Description
Prairie Home looks back to pioneer life on the frontier and turns it into a full year of quilting. Lori Holt organizes the book by season, and the projects, more than forty quilts, runners, and table toppers, carry homestead themes like log cabins, baskets, stars, pinwheels, sunflowers, and pine trees. The palette is warm and scrappy with a vintage, gathered feel, the kind of quilts that look like they belong on a covered-wagon homestead and in a modern home alike. It is a big, seasonal collection built around one idea: making do beautifully, the way the westward-bound women who inspired it did.
What the Book Includes
This listing is for the printed pattern book, not a kit or a finished quilt. Fabric, batting, backing, and notions are not included.
Inside are more than forty projects, divided into Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter sections, with cutting and assembly instructions, full-color photos, and diagrams throughout. At 257 full-color pages with a semi-concealed spiral binding and covered spine, this is a substantial book that lies flat at the machine.
The Projects
The book is organized into four seasonal sections:
Spring: Baskets and Tulips Tabletopper, Grandma's Sampler Quilt, Prairie Blossom Quilt, Prairie Bonnet Quilt, Prairie Butterflies Quilt, Prairie Lilies Quilt, Prairie Plaid Quilt, Prairie Posies Quilt, Prairie Springtime Quilt, Prairie Welcome Quilt
Summer: Ohio Star Tabletopper, Prairie Baskets Quilt, Prairie Charm Quilt, Prairie Paws Tabletopper, Prairie Picnic Quilt, Prairie Strings Runner, Prairie Sunflower Tabletopper, Prairie Sunset Quilt, Stars and Pinwheels Quilt, Wild Flower Runner
Fall: Friendship Star Tabletopper, Going West Quilt, Hearth and Home Quilt, Plaid Pumpkin Tabletopper, Prairie Crochet Quilt, Prairie Leaves Quilt, Prairie Pastures Runner, Prairie Paws Quilt, Prairie Preserves Quilt, Prairie Wind Tabletopper, Wagon Wheels Quilt
Winter: Christmas Star Quilt, Long Underwear Quilt, Mama's Red Quilt, Prairie Home Quilt, Prairie Patchwork Quilt, Prairie Pines Quilt, Prairie Stockings Quilt, Prairie Winter Quilt, Shoo Fly Star Quilt, Trees with Stars Tabletopper
What You'll Need
The projects are built with conventional patchwork: rotary-cut pieces joined with straight seams, in pieced blocks like stars, baskets, pinwheels, and pine trees. The scrappy look is a natural fit for fat quarters, precuts, and a stash of coordinating prints. The samples use Lori's Prairie Home fabric collection, though any prints in a similar warm, vintage palette will work. A rotary cutter, mat, and ruler are the core tools, and full fabric amounts for each project are inside the book.
Perfect For
- Quilters who want a full year of seasonal projects in one book
- Anyone drawn to a warm, scrappy, pioneer-homestead look
- Quilters who like a mix of quilts, runners, and table toppers
- Fat quarter and precut users, and fans of Lori Holt's Prairie Home fabric
Why You'll Love This Book
Organizing the book by season turns it into a year-round resource rather than a one-and-done project. There is something to start whenever the mood strikes: a fresh floral quilt in spring, a picnic quilt for summer, pumpkins and wagon wheels in fall, stars and pine trees for winter. With more than forty projects, the book keeps giving long after the first quilt is bound, and the pioneer theme ties it all together with a warm, story-rich character.
The mix of project sizes is part of the appeal. The big quilts are the centerpieces, but the runners and table toppers are quick, satisfying makes that are easy to finish for a gift or a seasonal refresh. All of it is built with familiar pieced blocks and conventional patchwork, so the construction stays approachable even across a collection this large.
At 257 pages, full color throughout, Prairie Home is a substantial book, and the semi-concealed spiral binding with a covered spine lets it lie open flat while you work. It earns its shelf space as a four-season reference a quilter will return to again and again.
