Farmer's Wife Blocks 1 - 10

I made 10 Farmer's Wife blocks yesterday! Bill and Jake were golfing, Brenna was at work, so I headed downstairs and started sewing. Thanks to my friend Joan for printing the templates for me (my printer is on the fritz and I don't have EQ anymore) and also for the Kaye England class and her wonderful rulers, they all went together smoothly! So, here they all are!

Block #1, Attic Window

Block #2 Autumn Tints

Block #3 Basket

Block #4 Basketweave

Block #5 Bat Wing

Block #6 Big Dipper

#7 Birds In The Air

#8 Bouquet

Block #9 Box

Block #10 Bow Tie

I didn't make the knot a different color and may redo this one. It looks sort of blah. Well, there's the first 10. Till next time....................

The Farmer's Wife Quilt

I've just joined a Flick group that's making The Farmer's Wife Quilt. I haven't started yet, but will soon. There are 111 different blocks in the quilt and some of them are more difficult than others. Our guild is having Laurie Aaron Hird visit us in October. I've always admired this quilt and have wanted to make it. Two of my friends, Joan and Diane from our guild, are also making this and I really need to catch up. The flicker group usually makes 2 blocks a week. I should be able to handle that. I'll post my progress here.
