Vintage Quilts

We are located in Lancaster, Ohio, home of General Sherman. The local historical society has restored his home and feature several historical events throughout the year. It is only fitting that here at Farmer's we have started purchasing more of the Civil War and historical prints thanks to companies like Windham and Marcus Brothers. Patty created a quick and easy quilt from the "Old Glory" collection by Windham. It is a circa 1850 fabric. Patty loves creating quilts with the vintage/civil war fabric. Patty created a quilt at Christmas time using some fabrics that were not selling very well and used them in a unique way that the fabric and kits flew out of the shop along with her quilt.

Be Attitudes Quilt of the Month

Norma has been busy creating a kit of the month from "Art to Heart". The book is entitled "Be Attitudes" The fusible applique quilt which reminds us of uplifting attitudes and values that can make our lives more enjoyable and beautiful. Norma has taken the teadious work of selecting so many fabrics for one quilt. Each month's block is well labeled and ready to fuse the applique and stitch by machine or hand using the blanket stitch. The kit may be purchased monthly or all twelve blocks, including the book, for $120.00. The book cover shows four narrow borders. These are optional. Cheri has purchased the kits. She's only using one small border and is hanging it over a bed in the grandkid's room.

If Norma receives four students, she will offer a monthly class. The quilt is on our opening page of www.farmerscountrystore.com.
