pleased with ourselves.
The ea on passed; Chri tma came and went. We would find our elve parked
in our easy chairs, often hoisting an espresso to our lips. Looking in the
direction of the decorated tree, r would say, "We hould probably take the tree
down today." To which the hubby responded, "Okay," and the word rang like a
gong throughout the land, followed by hi "I'll get to it."
Winter came and went. Spring oon arrived and till we were looking at the
fully decorated tree in our living room. Every Sunday, we wou ld be enjoying it
and then giggle, knowing we were derelict in the matter. Still, neither wanted
to make the effort to dismantle the prized ornaments and put the thing away for
the eason. I would joke about throwing a heet over the tree and having
hidden pneumatic lift that wou ld gently rai e the tree into the attic.
Ea ter arrived and r had my traditional Ea ter Basket display on our enormous
dining room table. A co-worker dropped by the hou e and her head wung
immediately to the fully decorated tree in our living room and imply aid an
emphatic "Oh wow!" and then burst into laughter. We, too, thought it hilarious
at the time.

After he left, I looked in the direction of the 'I'll get to it guy' while picking
through my Easter candy and said, "Oh, boy-I think it's time we did
something about the tree before ummer gets here."
We did not 'get to it' for another few weeks and then, finally, succumbed to the
peer pre sure to put the Chri tmas tree to re t in the attic for the next season.
Putting up the tree wa never quite the same thereafter. I guess I got enough of
the tree to la t a lifetime because I have not put up the Chri tma tree in the
last 8 years-may she Rest in Peace.
There i freedom in jumping off the bandwagon for easonal decorating. But
then again maybe next Christmas 'I'll get to it.'

Folk wisdom tells us that time seems to pass more quickly as one ages, and I'm
beginning to think that, like most folk wisdom, there is a kernel of truth in there
somewhere. Wasn't it just a few weeks ago that we wrapped our fragile Christmas
decorations carefully before putting them away and taking down the tree?
Fall has a way of turning all of our attention
inward. All the energies that we had been putting
into keeping the outside of our homes maintained
are now redirected inside to those projects that
have taken a back seat to more pressing things in
the yard and garden.
For some of us, that will include painting
projects that we have put off and put off. With
many of us putting more thought into providing a
healthy environment for our families and
ourselves, attention has turned to a simpler time
and simpler paint proces -a return to the milk
paint.
Milk paint has stood the test of time and can be
made easily at home by mixing skim milk (room
temp) and a water soluble lime available at any hardware or home supply
store. Pigment may be added.
Milk paint has been around for a long time. It i reported that some monoliths
have proven to be colored with milk based paints. It was only after the Civil
War in 1868 that commercial oil based paints were mass-produced, changing
the paint scheme. While oil paints were used a long time before that, they too
were mixed by u ing more unstable oils like olive, etc. , and their drying time
and affect were equally unstable, which led most to stick with the traditional
milk paint for their painting projects. Yet, it was the green-movement in the
mid 1970s that brought the milk paint back into popularity. So if you are
looking at doing some painting projects thi fall , go ahead and shake it up a
little-literally. Grab your handy mason jar and try your hand at some old
fashioned milk paint.

