Sitting Pretty Quilt

Where does time go. It's been so long since I've let everyone know what's new at Farmer's Country Store. Christmas and Fall fabric lines are shipping and the girls are busy making samples using the new lines. I liked the quilt pattern "Sitting Pretty" so much, I ordered it two times. The pattern cover used fabric from the 30's. I selected fabrics from my pastel stash. Gives the pattern a whole different look. If you are quilter, we have plenty of patterns. The finished quilt as shown is available for $98.00.

Sorry about my sideways picture. I am still looking for the rotate picture button.

Happy sewing and hope you stop by Farmer's Country Store located in Lancaster, Ohio.

New Christmas and Halloween fabric

Yes quilters, the Christmas and Halloween '07 fabric is arriving daily. Yesterday I unpacked a beautiful collection from the designer Anna Griffin. Anna is known for her scrapbook paper designs. She's put her designs on fabric. Her new Christmas collection "Grace Christmas" is a beautiful vintage collection featuring Victorian Christmas trees, Santas, and more. I've sent the list to our web hostess, "Hattie's Workshop". She should have this collection up in a week or two.

We already have many of the new 2007 Fall and Christmas collections posted on our web page. We have "Snow Village" from Moda that is a winter toille. We have "Let it Snow" designed by Ohio's Deb Strain. This collection has a panel along with coordinates. Look for these fabrics under the "Moda" listing.

Benartex has a beautiful Christmas Nativity panel and coordinates for 2007. This can be seen on our "Other" fabric list.

Thimbleberries has a new collection called "Christmas Street". I ordered the patterns for this collection and they should arrive soon.

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.
