Then, Sunni e-mailed me to see if I was interested in being part of her blog hop Farmer's Wife in your Life. I, of course, said yes. And now it is getting underway! So, here are the details {and I designed the button too!}:
Farmer's Wife in Your Life is a series inspired by The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt
by Laurie Aaron Hird. The series will focus on using 6" quilt blocks in everyday sewing projects {you don't have to tackle the whole quilt to make good use of the blocks!}.
It starts with a preview post on Jolly Jabber on March 4th!
Here's the schedule:
Linky Party at Love Affair with my Brother will be open from March 24-31 with 2 winners announced the next week. You can link up any project that is inspired by The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt and uses between 1-9 6" finished quilt blocks. The blocks do not have to come from the book.
Please link up a blog post or Flickr photo for your entry.

I hope you join in the fun! I cannot wait to see what everyone comes up with {and now I need to busily get back to making my blocks!}. Have a happy weekend!
Oh great.....now I have to join in on this too :) Ha!!!! My mom bought the book for me for my birthday in Feb. I love it too! I can't wait to get started. I have too many projects for sure :) How do you keep up with a little one to look after? Amazing!
ReplyDeleteWonderful. I have been gathering what I felt I needed for the Farmers Wife Quilt and deciding which piece from my stash to incorporate. I'll see if I can follow along. I bought the book because I feel I am an old Iowa farm girl at heart since both my folks came from there. @ Karen, I can relate to having too many projects. Oh well!
ReplyDeleteI just bought that book a few weeks ago and have been itching to get going on it....now I have a reason too! Like most quilters, I have a few too many projects going. So, this weekend I MUST finish them up! Looking forward to starting this. Thank you, Kerri
