Farmer's Wife Quilt Fabrics

I came home from work last night to find a package from Hawthorne Threads waiting at my doorstep! Yess! I ordered prints from Anna Maria Horner's new LouLouthi line to base my Farmer's Wife Quilt on. I am so excited, these prints are fantastic!

Opening the package...



Showing off the fabric:


 (Do all cats want to sit on everything you own?)


 (Don't these fabrics look juicy???)






The fabrics I am using from the Innocent Crush line:










Then I decided to play around with some fabric combos. Keep in mind that I still have the solids from AMH that I ordered to compliment these prints... 














WOOOHOOO! I cannot wait to get started. I am just waiting on my book and some solids and I will get going soon! The book should arrive by June 25th (ahh!) so stay tuned!







I just thought that I'd give you a little peak into our garden pickings this morning....mmmmmmmmm!

  1. Your cat cracks me up!! At our house, we have a saying that the cat always looks for the person with the busiest lap--ie: the person who is reading, doing homework, or sewing; not just sitting and watching TV. Apparently, your cat was a quilter in another life?

    PS: I LOVE your fabrics. Your quilt will be marvelous. I am guessing the Farmer's Wives from the book would be drooling if they could see the fabrics emulating their stories!
