On the Farm!

Monday, September 28, 2020 11:47 AM

How many of you have either lived, worked, or been "On The Farm" in the course of your lifetime?
To many of us, the mere mention of those words conjures up an array of thoughts, memories, and maybe even some smells in our minds!
My dad grew up on a farm in west Texas where my grandad worked a section of land, 640 acres, east of the "Caprock" in Scurry County. Besides a modest farmhouse, this diverse piece of land was home to a 1 1/2 acre stock pond, a large mesquite grove where you could usually find 10 or so head of mixed beef cattle, and acres and acres of maze, cotton and other seasonal crops. It even boasted of several crude oil pumpjacks, 3 oil holding tanks and a 30' high separator tank. As a young boy, heading to The Farm every year for 2 weeks was always the highlight of our summer.
When Moda's new collection, "On The Farm", designed by Stacy Iest Hsu, got to our shelves, it stirred up all those wonderful memories once again! It also reminded us of the joy of watching our kids, and now our grandkids, spend hours imagining those times on the farm with the
Little People Farm Set by Fisher Price.
We have Stacy's full collection complete with 28 prints.
Inspired by life on a farm and the many animals, this beautifully illustrated collection in red, green, blue and neutral is versatile and fun to sew with.When shown this wonderful collection many months ago by our Moda rep, the girls couldn't resist adding to the fun with a Barn Cut & Sew Panel that includes a barn, farm animals and even a tractor!
Whether you live in a big city, small town or in the country, this collection is sure to give you all the comfort of living On the Farm!
