An evening with Mike O’Dell, founder of Legit Kits

Last year, while teaching at a retreat in OKC, Mike stopped by for dinner. He got about three bites down before the questions started rolling, and he was more than happy to answer them! We had a great time, and I'll be back at Wagon Wheel Ranch Retreat in April. You can register for the April retreat here:

Just got the pattern for the Cardinal. I’d hoped to make more than one…but after seeing how many close shades of mostly reds and some blues…I probably should have bought the kit!!! Just sayin’!
