Anna Oates is a woman who loves to work with her hands. She's one of the more crafty people you could ever hope to meet in your life!
She's one of those people who can make just about any kind of cool knick knack, and she probably has a million and a half recipes for her Crockpot! "I enjoy creating things," she said with a smile.
But 30 years ago she began a simple project that, over the years, grew and grew and grew into something absolutely astounding! What started as a little needle-point piece slowly became her most incredible wonder.
She kept working on it, and kept giving up at it. It was a tedious needle-point pattern in the back of a magazine she came across back in 1979. She always figured that she'd never actually end up completing the thing. But in 2009 she realized she was finally done, and as she looked at her masterpiece she felt a true sense of pride and accomplishment!
She decided to show it to her new doctor, and when he saw it he insisted that she take it to the county fair to be officially judged, so she did just that! And when she came back a few weeks later, the response she received blew her mind.
