I have some quilty thoughts rummaging around in my head. I'm trying to gather them up, put them on a new site and share with you....and it has to do with The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt.
I guess this means i will be stitching another FW. These are my new colorways...i may not use the very darkest brown shown here...undecided at the moment. I would like to stick with 3 colors plus one white fabric and only and a few fabrics in each colorway.
Block 1 Attic Windows
As these ideas are being gathered up in my mind....chewed on, slept on, dreamed about and shared with my family, very unexpected doors open. I have been offered to teach The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt beginning in October at a local shop. The shop owner has asked me to display my FW quilt (below) at the Northwest Quilt Expo this September in Portland. These two unexpected opportunities only fan my gathered quilty thoughts of enthusiasm and hopefully soon i can share.
In the meantime....get ready for Round Two!
Wonderful my bloggy friend!! Sounds like some fun times coming for you. Nice fabrics......but I have one question.....................................

ReplyDeleteI what to finish Barbara Brackman's Civil War quilt from last year then I intend to make a Farmer's wife quilt - I've got the templates cut out!
Wonderful and well deserved Karen! I will follow you on your new FW journey. Maybe I'll tag along with you. I've always wanted to make one like your first one. I wish I lived closer so I could take your class.
ReplyDeleteWow, another one! I am trying to get the nerve up to do my first. Your first is absolutely beautiful! Are those just 6" blocks? They look bigger and I love it. Can't wait to see #2!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are teaching another FW online. I wrote earlier andtold you of my experience with FW. I started a multicolor, then started a red and white and so on. You encouraged me to finish both and I am encouraging you on your adventure. You go girl!!!!
ReplyDeleteHas seleccionado unos hermosos colores para tu quilt, me encantan! Felicitaciones por la nueva actividad de enseñanza, es una gran experiencia.

I love the look of the first finished Farmers Wife Quilt. The colours you picked for the 2nd one are very sophisticated! When i finish my first one i will start another one too. But then in the loud and proud colours so to speak. I will most definately track your progress on this one and cant wait to see the first one quilted!
ReplyDeleteKaren, you are one brave lady, I did start my FWQ but didn't like my fabric choices, so I will start again one day, but I am curious as to what method you use?
ReplyDeleteI love your first Farmers Wife quilt! It's gorgeous! And I'm loving the fabrics you've chosen for your second one. And Hooray for dreams and quilty thoughts! I think it's all going to be fantastic! Can't wait... ooxx`jodi
