A Farmer's Prayer Quilt
I rarely buy kits as I prefer to mix and match my own fabric selections to make a quilt but this quilt was a different story. I had purchased the panel a while ago - probably at a quilt show, I can't remember! And when I pulled it out of the closet to work on it, I didn't see any other pattern to use than the one that was designed for it. I try to source my fabric and patterns locally whenever possible or via PDF when I can't. This pattern was found at a rural Alberta quilt shop called Beaver Creek Mercantile and I asked them to make a kit for it as well. They didn't have all the identical fabrics for the quilt, but the fabrics they sent worked really well together. I backed this one with a fabric called Fireside. It's soft like Minky, but with less pile. Quilting was done by Marie of Blueberry Hill Quilts in High River. And we found a great rural location to get some photos with farmers working in the background. (This one has been sold!) --Ann
