Back To The Farm


I got 3 more Farmer's Wife blocks done which brings my count up to 37 blocks. I seriously thought I had more than that, like 40 something.


I messed this one up not once, but twice and decided it was good enough. Those blue half square triangles and the white ones should be in opposite spots.


I love the delicacy of this block.


I totally changed up the colors of this block once I realized it was a bow tie.


I keep the patterns and the fabric I want to use in this zip pouch. It makes it easy to just sit down and sew without trying to decide what fabric I want to use. As you can see I wrote down each color on the pattern so I know exactly what the plan was to make each block

So I have heard through the quilting grapevine, that there are some people out there closely following my progress with these blocks. I would love to know who you are! Now that I know that, I will be a little bit more diligent to get working on them, the pressure is on! I am still not sure if I am doing all 111 but maybe half?

    I love your modern twist of fabrics in your FW blocks and the new header too. I made FW a few years ago in honor of my grandpa who was a farmer.

    Your blocks look so pretty. I just love the bright clear colors you use and how you combine the colors. Maybe you should take a look around...sometimes those blocks hide under stuff. :) I really will have to do a FW at some point. Right now I am still kind of trying to finish up some UFOs. A lot of UFOs actually. Have a good weekend.

    Oh I am one of those people following you! I did not notice anything wrong with your block until you mentioned it. I like that you think that way. If it was all perfect where would the fun be! You know I simply love your colors choices, you have such a knack for choosing colors. Keep on going girl! I will be watching.......

    Now for sure I will be following Farmers Wife progress. I am considering making one also. The clear pouch is a good way to stay organized and to have it readily accessible for sewing.

    I was so excited when I saw your title! Your color choices are always so happy and cheerful! I can't stand how pretty your new header is!!! It makes me smile every time!!! I definitely wouldn't redo that block because who in the world would know that the HST are flipped?
    Enjoy this beautiful day!

    I am on block #21 now. Your blocks are gorgeous and inspire me! I am not on a schedule, either.

    Fun to see your newest FW blocks. I've thought about doing a similar quilt, but don't think I want to commit to anything that serious right now.:) Love your new header!
