Americana Modern is a fun quilt that Nancy Halverson designed to go along with her Tried and True fabric line. There's a little appliqué (don't get nervous - there's not too much!) and some easy piecing. The sampler style settings looks complicated, but is very easy to follow.

Farmer's Wife Quilt (83" x 103")

Would you want your daughter to marry a farmer? This was how the whole Farmer's Wife quilt started - a contest held in 1922 asking this question. The book was designed around all the actual essays and blocks submitted from farmer's wives. When the book first came out, it was amazing to look through and see the 111 different block designs. Some of them were (on the surface) more intimidating than others, but as we made the quilt, it was a breeze.

What an heirloom you will have when you are finished. You can choose from Authentic Reproduction fabrics or Scrap Basket fabrics. Each month you'll have 10 blocks to make. We know that that seems like a lot, but guys, they're only 6" ! That's the equivalent of 2-1/2 - 12" blocks! Not more than you can handle! The cutting is the big part and if you are nervous, come to a Starter Class and you'll get all the confidence you'll need!!

• Cost each month - $18.00 (+ 1 time shipping if necessary)
• Project runs for 12 months, starting at your registration month. You are more than welcome to work ahead if you so choose.

Prairie Flower: A Year on the Plains (90" x 90")

Quilts are entwined with America's pioneer heritage. We take great pride in our westering spirit. Quilts, so distinctly American, seem a part of the frontier experience. The Prairie Flower Project combines a view of women's Western migration with a new quilt design based on the wildflowers of the Great Plains.

We first saw this quilt when we did our Friends and Family evening presentation last summer. I have always felt that a quilt this size with this much appliqué was way out of my league. I'm not a hand appliquér! I looked at the quilt closer - it was machine appliquéd! Now you're talking my language! This quilt was such a fun experience. I could prep the pieces while watching TV and the stitching was nothing! And what an heirloom when it's finished! If you ever had a secret desire to own an appliqué quilt, this is the one!!!
