When quilting meets coloring, beautiful things happen!

The nostalgic beauty of Laurie Aaron Hird's bestselling Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt series has been captured in this commemorative coloring book designed around time-honored blocks and inspired fabric motifs. Laurie's traditional blocks, inspired by actual letters from 1920s and 30s farm wives, give quilters a glimpse into this country's rural roots and commemorate the strength and hope of women of the Great Depression. These coloring pages depict many of the same beautiful blocks reinterpreted in line-art illustrations, creating coloring pages to delight quilt-lovers everywhere. Also included are 7 patchwork designs that capture the American quilting spirit. The perforated pages include highly detailed fabric designs to color, offering you the simple joy of creative expression.

A pleasing old-fashioned effect, and the pages are single-sided and perforated along the binding for easy removal, allowing for finished 'quilts' to be assembled if desired. This book could easily lend inspiration to aspiring quilters or provide a pleasant diversion for accomplished ones who'd like to return to another favorite pastime. --The Deseret News -A pleasing old-fashioned effect, and the pages are single-sided and perforated along the binding for easy removal, allowing for finished 'quilts' to be assembled if desired.
