Marble Springs Statehood Day suffered a bit from the rain, but we stayed dry and helped multiple children enjoy choosing fabric.

I just want you to see this very young boy’s block. He might have been five. He chose fabrics himself, and when it came to the paisley, he actually removed his first piece of that fabric that was cut from a different place and replaced it with this one that he liked better because it is very symmetrical.
