The first of two farmgirl chapter quilts arrived today!
The little bit of the quilt we can see without opening it up (so I could take a photo of the beautifully ribboned and "strawberried" package) is just gloriously stitched. Gorgeously and amazingly created. There aren’t words. You can just feel the love!!!! (Actually, to quote Cindylou, “This is beyond love!”) Chapter member Gloria Walls is livin' up to her name! We are overwhelmed by this quilt that we’ll open entirely after I post this!! (From the side, it looks like her quilting stitches match or echo each and every square, i.e. If a chapter square had trees, then Gloria’s quilting stitches mimicked the trees! The full quilt will be on display for Farm Fair and many, many photos of it will be taken and posted. Don’t forget, if your chapter square didn’t make it into this quilt, Gloria is still working on the second quilt. Gloria donated her time. Our chapter funds paid for materials. Our lower jaws are still on the floor ...

P.S. Also in the photo are Gloria’s signature strawberry pincushions and two sets of adorable pillow cases. I know some farmgirls who are gonna have some sweet, sweet dreams this weekend with lots of pillow talk into the wee hours of the morning!!!!
P.P.S. From Gloria’s “Strawberry House Quilting” brochure: “Happiness is finishing and owning a quilt! Have you always wanted a beautiful quilt for your bed, a guest bed or even your sofa? Well we could design one or pick an old favorite, with your special colors. It can be done! Or do you have a quilt top ready to be quilted? We could also get that completed. Sandwiched with batting, backing and finished off with a binding! Maybe you have an old family quilt top that needs finishing--just call me! Together we can get it finished.” You can contact Gloria through e-mail via the forum. Her screen name is: berries

MaryJane -
As soon as you can post pictures please do, very anxious to see it and since I am unable to make the Farm Fair it will be the only way I can view it for now and I am sure other farmgirls want to see it too. I have already contacted Gloria about a possible quilt for my mom, I am excited to see her brochure and talk to her about it.
Thanks for sharing.
