Introducing FARMHOUSE II

Hello my Quilting Friends!

We are slowly digging ourselves out from Quilt Market and I have so many different things to share with you but I thought it was high time that I introduced everyone to our brand new upcoming collection, FARMHOUSE II.

Due to the popularity of our first Farmhouse collection [to be completely honest, it might have been one of my all time favorite fabric collections that I have ever designed] several years ago, I thought it was time to do a "take two" with new prints and the same classic color palette that we all fell in love with the first time around. I still get emails today of people who share with me that Farmhouse was one of their all time favorites or the reason they got back into quitting. I love to hear those kinds of stories. 

There is something about this palette that just makes my heart sing. Don't you think?

Now as most of you know, I am a total farm girl at heart. To be totally honest, I am not actually a farm girl... but I dream of being one one day! I dream of a small white farmhouse with a red or yellow door in a small town with a huge meadow behind it. I think a barn filled quilts for retreats might be there too. I see chickens and a couple goats maybe... and maybe even a horse.

... photos taken on a country road north of us in Sonoma. Maybe one day we will live there!

But for now, we live in a small urban town in the San Francisco Bay Area and the closest I am going to come to being a farm girl... is chickens. Yup, I'm all about our chickens right now. We got them in February and by July, if all goes well, we will have eggs!!! We have loved getting to know them. There are five- Hazel, Chipmunk, Oreo, Nugget and Butterscotch. More on the names later... each one has a story :-).  

 

 

Okay... back to the fabric :-). Introducing FARMHOUSE II.

 

 

 

 

 

More goodies tomorrow... I promise!

 

Happy Sewing,

Joanna

 

The Vintage Sampler BOM…finished!

Edit:  The backing is the grey/cream sampler fabric #37061 in the grey color [its an older fabric that I am not sure tha is available anywhere which is why I didn't specify what it was] . The quilter is Diana Johnson of course... I can't believe I forgot to give you her name! If you are interested in having her quilt something for you, just email me and I will send your info to her!

 

I could say a lot of things and explain a lot of blocks and quilting, etc.... but I know you just want to see the pics of the quilting so here they are as requested.

The quilt is not even completely bound yet, but close enough!

We bound in red and backed in a cream sampler print from Julie & Eric Comstock, Baby Jane collection. The tiny cream dot would be lovely too. Email us if you are interested in that and I can see what I can do!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 And a quick pic of the little helper who came home from school in the middle of the photo shoot and helped keep the quilt in place...

 

Coming up on Monday.... some Valentine goodies and some fantastic bundles [which might or might not be up in the shop already...].  

Vintage Farmhouse BOM on its way...

We are working like crazy to get ready for our upcoming 12 DAY OF CHRISTMAS SALE coming up soon.... [for those of you who have never done this sale with us, we will have more info soon/for those of you who know what is coming, get ready!

But I thought I would pop my head in for a quick moment and show you some quick pics of the Vintage Farmhouse Block of the Month quilt. It is finally put together and on its way to the quilter. I cannot wait to see it all finished and quilted and bound.... and beautiful! I am so in love with this quilt ladies, I can't even tell you!

 

 

 

 

Its a dreary kind of day so the photos are not the greatest but I thought it was time to at lesast show you something. We will do a real photo shoot when the lovely Diana has done her magic! Coming soon!
