FARMER'S WIFE SAMPLER QUILT {WEEK#2}

 

WOW!

I didn't think that I was going to make it this week!

We actually had our Spring Break two weeks ago

and

this week is a short week

because of Easter Break.

 

This meant that my week

was spent

preparing for the class Easter Party.

Let's just say...

lots of eggs & cupcakes

have made their way through my house.

 

So with everything going on,

my project table looked like this

for several days:

 

 

THE OUTTAKES {FARMER'S WIFE QUILT BLOCKS}

 

The other day

I posted the first installment of my

Farmer's Wife Quilt Blocks HERE.

 

 

What I didn't show you were

the OUTTAKES of my blocks

(AKA-Messed Up/Ooops Blocks).

 

 

 They might look like the original blocks

BUT

I have jumped

on the

Bloglovin'

wagon.

Until Next Time ... Happy Quilting

 

See what is new in my SHOP!

 

 

 

FARMER'S WIFE SAMPLER QUILT {I GAVE IN...}

{WARNING----PHOTO INTENSE POST} 

 

COMPLETED Farmer's Wife Quilts have been popping up everywhere

in Blogland.

Bloggers have been working on this quilt forever!

When I first saw the quilt blocks/quilts,

I just didn't think that it was

a project for me.

So I happily admired them from afar.

 

THEN

Mrs. Lori of Bee In My Bonnet

started the Quilt Barn revolution.

 

I made my first Quilt Barn Block here:

 

THEN,

I was hooked on making those 6" blocks!

I loved them so much

that I gave in and started my own

Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt!

 

MY WEEK IN AN INSTANT {PHOTOS FROM MY INSTAGRAM}

 

 

I love using Instagram!

{You can find me on Instgram @LilLdyPatchwork}

 

It is so quick and easy to just

post a quick photo

and a little blurb.

 

I love it so much that

I sometimes

forget to post things on my blog!

I hate that because

this is my little journal of "my stuff/my life".

 

Here are a few behind the scenes photos

of what's been going on

at Little Lady Patchwork:

After mulling over

my barn roof,

I decided to stick with  my original plan!

 

 

That was the easy part.

 

It was the barn quilt that gave

me a

FIT!

Modern Quilters

from all around descended upon

Alas, this Little Lady didn't get to attend (this time)!

 

However,

Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and blogs everywhere

were filled with photos

of beautiful, modern quilts.

Inspiration and color were EVERYWHERE!

(so much that this Little Lady was a bit jealous)

from him again!}
