Chali: did you ever get your copy of The Farmers Wife Sampler Quilt book? I just got an email from Nancy's Notions and Connecting Threads. They both have the book on sale (I didn't check the prices) so you might want to look there. This is the first "group" quilt I've participated in and I can't tell you how much I've learned and I've been quilting for years. Hope you join us!!
