I call them "masterpieces" because I get such a great sense of achievement from finishing each little 6" block. Perhaps it's because I'm hand piecing them and I get to spend a little more time with each block, quietly sewing away ... peaceful ... apart from when I'm working with these black and white stripes - pow!

Nor is it peaceful working with this orange - double pow!

| Farmer's Wife Block 15 "Buzzard's Roost" |
After all that action I decided it was time to give my eyes a little rest ..

| Farmer's Wife Block 4 "Basket Weave" |
Ah yes ... feeling much calmer now ... and that's 3 more to add to the Progress Chart.
Hope you are all having a productive week? I'm playing with a new toy ... or rather, reading A LOT of an instruction manual at the moment, but it will be oh.so.worth.it!

Great farming! You put the pow in plow! ;)
ReplyDeleteThese are such cute blocks. I love the fussy cut flower in the second one. Great job hand sewing.
ReplyDeletebeautiful blocks Serena!!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful! I'm going to continue to be impressed by your patience and skill :)
ReplyDeleteIt does take me a minute to catch on. Farming from Farmer's Wife blocks... But I got it! Your hand stitching is incredible. Those blocks are each so perfectly pieced! Love the stripes! And the Buzzard's Roost fussy flower center is gorgeous! The basket weave is such a soothing yellow and grey. This is going to be one sweet quilt!
ReplyDeleteGo for it, great Farmers Wife blocks so far :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks great so far. Really like your color choices.
ReplyDeleteLove the orange one! I saw this book in our local bookshop last week and straight away thought of you hand sewing everyone of them - it's going to be a fabulous quilt!
ReplyDeleteLooking good!
