I was finally able to sew a little and I loved every minute of it.
I managed to finish three blocks for the Farmer's Wife sew along.
I'm way, way behind, but it doesn't matter...Aunt, Becky, and Bonnie are finished! Yay!
All three blocks were paper pieced.
The Farmer's Wife book includes stories to go along with each block...they are so entertaining!
The stories are letters that were sent to the magazine, Farmer's Wife, and were
published from 1930-1939 in a column titled "Letters From Our Farm Women."
#8 - Aunt
"Do today's duties, and tomorrow will take care of itself."
~ Aunt Maria, Indiana, January 1933

The patterns are from this book...The Farmer's Wife 1930s Sampler Quilt
The fabrics are by Moda, Kindred Spirits.
The ring leader for this quilt along is Angie at Gnome Angel.
Only 96 blocks to go!
The big question is...can I do this. Yikes!
P.S. Happy Halloween!
