Rediscover the charm, grit, and creativity of prairie life—one project at a time.

 Whether you're a lifelong fan of Laura Ingalls Wilder or simply drawn to the timeless appeal of handmade living, The Prairie Girl’s Guide to Life invites you to step into the world of frontier-inspired crafts, skills, and traditions.

 With warmth and wit, Jennifer Worick shares 50 delightful projects that blend old-fashioned know-how with modern sensibilities.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

 • Sew a sampler quilt and stitch prairie-perfect embroidery. 
 • Make bread-and-butter pickles and churn your own butter. 
 • Craft a rag rug, mix up homemade beauty remedies, and even win a spelling bee. 
 • Speak prairie slang, sing a lullaby, and embrace the spirit of self-reliance. 

 Part how-to manual, part nostalgic celebration, this book is a heartfelt tribute to the ingenuity and resilience of pioneer women—and a playful guide for anyone who wants to bring a little prairie magic into their everyday life.
