In Love!

Have you ever made a quilt that you love so much that every time you see it you just have to smile and giggle because you made that quilt?
This is mine!

The Farmer's Wife Quilt

First allow me to say I never would have been able to accomplish this quilt without the wonderful

Her classes were essential to my success. It is not too late for you to make a Farmer's Wife Quilt. You can find all the information you need on Karen's Blog

OK, Picture heavy, sorry, no actually I am not sorry!

Had to get outside as we are expecting snow tonight or tomorrow!











 This is how I quilted the border. I am not sure it is sowing in the picture.





 I am going to use this girl all the time!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I hope you do something you love.

    I can safely say that I didn't get overloaded with pictures. It is truly a gorgeous quilt. Love your pink border, too. Do you hand-quilt all your quilts? Do you use a frame? I'm very close to beginning my Farmer's Wife - yep, I joined Karen's Facebook group - my first. Your quilt has really made me feel antsy about getting 'this show on the road'!!

    Good morning Jane....This is such a comfy,cozy and old fashioned pretty quilt, and I can understand your attachment to it. It just says "come crawl under me and I will keep you nice and toasty". It doesn't look as if we got any snow overnight, but is supposed to start around now and continue till around 3 this afternoon. I don't know where in IL you are, but we are in Yorkville and it hasn't begun yet. lv2bquilting2@comcast.net

    Rosemary B here
    So adorable. Did you hand quilt it?
    It is big and cute. One day I wil finish a quilt for me.
    I hope you are snuggling under your quilt right now looking at that snow.... are there teen agers roaming the neighborhood looking for driveways to shovel?

    ......Gosh that is a beautiful blankie

    You are the happiest farmer's wife in the country! Such a bright, happy, pretty farmer's wife quilt I have never seen before. I just knew it was going to be a beauty. It is sure to keep you and farmer cozy for many crop seasons! LoL I love that you took so many pics of this quilt.

    GORGEOUS! Mine is still sitting in a basket with the top complete. Maybe I should dig it out and figure out how I am going to quilt it...

    Your FW looks wonderful. Kudos. I still haven;t made that recipe yet, having trouble finding Butter flavor extract! Will probably have to order it on the web.
