fun. You get new ideas, new kits are available and you find new shops
that you don’t know were in business. So much fun and even better if you
go with friends. Many of these shops sell sewing machines and it’s a great
time to see the new machines.
Remember that these shops are small businesses; they count on us
buying from them and not from the chain stores. It’s really not a hard
decision when you see the quality of the fabric and understand that they
are willing to give guidance and help.When you’re at these shops check
out their list of classes. I’ve never taken a class that I didn’t learn a better
and easier way to do something.
Have a great fall and hope to see you at the Shop Hops and Quilt
Shows!
Our Search for Cover Artwork —
Across the U.S. and Canada, you can always tell The Country
Register by it’s cover. Our publishers seek to find cover art or photos
from the state the paper represents. To that end, we are seeking the
work of artists from Missouri to feature on our covers. The art must be
in good taste and consistent with the theme of the papers.
If you would like your work to be considered, please send an
email indicating your interest to countryregister@cox.net
About Our Cover Art...
John Rossini
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.”

Celebrating
30 Years
of Publishing
Part Six of Series by Barbara Floyd, Founder of The Country Register
Today I looked at the Feb-March issue of The Arizona Country Register
for 1993. This issue’s covers showed the artwork that was going to be
coming out on The Country Register Collection & Cookbook later that
February. One thousand of these spiral bound books were printed and it is
still my favorite go-to cookbook in my cupboard. That’s probably because
it is filled with lots of good family recipes compiled for family reunions and

for some exorbitant price. My own copy is priceless.
I see two ads from The Shops at Catlin Court that is part of Historic
Midwest Quilt Company Downtown Glendale, AZ. One is The Country Maiden and the other is
Bears & More. They are still operating in the same locations now 26 years
later and so congratulations go to both, not only for still being destination
Certified Instructor shops but also for supporting and supplying The Country Register to their
Studio 180 Design Tools • Stress-free Precision Piecing! customers. That is a real testimony of happy advertisers.
By April 1993, there were a few more publishers added to our

California and now California has one publisher combining the whole
state. By the very next issue in 1993, we added North Dakota, Virginia
and, because I had three of my four children living in S. E. Washington,
I started the paper there and published in Washington for many years.
By the next issue, we had a publisher in Hawaii and, by the end of year
1993, Florida was added to our list. The Florida edition, today, is always
more than forty pages packed with specialty shops, many of them related
to the quilting industry. For 10 years now, the Florida paper has been
published by Amy and Dave Carter whose names you see on many of
our Eastern U.S. editions. In fact, Amy’s parents, Merle and Gail Taylor,
started the Maryland edition about 22 years ago. As a family, they now
publish eight Country Register editions on the East Coast.
Heading into 1994, our list of publishers had grown to include
Nebraska-Iowa and Indiana. For many years now, Nebraska and Iowa
have had separate successful papers. The fun part about Nebraska is that
I was its publisher at the time I retired from publishing and my graphics
designer was from Nebraska. When Lolly Konecky, from Wahoo, Nebraska,
came to work for me, little did we know that down the road she and my
long time office manager, Barb Stillman, would partner to eventually
become the publishers of Arizona, Washington-S. ID, Oregon, Nebraska,
and The Antique Register (in Arizona only). As of the beginning of 2019,
they also have become owners of The Country Register, Inc., that licenses
the newspapers. They have added California as well as North and South
Carolina to their publishing list and they operate under Barlo Media.
This makes me officially retired. Some days I am just officially tired.
But then I have to remind myself that is probably normal when you are
looking at 80 years of age square in the face. How in the world did I ever
get to this stage so suddenly? Maybe it wasn’t so sudden. I was just busy
and happy and enjoying doing The Country Register for thirty of those
years and was not counting the years as they flew by.
This was to be a series of six articles—a year’s worth of stories. Maybe
the publishers and readers won’t mind if I just keep this series going on a
smaller scale. I just looked at the April-May 1994 issue for Arizona and it
was the first edition with full color on the front and back and centerfold—a
big milestone in printing. It was our annual “tea” issue and there were
eight tearooms in the Phoenix area advertised and featured….in full color
in that centerfold. It looks awesome! Our publishers’ list now extended this
issue to include S. Texas and my middle daughter, Barbra-Jean Skalleberg,
started The Country Register of Georgia.
Until next time, farewell.
Barbara Floyd enjoys her downsized lifestyle in Phoenix, AZ, and her visits to
see children, grandchildren and a great grandchild in Tri-Cities and Walla Walla,
WA, Cumming, GA, and Ft. Wayne, IN. She created and volunteers to put together

