It's almost Celebration time! I have sewn my LAST Pieced Farmer's Wife Block. That mean's all of my September and October Blocks are DONE!
It wasn't easy but I had a lot of alone time this week-end. I had finished sewing with one more blocks to make at the stroke of Midnight Saturday night. I had the strips sewn for #83 but needed to cut them with my Kaleido-Ruler and finish that block this morning.
This is how the ruler looks, placed on the strip set. The ruler even has the Corner Triangles marked on the opposite corner. No extra template/ruler needed. THANKS MARTI! It is well-marked and easy to use.
I sewed a couple more Paper-pieced blocks this week, too. Lynn would be proud. My #94 Tall Pine Tree Block gave me a bit of extra trouble. See the photo to the left. A bit of un-sewing, removing the center strip (trunk) and stitching it onto the correct side and Voila' It's Done!
Only 4 more of the dreaded PP blocks and I'll be completely finished with my Farmer's Wife Blocks. It's the last week of September and I could have it to Flimsy before the end making my journey a full 9 months of sewing the Farmer's Wife Quilt.

Second time winner





Congrats on getting to the finish of TFW! I'm up to about 55-ish, and I keep plugging along in fits and starts. Have you seen the photos of completed tops on flickr? Very inspirational!
ReplyDeleteMary, all your blocks are marvelous! Your trees are so real-looking, I can almost smell the pine!! :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing and beautiful (as usual)! I haven't been able to work on my FW quilt at all. I'm grateful for my full-time job working at home writing but it sure cuts into my sewing time! Thanks for sharing!
