It's done, it's done!!!Yesturday I was on a "Mini Retreat" with the Pride of the Prairie Quilt Guild. It was an all day event. (9 am to 9 pm) I finished my Farmers Wife quilt. I am so pleased with it. Now off to be quilted. What a feeling of satisfaction.
I arrived at the retreat about 10:00 and set to work on the finishing of this quilt. I had a lot of it set together already, There were still 25 blocks to add on. Then I just decided to put only a blue border on it. Nothing fancy. I like how it turned out. The rest of the evening I bound two quilts. Now to do the hand stitching on the binding. Also, worked on some block pieces for another 30's scrap quilt. What a day, no phones, no interruptions, just sewing. It was great. Quilt bee is on Tuesday night and Pride of the Prairie Quild is on Thursday night. I have show and tell!!!!

Congratulations. Wonderful. I have struggled to finish just one of the "Farmer's Wife" blocks to no avail. I just need more patients and perhaps more know-how.
What a lovely quilt. Trish

Oh my gosh it is amazing. I love blocks set on point. This is a very complex quilt. You've done an amazing job.

Oh my goodness I have this book and I just love it - I haven't seen many completed ones from it so I'm thrilled to see yours. Congratulations! blessings, marlene
Interesting to see your quilt. I just received the book in the mail today.
Truly stunning. Tons of work but such a sense of accomplishment at the end. This is a real heirloom.
Your FWS is really a pretty quilt. Very fresh looking. I have the book, but haven't started the blocks yet...now after seeing your Sweet quilt I may have to use 30's fabrics.
What work...what detail...what a lovely quilt.
congrats on finishing your quilt. It is fabulous.
Your little mug rugs are cute too.
Lucky girl, getting to hang out at Primitive Gatherings.
thanks for coming by my blog. Merry Christmas.
Oh,Mary, your Farmer's Wife quilt is lovely and I like it on your header too. I haven't bought the book as I'm struggling to finish my Dear Jane and my Civil War Diary quilt. I love these blocks and these books and I want to finish them. Hopefully, in 2011 I can get more done on them. Merry Christmas!
