About Me

My photo
I live in the Black Hills of South Dakota with my husband Bill, 3 sons, 2 dogs,, 2 horses-now 1, bottle calves and Chicks. I love to Quilt. I enjoy Horses,Gardening, Flowers, Archery, Camping, Fishing, Bottle Calves and all things with animals. I started sewing when I was 8 for 4-H, and have sewed off and on since. I discovered how fun quilting was over 7 years ago. I still sew on a Kenmore that was a graduation gift in 1981. I have a New Kenmore 385.19, and a Viking 400, a Singer Treadle, a Featherweight. and a Viking Ruby. In February 2010 I purchased an APQS Longarm , and Love everyone of them. I taught my 1st paper-piecing class, it was such a blast!

3 1/2" Unfinished Farmers Wife Sampler Blocks #7-13

Here are some more of my Farmers Wife Sampler Blocks(Authored by Laurie Aaron Hird) I am doing my blocks paperpieced and in 3 1/2" unfinished blocks and trying to use only 30's fabrics.
They have been a lot of fun to do, and must admitt a couple were a little interesting making sure my points end up where they should be. I think I will be doing some looking for a few more solid colors to use with these also.
I am also doing a set with the 4 1/2" Unfinished Blocks but are being done in Scrappy fabrics. When done with the blocks thier will be 111 blocks. I have enjoyed the Farmers Wife Yahoo group site and also reading Laurie Hirds site with the letters from the 1920's.
(I put a quarter on one of them so you can see the size compared to it.)

    yes they are pretty little, but they sure are fun to do. The paperpiecing makes them much easier I think.
