JUMPING JUDY, I have the Farmer's Wife Sampler book and want to start it but don't know where to purchase the fabric. Where did you purchase your fabric and did you use a certain colorway? Thanks a million!

In 09, I purchased a batch of FQs from Pat's Fat Quarters on eBay. She was very prompt in shipping & very pleasant to deal with. The CW repros I bought are Old Strubridge in reds. She has Auctions & Buy It Now, so maybe the ones of you who are looking for CW fabrics can find something you like there. Happy Shopping & Happy Quilting days ahead. Spring is here in Alabama.

All of you that have graciously shared pics of your quilts, Thanks so much! I love all of them! CW is one of my favorite fabrics. Bonnie Blue always has 2 booths set up at the Houston Quilt Show and the booths are just fantastic! It is a booth I spend a lg part of my money at ea. year just because her fabrics & kits are so nice. I have the Glory Bound kit that is shown in this topic, just need the time to get it done. CW Quilts are really just beautiful.
You can choose your favorite blocks from that era, do it in your fav. fabrics and have a gorgeous quilt. Even 1 block done in various fabrics is gorgeous.
