Before you go... i want to share a few reviews on my classes.
I asked some quilters who have purchased my classes if they would consider writing a review for me.
Some purchased all 6 classes, completing 60 blocks, while others only have a couple classes purchased with a handful of blocks finished. I wondered...would they go the distance?
Here's what Nancy said:

I have been asked to write a testimonial for The Farmers Wife Revival Classes by Karen Walker, I not only said yes, but my original testimonial was so long, I posted it on my blog. Here is the short version. Would I recommend Karen’s classes? In a heartbeat, YES! Because of her clear and well written instructions, I have been able to create blocks that I looked at before and thought that they were too complicated. Blocks that have 49 pieces in them are now as easy as doing a simple 9 patch. My accuracy as improved and in most cases, the back of my blocks are as perfect as the fronts! So would I recommend her classes? YES, in a heartbeat!!

I have done very little piecing, so this is all new to me. Your instructions are very concise and easy to understand. You have made something that looks extremely complicated and overwhelming achievable, even to a beginner, by breaking it into skill building segments. I would never have known where to begin!! Thanks for the journey!! I love that you are so available for questions or input!
Thank You,

April is kind enough to allow me to use her Farmer's Wife photo collage for Class 7 (coming out July 7th)
Barbara says:
Two years ago my first grandchild was born. I made him a simple quilt, the first sewing I had done in many years. I enjoyed it, so took a beginner quilting class. Since then I have made a few more baby quilts and one block of the month through a local quilt shop. While looking for my next challenge I was attracted to examples of the Farmers Wife quilt on Pinterest. I got the book but was discouraged by the templates and the complexity of the blocks. Then, just at the right moment, I discovered Karen's classes. I have completed 3 sets so far, and have found the cutting instructions and sewing instructions to be flawless and easy to follow. Since I am still a basic learner in quilting I appreciate her organizing the months from easiest to most difficult, giving me a chance to gradually learn new techniques as I go. For me 10 squares per month is just the right amount. Thanks, Karen!
And from Jane...
I do not know about you but I like to have many projects going at one time. How I happened to miss the Farmer's Wife Quilt Along when it first came out I do not know,
BUT
I was thrilled to see that Karen has a Farmer's Wife Reveal Class .
I jumped right in with both feet!
Bought my book and then headed to Karen's for her class.
I am on my 6th month of her classes and have learned so much from all her tips and techniques .
I love how class one starts out easy, class two, a bit more is learned and so and so on.
It is not overwhelming as she offers ten or so blocks a month.
You also get extras, such as a table runner,a table cloth, and a lap size quilt pattern!
AND THIS!
The Magic 8 Technique is amazing and without it making these blocks would take twice as long.
I could have never made this block without the Magic 8 Technique.
I am not a template girl so her step by step instructions are wonderful.
If you have a question, and I did, she will get you the answer.
If you have always wanted to try your hand at these blocks this is the way to do it stress free.
I love Farming and cannot wait for every month so I can learn more and build my farm. This is what I have made to date with Karen.
Join the fun and start your farm today!
And my final review comes from Sharon...
I had been following Karen Walker’s blog,
“laugh yourself into stitches” for some time when she offered a monthly class,
“Farmer’s Wife Quilt Revival”. I wanted
to make the quilt for a long time but the aspect of making lots of 6 inch
squares intimidated me greatly. Even
after more than 20 years of quilting, I didn't feel confident enough to take
the plunge on my own. I really liked the
fact knowing
1) I could use my own fabric/scraps, 2)
would receive step by step instruction for each and every block, and 3) could
purchase each class separately rather than committing to the entire project as
in a BOM. I could do a class or two and should I discover I didn't have the skills necessary, could just drop out - no harm done.
For me it was a “win” “win” situation.
It is amazing how easy the blocks are
coming together. I've learned many new
time saving methods to construct the blocks making it easy and
fun. The diagrams are well drawn and
instructions concise and well written.
The new methods I've learned, such as “the magic 8” with Karen’s series
will be used by me from this day forward.
I’m more than pleased with the results and would recommend any quilter,
at any level of experience, purchase the “Farmer’s Wife Quilt Revival”
individual classes.
I am so happy I took the leap with Karen’s
instructions and look forward to each new month. Thank you, Karen.
