I love retail therapy at the local quilt store....

I've been wanting to add to my stash for the Farmer's Wife Sampler quilt...and I found out my local quilt store was going to be carrying the entire line of Bonnie & Camille's Happy-Go-Lucky line of fabric from Moda.  I was very excited...because I knew I wanted to be able to financially support the local quilt store by purchasing a fat quarter of the entire line.  I love retail therapy at the local quilt store!  And...tomorrow is Sunday...and I'm going to be in the craft room with my sewing machine humming! Can't wait!

In the beginning...

In the beginning...I wasn't sure about color combinations for the Farmer's Wife quilt blocks.  The 1st block I made didn't have any white tone-on-tone fabric...and it turned out okay, but it didn't have an enduring quality about it.  The 2nd block I made with white tone-on-tone...then it popped out...I really liked it.  So I ripped the 1st block apart and added some white...ahh...I really like it now...

I've made a decision...

As of a couple of weeks ago...I still hadn't made a decision on which fabric collection (Civil War or Bonnie & Camille) to make my Farmer's Wife quilt...then it dawned on me...I will need a little variety since I'm currently working on the Small Steps Quilt out of Civil War scraps.

As a result, I'm changing the fabric collection to Bonnie & Camille's selection.  Yes, I will admit that seeing Camille's blocks did persuade me...I loved the light and cheery fabrics from their selection...I really like the change...it's going to be fun!

I haven't sewn the first block, yet...so check back!  Also, I'm hoping to lock myself in the craft room later today!  Yippeee!

Hope you have an amazing day...
