Snakes in Missouri

Don’t know much about snakes in Missouri except that more of them have been sighted this summer here in Cape Girardeau. A few weeks ago, I sighted one too: In my living room. Ran to get the camera, took a picture, then moved the curtain, and at that point the snake started moving and I hopped out of sight to get my phone. (Knowing that only about 30 people die of snake bites in the US every year, I am not too scared of them but when one moves towards me, i guess instinct kicks in and I start running.) When I came back, the snake had disappeared. I only hope it left through an open balcony door. The strange thing is, the day before the snake event, I had begun working on a tree of life quilt block. Here are pictures of both.

About Me

Hi, while I’m still learning how to create a fully functioning blog, I’d like to introduce myself in a post. I live in the American heartland, in a little town called Cape Girardeau. The town lies by the Mississipi river and has the dubious distinction of being Rush Limbaugh’s hometown. But that’s not why I’m here. I decided to start this blog to share my love of quilting and all things arts and crafts with others. I’ve loved doing creative things all my life and it seems that now that I am entering midlife, doing creative things is all I want to do. As far as I can tell at this point this site will be mostly devoted to all things fabric and things you can create with it. I hope to soon share pictures, ideas and tutorials on this blog and hope to find some like minded creative souls. Have a great day, sincerely yours, Heartlandquilter

Ich dachte mir ein blog waere mal eine gute Idee, um so besser Kontakt zu haben. Ich muss erst lernen, wie dieses Ding funktioniert und werd erst mal sehen, ob ich ein paar Bilder hochladen kann. Leider stellen sich die Bilder nicht so hin wie geplant. Muesst ihr mal draufklicken, groesser sehen die ganz interessant aus.

Viel Spass.

Flut am Flohmarkt, wenn man von Cape ueber die Bruecke faehrt.
