This looks like a fun BOM link if you've ever wanted to make an Amish quilt. I tried January's block and the instructions were very clear.

How nice of this guild to make them a free download,,

You are going to have to remind us each month that they are there...lol

Chele. have you been to their show? It looks easy enough to find off I-4.

Oh what a neat block. I printed it out...thanks for sharing :!:

Thanks for the link.

Moonpi, I've never been to any quilt shows! :oops: I do plan on attending this one though! It will be my first! Meet me over here and I'll buy lunch!

Going to do this Chele - thanks for posting. Love Amish quilts. May do the January block tonight.

Wish I could meet you and Moon at the quilt show!

I like it! Thanks for sharing, I'm gonna make one.

Thanks Chele! Don't know when I will get to it, but I've been wanting to do an one for a long time. This is a fun one to do a quilt. I am doing my second BOM through a local shop.

What a nice resource! Thanks for sharing.

Chele, I went to a local quilt shop this afternoon and purchased the fabric required for this BOM series.

I am one happy gal. Thanks for posting this site. It really is very interesting and I am truly thrilled to have this project.

I will call it my mental health project!!!

Piecefully yours,
Kay Susan

I'm a little slow as I just realized that you are in Orlando. My DH lived there for a number of years.

He finally moved back to the Upper Peninsula and we met 36 years after high school graduation. On Monday, we will celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary.

When we were in Orlando two years ago we saw the LaNumba presentation by Cirque at downtown Disney. The show was terrific.

One day I'll never regret is the day I spent by myself at the Orlando Museum of Art viewing the Gee's Bend Exhibit. I was there when the doors opened for the day and managed to relax, read the catalogue and view the exhibits. Ahhhhhhh......

I won't be traveling this winter due to medical restrictions and having used
up all of my sick leave and vacation days thus far during medical leave.
Hopefully, things will get straightened around here and DH will be able to travel to Orlando to see his son. We have beautiful grandchildren who would enjoy seeing Grandpa :)

Piecefully yours,
Kay Susan

Thanks Chele, this looks like a great site!!!

Chele, I made two blocks today of the January posting.

The colors I chose are saturated jewels, but not typical Amish as the colors have some patterns and the overall result is more contemporary.

It's exactly what I wanted as the result.

Thanks for posting this link. Once I can use the camera and post a pix, I'll contact you, again.

Piecefully yours,
Kay Susan

ksusan, so happy you liked the BOM site. I can't wait to see your blocks! Amish quilts are so striking and bold. I just love them.

Regretfully, I missed the Gee's Bend exhibit. I wasn't interested in quilting then. One day maybe I'll be lucky enough to see it.

KSusan please post your blocks - would love to see them. I need to get the fabric for this - going to my LQS where I got gift certificates. Will go on Saturday while the house is being shown.

Chele that is a pretty block, just what my Spring Sampler needs! :D Are you a member of that Guild?

It goes nice and quick too, I just did mine. :)

No, I'm not a member, but I've thought of joining!

I'm going to try to follow this BOM. I just hope my "ADD" doesn't get in the way. :lol: I tend to get side-tracked and quit things mid-stream. Hopefully, the reminders will keep me focused.

Chele you sound like me. Enjoy the quilt show. :D

This computer klutz can't get this one to come up. I had succeeded with the January block. {{{{{{{{{{{help}}}}}}}}}}} :oops: :oops:

Awesome thanks for sharing!

Yikes! February is already up? Sorry you were having trouble seeing it.

Maybe downloading the attachment will help?

Thank you Chele

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have just printed this out :) :-) :D :lol:

Piecefully yours,
Kay Susan

Thanks for letting us know the February block is up. Hope to get the fabric tomorrow.

The March block is up for anyone following this BOM:

:D

Chele,

I am doing these too. I agree with you on the January block. I haven't tried Feb. yet, have you? Next week is my week to do BOMs. I am doing 4!

judee

beachlady,

Your house is being shown? Why?
Do you go to Kathie's Quilt Shop in Sanford? I get her newsletters.


judee

heh ! thanks for the link.. interesting site.. I like the Amish blocks. I can use my thangles on these.. the two triangles for one square.. interesting way to arrange them. I have some fabric in my stash already.. need the black.. how much black should I buy for this? black has a shade to it.. so I would like it to be from the same bolt.

ellen

Chele,
WOW, March is up already!!!! I finally got my fabric and have yet to finish January.....I better get moving...... :mrgreen:

Here is the yardage info: http://www.floridacabinfever.com/pdfs/2009/fabric.pdf

Looks like 1-1/2 yards of the black. Try it, you'll like it!

I'm gonna try and do this one too...but I've printed the blocks off to do latter....as time lets me.....So pretty!

It is a terrific show. At Central Florida Fairgrounds. Easy to find. Great bunch of ladies.

Hello dear fellow quilters,
On my computer, I came across (in my overloaded list of projects to attempt) the downloads for an Amish look-alike quilt in 2009. I have the 'Fabric cutting' AND the BOM's 'Jan through July' for "A Touch of Amish" (Finished 54” x 69”). Then I wondered why I hadn't downloaded the remaining months...ah, yes...my younger sister became sick, I left for D.C. and she passed away in Aug. 2009.

So, my question is... does anyone have the 2009 Aug. through Dec. BOM .pdf files that s/he would be willing to share? If so, let me know... Can they be shared on this board? or Private Message me and we can do an email?

Thank you for looking through your files.
Regards,
cpfrog

All I could get to come up is Feb's
Any chance I could get any other no please?
I keep trying the links but it doesn't come up....help! Thanks!

All I could get to come up is Feb's
Any chance I could get any other months, please? It states page is missing when I try to hit link on any months.
I keep trying the links but II won't come up....help! Thanks!

How do I get the pattern?
Followed the link - went to BOM - and that is as far as I can get.

I have one file with all the blocks in it. PM me with your email and I will send it to you. Make sure you say it is the Florida Cabin Fever - A Touch of Amish that you want.

One of these days I am going to get around to making it, but use batiks. It should be a really pretty quilt.
