Move over, Farmers Daughter...

...the farmer wants a wife!

You may recall, a while back, I mentioned how very tempted I was to start stitching The Farmers Wife Sampler Quilt. When the book was sold out, I took it as a sign...a sign that I have too many projects on the go :)


Which, incidentally, may or may not be true :)

BUT...then I receieved an email. The book was back in stock....and my unfinished quilt pile had since reduced by one, and coincidentally, the quilt I finished was called A Farmers Daughter. Now THAT was a sign if ever there was one. Not only that, but the perfect fabric was sitting on my desk, just waiting to be made into something special.

And so, the first blocks of my Farmers Wife Sampler Quilt came into being :)

I started with Block 1 Attic Windows...

...which, in another coincidence, was the name of the first quilt I ever made.

I moved on to Block 2 Autumn Tints...

...mainly because I'm easily confused LOL and if I go mixing up the order of blocks I'll probably
throw myself into a tailspin eventually :) There are 111 blocks in the queen size version, and that's A LOT of blocks!

I'm using the Rose Parade jelly roll pictured above, along with some of my favourite polkadot fabrics and a white cotton as the background. Love it? Oh yes...I do!

So now my unfinished quilt pile is back up to 6...which is a nice, rounded sort of number...don't you think?

tee hee hee
