Jo Kramer is a dedicated wife to her farmer husband, Roger, and mother to five children. Her constant desire to maintain a family-friendly career has led to her popular blog, Jo's Country Junction (www.joscountryjunction.com). She journals about Iowa farm life; audiobooks; delicious Midwestern food; her adorable beagle, Ruby; and, most importantly, quilting.
Kelli Hanken is Jo's oldest daughter and constant weekend companion. She and her beloved beagle, Puppycat, make regular appearances on the blog. A few years ago Kelli decided to exchange "sowing her wild oats" for sewing quilts, and she has been hooked ever since. She recently married her farmer husband, Jason. While she's busy sewing quilts and chalk painting, she's also pursuing a career in nursing.
