Farmer's Wife Sew Along Begins!

                                                                     


The Farmer's Wife Sew Along finally began! I had fun buying some 1930's repro fabrics. They're so pretty! The colors are so bright and cheerful which is surprising since the 1930's were not a fun time.
Anyways, we started by making 2 blocks.

The block on the left is Bonnie. Becky is the block on the right. We started with simpler blocks and will work our way up to the harder ones. Another block was released tonight so we'll make 3 blocks this week. Most weeks, we'll only make 2 blocks. We have the option of paper piecing, rotary cutting, English paper piecing or templates. It's a fun project! We're all sharing pictures of our blocks on Facebook and Instagram. 


 Just thought I'd show a cute picture of Molly while she was sleeping. She's so cute! She gets into lots of trouble when she's awake. Don't let the cute face fool you!!

    1. I haven't started the third one yet. They're pretty fast. I'm sewing sleeves which is nice to do while sitting on the couch. I like that! Molly is in the same spot right now!

A Couple of Finishes

The Christmas table runners have their binding! I started sewing the binding on the runner on the left. They're not very large so it'...
