These are the only photos I took during the program but I like this simple layout and she had the smaller ones for examples in other colors. Love the little pinwheels in the sashings! I think I’ll work on this pattern …. another day! 😉

From show & tell —

Her (in turquoise) SECOND Farmer’s Wife quilt in less than 12 months (can we say high-strung??). This is from fabrics given to her when someone’s (M. W-F.) mother died. The quilt is for the granddaughter of the lady that died. How sweet is that???? I love this! The back has a LARGE applique design, too. Beautiful! And I know the daughter who gave the fabrics from church. 🙂

In lieu of a tshirt quilt, Miss InPink, was asked to make a quilt from…

dance costumes!!

OIY!!!

And then cranked out this stunner in just a few weeks!! The costume pieces are shiny & glittery. We all loved the fabrics she added. It is sooo pretty!!

And this old top, recently quilted…. we were all gasping….

and then she said the strip-pieced sections are cheater-cloth!! None of us believed it. Very pretty!!

Hoping to have an online garage sale of stuff from my sewing room this weekend. Stay tuned!! 😉

One day (or maybe I should say, one year) I’d really like to make a Farmer’s Wife quilt. Though I’d want to do it in very bright colors. It does look interesting.

And dance costumes? I simply cannot imagine. But, she did a wonderful job. It looks stuning.

Hey, Joyce-this is Kimbo from SL. I recently started a wordpress blog, & I can’t figure out how to get those buttons/tabs you have at the top of your blog on mine. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks! http://healthylivingforapurpose.wordpress.com/

I love the dance costume quilt. I think I will hold onto my girl’s dance costumes and try it. Of course, I don’t have much time for quilting right now. I will one day though.
