I woke up this morning and just needed to photograph the Farmer’s Wife Sampler top, henceforth known as Technicolor Fields – now that it is a top, hehe. I grabbed shoes, coat, top, and camera, then headed into the frigid morning to document the awesome. Thankfully, I have no neighbors in this building that have dogs – no unfriendly surprises in the snow in front of my building!
It’s freaking cold at 6:00 AM in Wisconsin in winter, never mind that we’re supposedly heading into spring this month.
I took the above photo, and a couple more, trying to find higher ground, to no avail. I’m only 5’4″, and the snow piles weren’t giving me much height.
Then I remembered that we have access to the balcony that overlooks the front lawn! I dashed upstairs, opened the door to the closet leading to the balcony, and about gave up. I forgot that hubby has been using it for storage.
Still, I was determined. With some strategic shuffling, and some sucking in of the gut, I achieved my goal and was above Technicolor Fields!
Behold! In all its glory:
*happy shuffle* *happy shuffle*
It’s done! It’s done!
…
Now I’m going to start the Dear Jane Sampler again.

I can’t stop looking at this quilt!!!!! Bravo, Job Well Done, OMG…the colors on this quilt a perfect!
Thank you! I’m very happy with how this one has turned out. I’m glad I ended up starting over with the blocks and going with this plan.
best farmer’s wife quilt EVER.
Thank you! I owe a big favor to Sandi of Piecemeal Quilts for coming up with the layout and letting me use it.
Congratulations! What an achievement. Like it a lot!
I’m very glad to have gotten to this point, and am looking forward to the achievement of making this a complete quilt.
Congratulations. That is one stunning quilt. The remade blocks was inspirational. First thought on photo one was ‘WOW’! Great work, and now a Dear Jane? Amazing.
Yes, a Dear Jane. I’m completely insane, but I bought the fabric a couple of years ago for the project. I think it’s about time I actually worked on it.
Please take time to enter this in an upcoming Quilt Exhibit. This is a prize winning piece.
That is actually my end goal for this quilt top. I learned a lot about being an accurate piecer throughout the process of making this and think that I’m finally at a point where I believe that my skills are up to the scrutiny of a show. Of course, first I have to master FMQ.
Wow stunning!
this is stunning, Jeanne. i was also thinking about how great this quilt would be in a show. i’m glad that you have that in mind, too.
I’m very excited to make this my first entry into a show. I’m finally at that point in my quilting life that I feel like I’m ready to spread my wings a little more.
[…] gorgeous versions of this quilt. Really. Patch the Giraffe. Quirky Granola Girl. Hey Porkchop. Grey Cat Quilts. Happy Zombie. All gorgeous and wonderfully […]
