The Farmer's Wife Quilt-A-Long
organised by Angela and Amanda. I read about it first on Sherri's adorable blog A Quilting Life.
I'm planning on working at my own pace, maybe only one block a week, and I've promised myself that I'm only going to use my stash. I just ordered the book on line so I've got a bit of time to delve into my piles of fabric, while I wait for it to arrive.
There's already a great Flickr group. I guess I've got another 111 blocks to put on my To Do List.
Snap Melody!!! I borrowed this self same book from the library and I was thinking that most of the blocks looked quite manageable (famous last words here!!!)I am still undecided whether to do them or not but I shall be interested in your progress...
ReplyDeleteit will be interesting to watch your progress Mel,i was tempted but i must finish the quilts i have on the go lol
ReplyDeleteI wish I could play too! Maybe when I get home from my holiday ! Look froward to seeing your blocks!
ReplyDeleteShould be a great project to work on. Very challenging.

What a wonderful project. I was enticed by the blocks I have seen around blog land but alas I must finished everything else before I embark on another quilting adventure.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to have found your blog, love it here. I have yet to try quilting but you make me want to give it a try, if I can find some spare time!! Love your Teddy Bear's Picnic too :) I'm having a giveaway for one of my Embroidery Patterns if you fancy hopping on over to my Blog, Catherine x
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful quilt. I've had the book for several months now & still haven't started it. :) I follow her blog & want her new book when it comes out. So tempted to join the quilt a long. happy Stitching,
ReplyDeleteThe book looks great. Love to read their stories. I can't find where to order it. The only thing I could find mentions august 2011. It's tempting! Definitely love to get the book!
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely quilt and I was tempted but had to put the thought out of my mind until I get through a few of the ones I already have. I've been collecting blocks for a Civil War quilt from Barbara Brackman and Birdie Stitcheries from Little Miss Shabby. Good luck with reducing your stash!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea. I look forward to seeing the colours you choose!
ReplyDelete111 more blocks to add to your To Do list sounds rather daunting but it should be a lot of fun in the process! I have also recently bought the Farmers Wife book so will watch your progress with interest :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, it will be lovely in those colors. I see some Prince Charming fabric in the block. I am using some of that too.
