Did you know... In 1907, the publisher of The Farmer's Wife magazine began a contest for young children to sell subscriptions? In exchange, the children received prices such as bicycles, cameras, and rifles. Most of the children worked for the grand prize, a Shetland pony with accompanying saddle, bridle, and often a carriage.⠀
The Farmer's Wife Pony Club ended in 1918, but not before they had given over 500 ponies to grateful boys and girls across America. ⠀
Introducing our new BOM class, a new Farmer's Wife with the Pony Club Book. In total the class will include making 90, 8.5" blocks over 12 months! ⠀
Class will be held on the second Thursday of each month, starting in March. Evening class from 4:30-5:30PM. Sharon, our class teacher, has promised this class to be lots of fun this year. Class fee will be $30 and each month's kit includes 2.5 yards of fabric. Call the store or "gallop in" to sign up for our NEW Farmer's Wife Pony Club class!⠀
