Farmers Wife Quilt Along

When I opened the shop in October 2014 one of the quilts I wanted to do in the shop is the Farmers Wife.  I have done a lot of research on the quilt.  I have two groups who meet monthly.  We started the quilt along in January, and we made two blocks that month, and the ladies decided they wanted to make more than two blocks a month so we are now making four blocks a month.  The ladies have enjoyed making the blocks, and reading the stories.  I will continue to post our monthly progress, and maybe it will inspire you to do a farmers wife quilt of your own.

January Blocks











February Blocks











March Blocks











April Blocks











In June 2015 there is going to be a new Farmers Wife coming out, and the blocks are going to be about Farmers Wife from the Depression.  I will be hosting a quilt along next year on that book as well.

Spring has sprung

I have to apologizes for not posting regularly on our blog.  I have been rather busy, and so has the shop.  We have some exciting classes planned in April.  There are some beginner level classes, and advanced level classes.  I will have my shop at the Clarkston Quilt Show April 25th & 26th .  How exciting our fist show with the shop.  I am going to try to keep up better with our blog, and keeping you in the loop of happenings going on at the quilt shop.
