Hello! Hello! And...Happy Tuesday Archives.
The linky party that let's you rejuvenate OLD blogging posts.
This week's theme is: FARMER'S WIFE
Many of you already know, I'm a Farmer's Wife drop-out. (Yep! Click HERE to read my archived post from 2014, where I turned lemons into lemonade!) I am happy to report that this little quilt has since been gifted to a new mom as a baby gift and she loved it!
I have made every block (some more than once) but never made them into a quilt - I gifted them all on to charity groups to use. I have both books/cd's and use them as block resources for taming my scraps.
ReplyDeleteI am not a "Farmer's Wife Dropout" because I am a "Never going to do a Farmer's Wife Quilt". I will be lucky if I finish my Dear Jane this year. I love your little quilt, Val! Sorry I don't have anything to link up.
ReplyDeleteLove your baby quilt, Val. So much going on and the colors would definitely keep a baby (or anybody) entertained. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteSorry I never got into the Farmer's Wife quilt, so I have nothing to share.
Hugs
This is not a quilt pattern I plan to do anytime in my future (never say never I've learned). I love how you salvaged your early quilting attempts. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, This must have been the 1920 pattern. I never made that one, but I was all ready for the 1930's except I did not realize it was a new book. I have wasted money on both books and they are terrible.
ReplyDeleteThe newest one has 19 pages of corrections. I found some of them when I first started to make the quilt with Marti Michelle and the lady from Australia.....It took 3 tries to get the author to realize that there were a lot of mistakes in the book!!!!!!!!!! Long story short (I blogged it on my blog doitrightquilter.wordpress.com last December) I have spent money for the fabric, but not for this pattern! Good for you and I like the quilt!
Most of the FW quilts I see just look too disjointed to me, though I am a Scrappy Girl. I love your FW baby quilt. No sashing and traditional 30's fabrics makes it all flow together. Happy ending.
ReplyDeleteI do have the book!!! Maybe next year I will be able to resist all the BOMs and concentrate on this quilt and farm girl vintage, Women of the Bible and a few more on my want to do list
ReplyDeleteI want to make the farmers wife quilt and have the fabrics. One day I might get it started. I might see another SAL when I am ready to start. Love to see everyone's blocks/quilts
ReplyDeleteI have the book, but just haven't had the time to make any of the blocks. At least you got a start on them.
