William Meets the Farmer's Wife
By Sheila Oaten
Sheila (The Quilting Gammy) made blocks from the Farmer's Wife sampler in William Morris reproduction prints.
The patterns are from a book by Laurie Aaron Hird

The ever creative women at Common Threads in Waxahachie, Texas have kitted up the Southern Gentleman pattern by Sindy Rodenmayer in Morris & Company prints.

I don't think I ever posted a picture of Roseanne Smith's "square in a square" quilt finished.
Here it is hanging down at Sarah's Fabrics.
She framed square in a square blocks with strips and cornerstones and then added wider strips and cornerstones.
Her inspiration was this quilt from about 1900 she saw on an online auction.
Send me pictures of stuff you make from these Morris prints and I'll post them here and on my Pinterest board.
Update on March 25th---See Shasha's quilt here
No morris prints, but I got some really nice creams that will be perfect for my civil war girls.

I love the Farmer's Wife quilts and the patterns. I really like the applique as well.
ReplyDeleteI made one. But for a batik and background fabrics, it is all made from your William Morris fabrics. I believe it has fabric from all three different releases of William Morris fabrics I've seen over the last few years.

It was quite a thrill to see my quilt featured on your blog. I have been a fan of William Morris designs for quite a while and have various repro fabrics in 2-3 applique quilt's before doing "William meets the Farmers wife"
ReplyDeleteI have a Jacobs Ladder top I just finished, made with a jelly roll... If you contact me, I'll send you the photo.( I don't know how to send it to ya)
ReplyDeleteHi there, I just completed a quilt (Star Bright, Star Light designed by Laura Nownes) using mostly your Morris fabrics with some from my stash for variety. Laura gave me permission to post it, so how do I mail a photo to you? Elizabeth Pruyn
