Blog Hop Party with Give-Aways

It's Blog Hop Party time and I have a great Give-Away for you.


I am giving away a copy of the book
The Farmer's Wife
Sampler Quilt

I've made two versions of this quilt so I know you will enjoy making your own.  In one I used civil war repro fabric and in the other I used 1930's fabric. 


This book comes with a CD to print out all templates needed. 

To enter this give-away, just become a follower of my blog.

This Give-Away ends on March 23rd, 2012.  All followers of this blog will be eligible to win.  I am willing to ship internationally.  As a bonus I will include a fat quarter to get you started.

Good Luck!!!

Until Next Time.....Happy Stitching!!!

I would be thrilled to win this book-- and although I am sure it would take me a while, I would SO love to make one of these quilts... the hardest part for me would be deciding whether to use Civil War or 1930's reproductions-- because I love them both! :-) Thank you so much for the chance to win!

    1. Hi Kim,

      My Civil War repro fabric version is completely pieced and ready to be quilted. I probably won't get to it until this summer. The blocks of my 1930's version are complete. I am adding the sashing and cornerstones as a leader/ender project. It should be complete and ready to be quilted in a few weeks. I don't usually post pictures of my quilts until they are quilted so check back in a few months. Thanks for checking out my blog.
