two posts in one day!
Here is a picture of the quilt I am working on now.
Its called the Farmers Wife Sampler from a book by Laurie Aron Hird. I am getting it as a BOM from Homestead Hearth
So block 1 in 1930’s
first attempt at the sampler.
I have done this is black white and red as well. As soon as I get organised I will post a picture of that one too.
Its been interesting to do this quilt. I am making a Jane Austen inspired quilt that is all handpieced and it is a joy to make. I take it with me everywhere.
But that quilt is basically making the same block over and over.
Each block in this one is different and uses a large range of fabrics. It uses templates rather than rotary cutting set blocks.
So I am learning a new technique.
At the same time my sil is also doing the quilt, and a couple of friends are also doing it. So its kind of not a race but still nice to get them done and compare with the others.
