I have been gone for a while. Taxes and other paper work kept me busy - but now I am back. Anyone else participating in the Fat Quarter Shop Snapshot quiltalong? When I saw the quilt I just had to make it- I found a fat eighth of Daysail fabric on Etsy in November so I was ready for the first pattern in January.
I just finished block #2 the sewing machine and here it is:
This is really a fun quilt along - I am really trying to keep up with the group so that I don't have another UFO on my hands at the end of the year. I hope you all are having as much fun as I am. See you all soon.

Farmer's Wife Blocks.
EDIT:
I just signed up for a giveaway at Karen's blog at http://chezstitches.blogspot.com
to use modern methods to construct your Farmers Wife quilt blocks. I am really excited to try her methods. When I first purchased the book - I looked at the blocks and they looked rather simple then I saw that all the blocks are template based.
Right now Karen is having a giveaway - you can win some free classes - just check out the link above and follow the directions.
Dear me....my brain is not working correctly this evening - I posted the classes were about Dear Jane but I meant Farmers Wife....I made the correction - I hope I didn't confuse anyone.

EDIT: The pattern is called Scenic Lodi Valleys by Creek Side Stitches.
Finished this quilt, Delectable Mountains, that I started in 2013 - just put the last stitch in the binding. I am keeping this one - it will be nice to snuggle under this winter.
I played with the quilting on my Handiquilter Avante - if you look closely, I put random quilting designs all over the quilt. Its nice to have one finished.

I just found a picture of the quilt using one of my quilt blocks for the Karen Nyberg Quilt display in Houston during the last quilt festival. Here is a pic of my block:
And here is a pic of the quilt:
And here is a pic of the quilt:
There it is fifth row down - third column. According to http://cindy-campbell.com/index.php?s=astronaut
(from her blog) there were a total of 28 quilts (that is a lot of blocks). I don't know what they will do with the quilts after the display but it was nice to be included. If you want to find your block - check cindy-Campbell's blog - she has pics of all 28 quilts.

My first post.
My first post. My name is Teresa but my blog name is otisquilts.
My husband and I have been married 28 years and have two children and 3 grandchildren. We enjoy our country life with our 3 French Bulldogs: Shorty, Clyde and Dozer.
I started quilting around 5 years ago and I am completely self-taught. I have made dozens of quilts along the way and several handbags too. I am addicted to fabric (especially pre-cuts) as you will see when I post pics of my quilts.
My first quilt project for 2015 is from Lori Holt's book, "Quilty Fun". I have been dying to make the sampler quilt shown on the book cover. I am using a combination of Riley Blake fabric and my stash for the quilt. I will post pictures as I progress.
I hope you all enjoy the journey with me.
