Christmas at Farmer's Country Store

I know Christmas is over and it's between the holidays. If you were unable to make it into the shop, here are a couple of pictures of the shop during Christmas.

American Vintage fabric

We just added new fabric to the website, "American Vintage". It's reminiscent of the 1950's era. I can see it as a great teacher quilt, a young child's quilt, or for those remembering when.

Winter Fun Nite

We have just completed the sample for the Fun Nite Class on November 19. Make it a girl's night out and enjoy making the "Night Before Christmas" display. The cost is $25. This includes the kit. All pre-sewing is completed, just stuff and glue. It's great for all those that have no craft skills. Call the shop to register, (740)654-4853 or go to our web site, www.farmerscountrystore.com.

"I Believe" Christmas Kit

We have the "I Believe" Christmas Kit available. There are 10 kits at $8.50 each and an optional sashing/border/binding kit. The girls have been busy trying to keep up with the kits.

Fall Fun Nite

Fall Fun Nite -- September 24, 6:30 pm - Join us for a fun evening of making this door hanger. All pre-sewing is completed prior to class. Just stuff and assemble. We will also have a door prize, refreshments, fun and maybe some "cheap" entertainment. The cost for the class is $25. This includes the kit.

Annual August Sidewalk Sale

Every summer we have a sidewalk sale and clean out older merchandise or one of a kinds. This annual sale will be August 14 & 15, Thursday and Friday. Old dog fabric will be $2.50 - 4.00 yard.

Website being Updated

We're getting a new look to our website. Stop by www.farmerscountrystore.com to see what's new. The new site should be ready in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, our current site will remain open.

What's New

New fabric is arriving weekly. The Christmas fabrics are being shipped. From Moda, we just received the "Holly Jolly Snowmen" collection. It will be posted on our web site soon.

In the shop, look for the red, white & blue tea-dyed buntings. Last year these sold out quickly. We have several patriotic fabric collections great for that summer project. We have a new primitive artist selling her one of a kind originals exclusively with our shop. If you like the extreme primitive crafts, you'll appreciate Vickie's work.

Patty hung a porch swing up front to make a nice display area. Fresh chocolate just arrived from Coblentz Chocolate. Coblentz is from Walnut Creek in the Amish country. We had 8 ladies attend the sweatshirt jacket class yesterday. Shirley is giving her apron talk to another ladies' group. She's probably lost track on how many times she's given this talk.

As you can tell, life is busy at Farmer's Country Store. Stop by and give us a visit.

The Queen and Her Court Quilt

We just received a beautiful fabric collection from "Quilting Treasures" called "Marie Antoinette". The designer "Wing and a Prayer Design" has created a beautiful quilt for Block-of-the-Month programs. At Farmer's, we have cut the fabric for the entire quilt. You can work on your quilt as you like throughout the year or complete the kit according to your personal schedule.

The kit price is $168 for this queen size quilt. Check our website, www.farmerscountrystore.com, under "Kits" and also "Misc. Fabrics" buttons to view the "Marie Antoinette" fabric and the kit.

As always, we accept phone orders or stop by. The store's quilt is in the process of being made.

Bunny Fun Nite

It's another Fun Nite at Farmer's Country Store. Join the ladies as we create this Bunny. There are no sewing skills needed. We pre-sew everything. Just stuff and glue. We also offer refreshments, a door prize, in store specials and maybe some "cheap" entertainment. The class will be March 19 at 6:30 pm. The cost is
$25. Call the shop if you want to sign up, 740-654-4853.

Come Inside and See

I love my job. I work in a country store where I get to create, decorate, move furniture and play decorator. All of the girls that work in the shop are creative quilters and decorators. These are some of the pictures of Farmer's Country Store located in Lancaster, Ohio. We are not just a quilt shop. We have something for everyone. These are just a few of the areas photographed.

Winter Projects

We all need winter projects. We have a great selection of quilter's flannel. We have a lot of bolts not shown on our web site. If you're looking for a particular look or color, let us know. We just got in a shipment of lush Maywood flannel "Woolies" collection.