s
Much of the rush to accomplish the impossible (an immaculate house, to-die-for
Christmas baking, and the perfect present for everyone on our list) is pushed on us
by commercia l interests, of course. When we lived in the city, the department
stores were displaying Halloween and Christmas items simultaneously, while the
strains of "holiday music" drifted through the air while shoppers picked up treats
for the little ghosts and goblins who wou ld appear at their doors October 3 1. (In
fact, I have een fully-decorated trees in store as early a September, along with
back-to-school). In our small town commercialism i n't nearly as blatant, but even
here we are beginning to plan Christmas events and get-togethers because time is
marching on at an increasing rate.
If one fee ls obligated to have a stock of hostess, emergency and "small" gifts on
hand (who doesn't?) and time is galloping past, there must be ways to lessen the
stress, save time and add enjoyment to Chri tmas preparations. Many of us have
participated in Christmas cookie exchanges, where each member of a defined
group makes enough cookies of one kind to provide a pre-set number --usually a
dozen -- to each member of the group, and in return receives the same number of
cookies from other members, resulting in a variety of goodies for everybody.
Economy of scale app lies here. It i more efficient to make one huge batch of the
same kind of cookie than to make several small batches of different kinds.
Why shouldn't the ame process be used by quilters and crafterswith hand-made
"gifty" items instead of cookies? One person in the group might be a whiz at
making a particular type of unique ornament, while others might specialize in
such items as fast (" ten-minute") table runners, sewn coasters, Christmas-print
kitchen towels or fancy seasonal pot-holders. Fe tive reusable gift bags made by
one member could be u ed by all . If a number of group members, ay ten,
wanted to book a day to get together, they could spend that day working on their
specialty projects, trade at the end of the day, and everyone would go home with
nine different projects that someone else had made in addition to their own. Add
a pot luck lunch, or perhaps a celebratory grand finale with wine and cheese, and
you have the recipe for an enjoyable, productive day spent with friends. How
about that?
What's more, you can grin to yourself and feel a little smug a you watch other
people coping with crowds and cheesy canned Christmas music as they hurriedly
search for the elusive one-of-a-kind gifts you already have stashed away at home!
Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Weary Travelers
"Attention all passengers: Flight 1223
from Denver to Seattle has been delayed.
We apologize for the inconvenience." This
is not what we wanted to hear after riding
the hotel shuttle to the Denver International Airport. This was not the best news
after we had been standing in line for over an hour at the airline counter, just to
check-in. Our flight had been delayed three hours, which meant we would miss our
connection from Sea Tac to Eugene. We were all excited to celebrate Christmas
with my sister and brother-in-law at their home in Oregon. We were anxious to fly
during such a busy time of year, knowing other families would be making the same
journeys across the country. We were at the airlines' mercy and had to make the
most out of this inconvenient situation.
"Inconvenience" is not the best word to describe what my family was feeling
however. The look on my avid traveling father's face read, "Expected, but
nonetheless annoyed." My mom's face said, "Disappointed and tired." My husband's
face showed obvious signs of aggravation. The expression on my face only added
to their dismal outlook on the day, for I could not stop smiling.
I was smiling because our plans had changed ... out of my control, yet in my favor.
Although we were originally headed to Seattle with a short layover, our time there
had been extended. My best friend Mel lives near Seattle, and anytime we are in
the same time zone, we make an effort to see one another. We loved the idea of
meeting at the airport, if only for a quick exchange of words and a hug. With
increased airport security, we decided a hello and a high five between flights
simply did not make sense. I would just call her when we landed instead.
Then a call came over the intercom again, and it was our turn to approach the
counter to discuss travel options. The airline could put us on an early flight the next
morning or we could fly standby. We decided to take control of the situation, as
much as we could, and opted to rent a car in Seattle and drive to Eugene.
Finding a rental car was not easy, but we had four cell phones and three hours
at our disposal. Several companies had cars, but charged an extremely expensive
drop-off fee for not returning it to the pick-up site. Two companies were not
available, our roadside assistance service was experiencing a heavy volume of calls,
but finally, with much frustration, we located one company that had one car
available in downtown Seattle. We would be charged a normal rental rate, we were
welcome to drop it off in another location, and we had the reservation .. .if we could
get there before closing time.
I called Mel and asked her to take us downtown as soon as we landed. One
o'clock was our scheduled arrival time, but she worried that I had told her mountain
time, so she was there waiting when we touched down. The timing was perfect. I
walked out of baggage claim just as she drove by waving at us. We loaded up
ourselves and our bags as cheerful chatting drove us through the lines of traffic,
unaware of the less than enthused passengers in the backseat. At one point, I
turned around to see nothing but foreheads peering over the suitcases in the back
of her Chevy Cavalier. This only made us laugh harder as we followed the printed
directions to the rental car company.
We arrived within minutes of the doors locking for the day, and adrenaline kicked
in as we prepared for our drive on the interstate. With a sigh of relief and a key in
hand, we were finally moving at our own pace. We told Mel goodbye in the
parking lot, after snapping a few pictures, of course, which still make me laugh this
many years later. She and I are in our height of glory, five feet tall and on cloud
nine, grinning from ear to ear that we shared yet another memorable day together.
Before we left, she handed me a printed map, complete with drawings and
comments she had added, to help us complete the next leg of our journey.
Just like old Scrooge, some people need convinced that every moment is worthy
of celebration. "Bah! Humbug!" comes to mind when I see the picture of Mom,
Dad, and Chris- the picture that tells the inconvenient side of the story. The story
of tired, weary travelers in search of rest, ready to rejoice, reminds me of a much
greater account told in the scriptures. Christmas is a wonderful opportunity to
praise and glorify God. The birth of our savior, Jesus Christ, is worthy of celebration
every moment. Merry Christmas!

