The Farmers Wife Sampler Quilt
Well I did it, I bought the book!!!!! I'm very excited about this.
We did a quick trip to Anchorage, AK this past week (which included 4 quilt shops...wahoo!) and I picked up my own copy of this book and CD...yay. I've read part of it already and am contemplating my scrap bag for ideas.
Part of me is thinking that I should look at a certain style of fabric...romantic? civil war? 30s reproduction? modern?
Another part of me is considering using my scraps only and having a truly eclectic quilt.
Its a big decision as this will be a many year project for me. Something to do between quilts. I figure if I could get out a block or two each month, I will be able to keep going.
I've really enjoyed catching glimpses of blocks people have done on various blogs and here at the board...but I've always hesitated from hitting "buy it now" when I look at the book on amazon. When I saw it sitting on the shelf in Anchorage I didn't hesitate, just made up my mind to do it. So impulsive I know!
BTW, thoroughly enjoyed visiting the various shops, and seeing the quilts that were going to be made in the fall quilting class sessions. There were a few I wish I lived close enough to take!