approaching, I decided to host a book exchange tea—one where we
could all share books we were willing to part with. Peggy’s granddaughter found a Seattle coloring book while Sylvia
chose the Green Tea book. Afterwards, I donated leftover books to the
Bookish Guests Senior Center library for them to enjoy.
I invited five bookish friends who love to read and write. These ladies

In keeping with the book theme, I included Peter Rabbit’s Carrot

but I was behind schedule. So the mother-daughter duo that arrived first
graciously prepared this recipe. You simply poke a hole in the wide end
of a baby carrot and stick in a sprig of parsley to look like the carrot is
growing. Then you plant the carrots in a bowl of hummus.
We also sipped Paris tea and Patriotic Punch made with red, white,

For the third course, I offered several desserts decorated with gummy
worms for the bookworms. The choices included slices of Lemon-Filled
Shortcake, squares of homemade Oatmeal Cake, Rosy Red Rhubarb
Dessert, and Peaches and Cream Cobbler from my cookbook. (See
recipe.) We sipped loose tea from Kenya, which I prepared with Masala
spices to make a delicious, spicy chai.

The Festival of Sharing
2019 QUILT AUCTION
Get out your needles and scraps, we’re having
a quilt auction! We will be auctioning some of the Hwy 36 Quilts plus
many other beautiful quilts. In 2018, the Quilt Auction was held as its
own event. 150 beautiful quilts and a free-will donation lunch helped
raise $20,683.50 for the CWS Blankets+ program (www.cws.global.org).
Individual quilt results may be viewed at http://www.festivalofsharing.org/
quilt-auction.html. The money raised helps people rebuild their lives after
disasters.
Please join us on October 26th, 2019 at Knights of Columbus in
Columbia, MO (2525 North Stadium Blvd, Columbia, MO 65202). The
day’s festivities will begin with a previewing and silent auction from 9:00-
11:30 a.m. During that time, you can also browse craft booths such as
Work of Our Hands. A free will donation lunch will begin at 11:00 a.m.,
followed by the auction at 12:30 p.m. At 11:30 a.m., volunteers will
begin taking the quilts down in preparation for the auction, so make sure
to have your viewing done prior to that time! Rather than having the
traveling quilt shows, a slideshow of the quilts will be available for viewing
at each Sharefest prior to the auction.
Please send quilts to 3601 Amron Court Columbia, MO 65202 prior
to September 1, 2019 with the attached form. We will accept donations
through the day of the auction, but we cannot promise that quilts received
after September 1st will be included in the online portion or slideshow
presentation.September / October 2019 The Country Register of Illinois and Missouri Southwest MO 11

Make:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
2. Place the butter in an ovenproof dish or baking pan (e.g., large cast-
iron frying pan, deep-dish glass pie pan, or an 8-inch square cake
pan). Place the pan with butter in the oven for a few minutes to melt
the butter. Watch carefully so the butter doesn’t burn.
3. Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4. Add the milk and vanilla to the dry ingredients and stir.
5. Spoon the batter in small spoonfuls on top of the melted butter to
cover as much of the butter as possible. Do not stir.
6. Place peach slices evenly on top of the batter.
7. If using fresh or unsweetened frozen peaches, sprinkle them with a
mixture of ⅓ cup sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
8. If using canned sweeten peaches, drain the peaches, place them
evenly on the batter, and sprinkle them with only cinnamon. The
batter will creep up over the peaches as it bakes.
9. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the cobbler is brown and a
toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
10. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
Makes 6 to 9 servings.12 Southwest MO The Country Register of Illinois and Missouri September / October 2019
