My Farmers Wife is finally complete:)
YaY!
I know I've posted about my progress about a bajillion times
because I've been working on it for quite a while.
Every time I had a break in between deadlines...
I would sew up a block or two.
And as I progressed I posted a few pictures ....
And a few more....
until I had all of them complete and laid out on the floor to arrange in order.
(by all of them...I mean 52...for the size of quilt that I made)
I showed you my sashing, borders, binding and backing fabric.
And even showed you when I almost had the top complete.
Now it feels good to be able to show it all finished!
As usual...
I hung it on my front room wall for a quick photo shoot
along side some of my vintagey collections.
It will eventually find it's home on my kitchen wall...
a fitting place for a farmers wife quilt I think!
I've loved making this quilt because as I have told you before...
I love making sampler quilts and I have made many over the years.
Even though I'm happy it's complete...
I must admit that I'll miss working on it:)
Tomorrow I have a
BIG announcement...
so stay tuned...
and don't forget to
have a quilty kind of day:)

I just LOVE your quilt. Maybe some day I will do a Farmer's Wife...
I also ADORE the vintage items you photographed with...particularly the dress form and the white cabinet. SOME DAY I am going to have a house full of 1930's colors and vintage items! You are my inspiration.

Your Farmer's Wife is absolutely gorgeous out of those fabircs. I finished one last year, but out of reproduction fabrics. I think that I'm going to have to make another one. Yours makes me happy to look at it!!
It`s absolutely awesome!
So much fun to see your quilt progress. The fabrics are wonderful. I was happy to see your vintage books; Mom bought me some of this series when I was a girl!
It is nice to see the finished project. It turned out just lovely. Thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous! I can't remember the last time I worked on mine. I'm terrible about making UFOs.
I love it.It looks amazing with these colors.
It is simply smashing and I love the fabrics, it. Make'sme want to do one.
Beautiful quilt and decorations.
Lori, it's beautiful. I created mine with 50 blocks and with your kind assistance I made those squares to arrange my blocks on. That worked out so well and SO helpful.
Plus, I use to have those books when I was MUCH younger.
Totally amazing! So vibrant! I love it!
It's great Lori, and looks "sew" good in your house !
It is amazing!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations on a fabulous finish! It is so pretty and perfect and precise! Love it!
Your quilt is stunning. It's been fun to watch it's creation. Jane
I love your quilt! But my eye was really caught by your McCoy pottery. I have material in blue, yellow and bricky red/rust for this quilt but maybe I should do it to match my McCoy collection!

I LOVE THAT QUILT. SOMEDAY.....I will make it!
Refresh my memory, does it say anywhere in the Bible that we are not supposed to covet thy neighbors quilts?!? Hope not, because I DO! I adore this quilt - it's fantabulistic! xoxo, Nan
It's fantastic! I love it.
Your quilt is beautiful! I also love the way it is staged. Do you have a photo album of your home!? It looks like it would be beautiful! Do you know the name of the paint color in this picture?
Lori, your Farmers Wife quilt is such an inspiration to me! Especially because yours is made of light and bright colors and is placed amongst vintage childrens books...all of which speaks to my heart. Thank you for sharing such a delightfully inspiring quilt!
The quilt is so pretty. I love the colors. Mostly I am making the little design boards you use they are so nice.