Cheesy Buffalo Dip
1 (8 oz.) cream cheese
1 /2 cup ranch dressing
1 /2 cup FRANK'S Red Hot Buffalo Wings Sauce
1 cup finely chopped cooked chicken
1 /2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Mix all ingredients and place in slow cooker.
Cover. Cook on low at least 1-1/2 hours. Stir
before serving. Great served with celery and
carrot sticks.
Materials Needed:
Container for arrangement
Waterproof container for foam such as:
foil loaf pans, plastic containers
Wet/fresh floral foam
Pruning shears/scissors
Assorted fresh pines such as: cedar,
white pine, silver fir, boxwood, spruce
Embellishments such as:
candles, berries, glass ornaments
Determine what type of container you would like to use for your arrangement.
If you choose an old wooden box, foil loaf pans work well to put the foam in.
For crocks, large plastic cups work well.

Place the foam in your waterproof container and thoroughly soak it by running
it under the faucet until it is saturated.
Starting with the cedar, cut little sprigs off and tuck into the wet foam going all
around your container. Try to push them in sideways, not straight up, at this
point. Randomly place Silver Fir on top of the cedar. For the next layer, I used
white pine. Take apart some pine roping and cut a few sprigs and place
randomly. Then add variegated boxwood/orgonia.
If adding a candle to the arrangement, put it in a glass container. Never have an
open flame around pine greens. Mason canning jars work well. At this point,
add your glass container and keep layering until you reach the desired effect. If
you choose not to have a candle, just keep layering the greens until your
container is filled. Go back and fill in nooks and crannies wherever needed.
Sprigs of white pine and boxwood are great fillers.
Embellish by tucking in sprigs of berries, glass ornaments, etc.

25th Annual Holiday O~en House
*
Sunday morning I took a brief detour during the church service to thumb
through the hymnal to look at the variety of Christmas songs included in the book.
I discovered there were songs about shepherds, angels, cows, sheep, mangers
filled with hay, stars, wise men, love, joy, peace and a newborn babe- but not one
single solitary reference of note of music dedicated to the fact that, without the aid o
a throng of angels to put the fear of God in the shepherds, or a bright star to captur
the attention of a trio of wise men, mankind had no room for that first Christmas morn.
I was intrigued by the realization that the beloved carols of the season cover ever
other aspect of the Holy event, yet leave a gaping omission of inherent oblivion.
Mankind chose, and continues to choose, to ignore its self-centered and egotistical
callousness rather than face it, or, heaven forbid, correct it.
This Christmas is no different, and we're no better.
Society gets so tripped up on the trappings and wrappings of Christmas that we
continue to have no room.
We focus so much attention on the commercial side of Christmas that our plastic
money is maxed out. We're shocked, insulted and embarrassed when a store clerk i
forced to reject a desired purchase because our credit account has no room.
We overindulge in rich gluttony until there's no other choice but to push away
from the table and loudly proclaim, "No room."
We keep such fast paced and stressful lifestyles our personal schedules allow
no room.
Will this be the year when we finally clear out some of the unimportant and
superficial clutter in our lives and allow ourselves to give and receive the precious
gift of love?
All it takes is a little bit of room.

Do these words surprise you every time they come out of your mouth?
If you are one of those people who does not feel like the kitchen is
your domain, coming up with something to bring to a holiday dinner
or party can be torturous! Never fear
- there is always an answer! If you
are not a cook, you can buy or order
an appetizer tray from your grocery
store. You can order a dessert from
your local bakery or even a favorite
restaurant. My favorite diner sells
amazing cheesecakes! Another
welcome contribution might be
paper products or drinks. A bottle of
wine will always be appreciated at a
holiday party! And don't forget the
best offer for a hostess - cleanup
help! Take it from me - I NEVER
tum down offers to help clean up
after a party! As my friend Carla
says, "the cleanup hour is the best time for late night snacking! "

