Here are a few of the Farmers Wife Quilt Along blocks I have made. I have completed over 50 blocks... but I still have many more to piece. This will be one of my summer projects. I find humor in a farmer wife piecing a Farmers Wife Quilt. And with regards to the book... I don't know that I would encourage my daughters to marry a farmer. I would, however, encourage them to marry someone with which  they share a sense of humor  and someone who loves their job. VERY IMPORTANT! My Mr. Farmer loves his job! I have never heard him say that he did not want to go to work. I am glad he likes his job, and basically our life style.

Okay... I'm in! Farmers Wife Quilt -Along

I have owned this book for quite some time. Recently, with all the activity surrounding this quilt and the quilt-along group on Flickr... I had that little extra push that I needed to start this project. Granted, I am behind... like I have made three blocks and the goal is to make 2 a week and the group is on week 11. I think I can catch up to the group. The fabric I am using is all dots. I have been collecting them, thinking I was going to make an applique quilt with my little growing stash. But the Farmers Wife is calling me.

PS I broke my CD last summer. Another reason I didn't start sooner. I called the publisher a couple weeks ago and they sent me a new CD... for FREE!

Thank you!
