the farmer took a wife ...

 

... and then she made a quilt. 

These are only a few of the several dozen pictures I took the other day.  But it's the weekend already and I promised you something by now.  I want to write a more thoughtful and detailed post, mostly about the longarming artistry done by my friend (and I'm sure she has a magic wand in her sewing studio too), but I've run out of time.  So please know this is an abbreviated tour of my quilt with yet another promise to show you more next week.

Deal? ;)

Hope you have a good one!

Very pretty. I was so pleased to finish my FWQ, but I still have a group one to finish now.

Our FWQ inspired me to start my own. Yours is so beautiful!

That is, by far, the prettiest FW quilt I have seen yet! Simply gorgeous! Your color palette and fabric choices are wonderful, I just love it. Great job!

Oh it's so pretty, Kristyne! I'm making one for my mom, in her colours, which are the country hunter greens, burgundies and navy. I'm most of the way done but I've lost so much motivation. If it was like yours, however.... ;). Ok. Must get it over with!!

[Tracey Holzer]

Holy fabulousness!!!

[Roseanna Jakubowski]

I am in awe. Absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for sharing. I am truly inspired to get back to working on mine.

[Ross]

Hey you! Because I normally read blogs on my phone with one eye open as I fall asleep at night or wake up in the morning, I've gotten really crappy at commenting. But when I saw this, I made a mental note to do one thing-
TELL YOU HOW AAAAAAAMAZING it is!! Amazing, I tell you! Well done!

[Joan]

Gorgeous! Love the fabrics!

[Patrice]

I love everything about this quilt ... the pattern, piecing, colors, quilting and the photography really shows it off!

[debbie]

Most gorgeous quilt ever!!!

[Sandy]

Beautiful!

[Wens]

Wow!! It's awesome! I only have a few more blocks to go, this is just the inspiration I needed. Gorgeous work.

[Heather (mtl)]

This truly is an awesome piece of work! Are the colours as vibrant in real life? The aqua just bowls me over but it's that hit of red that feels like a sweet kiss.
This truly is an extraordinary quilt. Be proud, Girlie, you shine!!

[Sara]

Oh my goodness - I am speechless!

[Christine M]

Oh, Kristyne. Your quilt is absolutely beautiful!

[Krystena]

I had to take a deep breath before I read this post....I knew the photos would cause me to hyperventilate!!
Simply stunning x

[Lisa McGriff]

Prettiest Farmer's Wife Quilt I have ever seen! Oh how I would love to have that on my bed!

[SuperMomNoCape]

I think that is the prettiest farmer's wife quilt that I've seen so far. I love the fabrics and the colours you've used.

[Sharrieboberry]

Soooo pretty. I love seeing the finished product!

[edith]

Your quilt turned out absolutely phenominal. I've been following your progress on it since last spring when I found your blog through Pinterest. Because your blocks were so beautiful, I became interested in the quilt, did some research on the internet and purchased the book so that I can make my own Farmer's Wift Quilt. The history behind this sampler is very interesting as well. I love traditional quilts. You gave it a wonderful interpretation. Congratulations on a gorgeous finish.

[Suzanne]

Wow!

[Karen Taylor]

Wow! Amazing!

[Karen Seitz]

Gorgeous! I look forward to the more detailed post.

[Jenifer]

Lovely!

[Colette]

Phenomenal! What an absolutely lovely quilt.

[Andrea]

Any chance you would be willing to take a picture of each block and put them on Pinterest so that those of us that still need to quilt our quilts could be inspired??

[Carla]

Absolutely brilliant! Makes me want to finish mine soon

[Ally's Grandma]

Beautiful and inspiring. I am making a FWQ too and am using the Fabric line Ruby and while I am loving it, I think I love yours more! Am going to make one for my granddaughter eventually and would love to use these colors. Really fabulous! Ps I married my junior Hugh sweetheart, have three grown daughters and a granddaughter who loves to be with grandma in my sewing room.

[Michelle L.]

breathtakingly gorgeous! I'm not a quilter but the beauty of this makes me wish I was! I'd love to know the fabrics used & can't wait to see more details!

[ellis&higgs]

Kristyne, this is the most beautiful quilt I have ever seen! I am speechless!!

[Saartje]

Wow, that is amazing! It is beautiful, and the quilting is wonderful, in places it looks like handquilting. Lovely! Maybe one day, I'll find the courage to start my own version, although I'd be tempted to copy yours, so I'd be sure to have a beautiful end product. But first I have to finish about a dozen other WIPs...

[Jules]

What a gorgeous quilt, I've been watching the blocks grow and it's grown into a beautiful quilt... the farmers wife should be extremely pleased with herself.

[Nicky]

Truly amazing.... a real masterpiece...congratulations on your lovely quilt.

[Meredithe]

It looks stunning!! Well done you!

[Melanie]

Your quilt is just beautiful! Love the fabric you selected. It's colorful and cheerful.

[Annerose]

Was für ein wunderschöner Quilt, ganz toll.
Liebe Grüße Annerose

[Donna]

It's awesome! Great quilting too!

[Staci]

Oh so BEAUTIFUL! I have really enjoyed watching your quilt grow since you started this project. It is so lovely, and you have every reason to admire it and photograph it all day long!
I have about 10 blocks to make for my own version, and then of course, sashing and assembly. My goal is to be finished before the year ends and then send it out for quilting.
