\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the things that a lot of kids miss out on these days, is being exposed to farm life, and how food is produced. When our kids were little, I made sure they went to summer camps on farms, got to ride horses<\/a>, feed chickens, and I think they even got to milk goats.<\/p>\n

My mom lived on a farm as a little girl. She rode her horse bareback to school, drank goat milk, and her parents were trailblazers as vegetarians, and organic gardeners. She went to school in a one-room schoolhouse for many years, and as a girl I loved to hear her stories from the countryside of Oregon.<\/p>\n

I was horse-crazy as a girl, and I had a horse for awhile as a teenager. We always had a garden, and for awhile we lived in a house with a huge fruit orchard. I had friends who lived on farms, and I loved to go see the baby animals in the Springtime<\/a>. So all of those things add up to a lot of memories, that bring an appreciation for the fabrics I pick out for our Farm, Animal<\/a> and Farmer’s Market<\/a> categories.<\/p>\n

Many of us learned to quilt and sew from our grandmothers, and perhaps you have an antique quilt that was stitched on a farmhouse kitchen table, with those sweet Thirties prints that are enjoying a revival right now<\/a>. What fun we have these days, using fabrics to tell a story of that country life that our grandmothers knew!<\/p>\n
