Stash Report - Annie's Farm Stand Collection!

This post may contain affiliate links. Thank you for your support!



... Annie's Farm Stand by Holly Holderman for Lakehouse Dry Goods ...

... my latest obsession ...

... am I really confessing that there are over 40 yards of fabric there ...?

Believe it or not, this collection is for my living room, dining room, kitchen re-do.  From this fabric I'll be making a full/queen-sized quilt for the wall, 6 living room window valances {each with a different quilt block pattern}, a piano bench cover, at least two quilted throws, sofa pillows, several table runners, a set of floor-length curtains for the sliding glass door and a valance for the kitchen window, and perhaps a curtain for the front door window.  The sliding glass door curtains will be made from the "cheater" fabric that looks like a pieced quilt in the top right of the picture.

For the full/queen-sized quilt for the living room wall, I plan on using the pattern on the cover of Eleanor Burn's "Still Stripping After 25 Years" book.  It is the pattern in the bottom of the picture.  I love the traditional patterns in the book and the step-by-step layout with colored diagrams.  Eleanor's easy-to-follow style really helped me establish strip-piecing in my quilting.





Below is a bundle of coordinating fat quarters I picked up at a LQS's annual fat quarter Mardi Gras sale this week.  I didn't really need it {oh, really?}, but couldn't resist its sweetness!


Happy stashing!!

Wow! You are certainly well organized. I have to confess that it makes me a little weary to see all that you want to accomplish, but I know that a little at a time does the job. It is fun and cheery looking and I would like to see completion pictures.

@ Helen - I really enjoy your comments! I will be sure to post pictures. Yes, a little at a time is how it gets done. I sew a little bit almost everyday, even if it is just taking 15 minutes at a time to press or pin or chain stitch a pile of blocks to prepare for the next available opportunity. Right now, I've worked through what I need to with the kids and their school work today, I've made some necessary phone calls, laundry is going and supper is in the crockpot, so I am headed off to sew on my 30s Barn Raising Quilt Blocks!
