More Farmer's Wife...

I know a lot of you are doing the Farmer's Wife Block of the Month with us at Country Sampler, so I thought I'd give ya a little update.  Ann's got her quilt finished and it's on display at the Papillion shop!!  

Isn't it wonderful??!  That's 111 - 4" blocks!  They are so addicting, though -(kinda like pototo chips)!  As you might remember, we're doing this as a paper pieced, twelve month Block of the Month.  Paper piecing makes the construction sooo much easier and much more accurate when you're working with such small blocks.  

Anyway, Ginny K. stopped in the store a couple of weeks ago and asked if we had the quilt finished and up at the West Center store too.  The answer is... No, we don't.  I think I laughed too.  Why??  Well, I would probably be the one who would have to have it done and I'm a looong way from that. Whatna see a picture of my Farmer's Wife quilt????

Well, here's my notebook... (Organization is always key, Edith.  It's kinda like having the cute outfit for tennis.  Even if you play terrible, it's good to look professional).

And here's a couple of the pages from inside....

Pretty stinking impressive, huh??  Big sigh...

It's beautiful as a finished product. I love the fact that you're doing it paper pieced. Honestly, I'm also doing it with Homestead Hearth in MO, and they just had us use the templates and what a PAIN! I'm about 5 months behind on that one now, but I've managed to keep up with yours, because it's so much EASIER with the paper piecing method. Can hardly wait until I get mine done too! AND, you guys are so prompt in getting them in the mail each, month, that's really nice too!
