Prairie Home Companion Floor Mat


I photographed this floor mat at the bottom of the basement stairs a while ago at an open house. I blocked out the owners' name. It was probably one of those promotional bonuses for contributing to NPR. Sometimes I sometimes listen to a little bit of Garrison Keillor on Prairie Home Companion when it begins on Saturday nights before I turn off the radio and switch to the television.
I thought this might be a good thing to stencil for DIY Christmas gifts or housewarming presents. All you would have to do is fill in the family name after you get the original pattern made. You could also make something to frame on your printer as well. What are you doing with all of those fonts anyway? This would be a good project to use some of them, wouldn't it? Have fun.

I listen to Prairie Home Companion saturday mornings while running errands. The show is always good for a chuckle.

Agreed. I've listened to quite a few of his humorous stories via audio books from the library. Webster likes him too!

I thought the mat was great too.
Tell MOTH he can listen to the podcasts from Lake Wobegone via NPR.

I hope this works in Australia and it probably will.