When I first started quilting, most of my quilts were
made for charity or gifts to friends and family. My
skills would improve just through the practice of the
various types of quilts being made.
This season there are several show themes that motivated me to work on
multiple projects. A four-block challenge and use of EQ7 software
resulted in two entries. "Red Starry Night" got a judges' choice and a 2"d
place in the whole show.
fter taking my passion for quilting to a new level by
creating a business, I find myself with little time to
work on my own projects. Although some of my
clients are so trusting of my skills that they let me
experiment on their quilts, I personally prefer to
experiment on my own in case it doesn't work out.
Another show theme inspired me to get out a project but I ultimately
realized it didn't fit the theme since it was a book title and had a very
different meaning than the literal translation of the words. Although I was
well on the way to my finished project, I did some research on the book
and had an idea that developed into an exciting design. Both of these
projects are pushing my skills to new levels. Blog entries discuss these
projects in detail, so I hope you'll check them out.
Perhaps it's the engineer in me, but to just play on a blank piece of fabric
seems like a waste so I try to come up with something--or have an end
purpose for a project-that would allow me to be creative, push my
envelope of skills and learn something new. This elevates the stress and
desire to do it right the first time. It reminds me of when I used to take
flute lessons as a young person. I rarely had time for practice sessions, but
was taking instruction from a pro and he understood my academic
schedule and worked with me anyway. Each lesson was almost a sightreading challenge and often was a duet with him. I loved the pressure and
as a result excelled at sight-reading. Maybe it prepared me for my work
now.
This fall is show season with county fairs and local and regional quilt
shows happening nearby. Often, when I hear of the theme of a show, it
motivates me to get out a project I may have in my stash and work on it.
Do you like visiting National Parks? Did you realize that on August 25,
2016, the National Park Service will be lOOyears old? Let this be an event
that inspires you to create a beautiful quilt. You're being given ample time
to consider this idea and create something that pushes your skills and may
remind you of a trip you took with your family. In future articles I'll be
talking more about this initiative, but you're getting the first heads up here
to consider creating a special project.
Marlene Oddie is an engineer by education, project manager by profession and now a
quilter by passion in Grand Coulee, WA. She enjoys long-arm quilting on her Gammill
Optimum Plus, but especially enjoys designing quilts and assisting in the creation of a
meaningful treasure for the recipient. Follo w Marlene's adventures via her blog at

Dear Country Register Readers,
Fall is here and with it the promise of winter with open
houses and Christmas shows. Where do I find them? In my Country Register. The
landscape is turning those beautiful fall colors and with my paper in hand I headed
to Southern Ohio the other day.
SNOWMEN ARE HERE!
Let us help make your home all warm and cozy this holiday season!
We have beautiful trees, ornaments, wreaths, garlands, snowmen, santas,
and more snowmen, plus some really unique gift and party ideas!
The Ohio River is a beautiful sight especially in Wheelersburg where I visited the
Southern Ohio Craft Mall. I so enjoyed my visit there. So many things to see!
I've never seen so many different party supplies under one roof. No matter what
theme you might have for your party they have whatever you need to make your
party special. Candy making supplies made the store smell yummy when I walked
in the door. With the holidays coming making candy for people on your list would
be so nice. They have crafting supplies for your crafting needs from paints to
brushes and wood. There are lots of gift and home decor items to chose from and
of course my favorite, antique, collectible and vintage booths to browse.

The staff at the Southern Ohio Craft Mall is so very friendly. They treated me as
if they knew me and I had been a customer for years. They will make you feel so
welcome when you visit the Southern Ohio Craft Mall during the upcoming
holidays.
I was interested in seeing North Shore Primitives relaunch in Washington Court
House and was so thrilled to see all their great primitive displays. When I pulled
up the outside was decorated beautifully with lots and lots of fall. It really set the
primitive atmosphere that continued throughout the entire store. I really liked their
wonderful displays of handmades including pumpkins, crows, dolls and makedos.
I picked up some Olde Colonial paint while there and a few fall florals to decorate
my table with back at home. I can't wait to visit North Shore Primitives again this
holiday season to see what they will have to offer.
Then to finish my day I stopped at the Chillicothe Craft Mall in Chillicothe. I
always enjoy my visits there. Their vendors have really well stocked booths of
great gift items and home decor including Ohio State, jewelry, country linens,
antiques, painted wood shelves and country cupboards just to name a few things of .
what they have to offer in every aisle and booth. This would be a great place to do
your Christmas shopping. Friendly staff and really well displayed booths make the
Chillicothe Craft Mall a favorite destination of mine. I'll definitely be back during
the holidays.
Happy Holidays from the Country Register's Secret Shopper and wishing you a
very healthy New Year to you and your family. See you in 2015 with more visits to
the special shops you will find in your Country Register. Be sure to tell them you
