Paper Piecing Class

Paper piecing can be a tricky quilting skill and leave a quilter stumped when trying their first paper piecing project. Patty will be teaching a paper piecing class on Thursday, February 4, at 5:30 p.m. The cost for the class is $25. Supplies needed are 1/4 yd. dark blue or marbles for the snowflake, 1/4-1/2 yd blue contrast for the border. With Patty's guidance, students should be able to continue paper piecing more snowflakes at home. Call the store to register, (740)654-4853.

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.

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.

Fresh & New

Abbey is home from college for the summer and has been busy painting the old paneling a new fresh cream color. Makes all the new beautiful quilts and fabric show up much better. Shirley has displayed the antiques from her family on the display shelves that are close to the ceiling. She eliminated the clutter on the shelves and the antiques are now more visible. We've had a carpenter come in and make more shelves for fabric. We're working on organizing the fabric and re-hanging the samples. Please stop by and see the difference. It's a nice clean look.
