Modern quilt teacher and patterns
Earlier this year, as I was assessing what quilty goals I’d like to achieve over 2018, I realised that I wanted to pick up my Spanish Farmer quilt project again. I accepted the fact that I was well and truly over the 1930s Farmer’s Wife book, and decided to instead make up the rest of the block count with other… Read More
No, don’t fall over in shock, I haven’t made any further progress through the 1930s Farmer’s Wife quilt book, I’ve just had this post sitting in my drafts for months and months. This was actually one of the first blocks I ever made from the book! Seriously, this draft has been sitting here since October 2015. Far out! And now, it’s… Read More
Oh my poor Farmer’s Wife quilt… it got a bit left behind in all that moving I did last year! I think I made one block after leaving Japan?! And then the 100 Blocks project took over my 6″ sampler timeslot 😉 But I am determined to get it done and finished this year. Like with my Tula Blue quilt,… Read More
I’m rather glad that it’s my turn to share a tutorial again, because it forced me to pick up my overstuffed plastic folder of patterns and fabric and actually make one of them! First time in months, although international moves closely followed by an interstate move will do that to your sewing. It’s also “interesting” trying to take blog photos… Read More
I am now one-third of the way through the 1930’s Farmer’s Wife Sampler Quilt! I’ve made 34 blocks and that’s definitely a milestone worth celebrating by sharing a (very) cobbled together image of what my overall quilt is shaping up to look like. It feels slightly traitorous to Kate Spain to admit that I’m actually going to be using this… Read More
Today’s blocks are an odd assortment from December and January – two made in an attempt to catch up, and one because I just really wanted to make a block and it was one of the simpler options from January to “whip” up! I say “whip” with air quotes because it turned out to be a bit tricky, but I’ll… Read More
Today there’s a couple of blocks that I forgot to share! With all my organising and packing and destashing, a couple of blocks got lost in the mix. Not literally lost, nothing that dramatic! Just that my usual workflow from making the blocks to blogging them got interrupted and Cat and Mrs Morgan almost never made it to the blogging… Read More
At last, I finished month 2’s blocks for my Farmer’s Wife 1930s Sampler Quilt! Thankfully month 3 was only a handful of blocks and a few weeks off, so I was able to catch up and am now up to date. But first, let’s round out month 2… Grandma I was originally thinking about rotary cutting and piecing Grandma, until… Read More
Today I have two blocks to share with you as a part of the Farmer’s Wife 1930s Sampler Quilt QAL! When I sat down and looked at these blocks, I could see why these blocks are being released together. They both involved the same basic nine-patch block structure, they both have four half-square triangles, and they both have economy squares… Read More
I’m a little behind, which I’m sure won’t be the first time! But I’ve got four more blocks to show off today from month 2 of the Farmer’s Wife 1930s Sampler Quilt sew along. Aimee Pretty little Aimee! In Year 8 French, we had to choose a French name for ourselves, and then we celebrated our Name Day throughout the… Read More
