I saw you asking if anyone had read this book. I too, was intrigued with it and purchased it. Then, one of my favorite quilt shops said they were doing a BOM with it. They used EQ to put the patterns into paper pieced patterns instead of using the templates - well that can't be hard, I thought. I'm in my 2nd month and ready to pull my hair out! As usual, I'm sure I'll be pleased with the end product which will be for ME and only ME!Everyday Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08686301927936528783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8408237466680431412.post-84193511564527916802010-03-03T11:03:33.544-06:002010-03-03T11:03:33.544-06:00I've read the letters, quite inspiring, but ha...I've read the letters, quite inspiring, but haven't started working on any blocks.

Said, friend and I had numerous discussions about the book and the little blocks... WELL, friend has ordered me a copy of the book and is encouraging me to do this quilt as a legacy to my daughter and write her a letter about being a farmers wife, etc. I REALLY do want to do this quilt but, have determined it will be a project I take my time doing (probably years) and one day when my daughter has years of being "the farmers wife" I will give her the quilt with my letter.<br /><br />I actually whet into friends favorite quilt shop and was ready to buy the fabrics, similar to those used in the book and the shop owner discouraged me...she said I should do this quilt in my daughters colors so she would enjoy it more. Doing it in the colorways of the book would probably just make a quilt she would keep in her cedar chest and not one she would use and love. My idea...is to sneek a few shirts from her family and incorperate them into the quilt.kimlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02135982436514082328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8408237466680431412.post-50838088181543792982010-03-01T19:39:05.271-06:002010-03-01T19:39:05.271-06:00it looks like a good book. ill have to check it o...it looks like a good book. ill have to check it out.
