A few years back, before my machine quit working properly, the hubby and I went to the big quilt show in Paducah Kentucky. I picked up some of the cutest farm fabric there and had been wanting to make a scrap quilt from it for the longest time.
It is just full of farm animals, bales of hay, tractors and wagons, and all kinds of farmy goodness.
I had to emphasize the sheep of course.
I even added a few extra appliqué sheep for good measure.
I like the back of a quilt to be interesting so I also added some of the farm theme pieces there also. This is definitely my new favorite quilt to snuggle up under after I come in from doing the chores.
Oh my goodness! What a special quilt! I love it! When I was small, Mama had a Sun Bonnet Sue quilt. I could sit for hours looking at the different colored dresses and bonnets on the quilt. Your quilt is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I have loved having a sewing machine again. The spinning and wool production has slowed way down, but life will balance out after I get a few projects finished.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet, homey looking quilt! Enjoy your new machine!!
ReplyDeleteOh I love it, it looks fantastic - especially all the little extra sheep!
