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!!
Is that a tossed nine patch
ReplyDeleteIt could be but it was called that in the book. It's definitely a version of a 9-patch.
DeleteLove your fabrics in these--especially that yellow--it sparks them all...cutest kitty!! Hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julierose! I love starting new projects! The 1930's fabrics are so cute!!
DeleteLove your first blocks, Rosemary! I haven't made any of them yet!
ReplyDeleteMolly looks so content in her comfy spot.
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!
Deleteyour blocks are very cheery and Molly looks very comfy in that spot. a cutie pie for sure!
ReplyDeleteThank you! She looks quiet in this picture but she usually runs all over the house! Gets into trouble a lot!!
