The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) Block 88 Star of Hope

The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) Block 88 Star of Hope

While many of you are waiting for the final part of Bonnie Hunter's 2019 Frolic Mystery, I am quietly sewing up the last few Farmer's Wife blocks. The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) Block 88 Star of Hope is the next in line and I was pleased to finish it over one evening.
With the New Year in full flow, do you have a sampler quilt which you have your eye on?

The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 77 Seasons

The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 77 Seasons

This is the first Farmer's Wife block I have done in 2020 - The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 77 Seasons block.  This was a quick win with just nine pieces, a great way to kick start the piecing for 2020.  I think I just have nine blocks left to do and then to decide how I am going to put them together.

I had a lucky find this morning - I was looking in my English Paper Piecing travel bag and I found this completed block sitting at the bottom, the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 75 Rosebud block.  It looks like quite a simple block, but there are 28 pieces in it.

Getting all these Farmer's Wife Quilt blocks together is within touching distance with about 10 to go. This is the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 87 Star Gardener - pretty pinks, pretty greens.

Some of the little Farmer's Wife blocks I am working through at the moment have quite a few pieces.  This one, the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 79 Silver Lane, has over 40 pieces in a 4.5" block.  I cut out the pieces many months ago in April 2019 - I love that I fussy cut the white pieces!

Here is a block I finished a while ago, which is the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's)  Block 49 Honeycomb.  I thought some bees would appreciate to flowers to collect some honey when I was choosing the fabric.

The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 89 Steps to the Alter

My Farmer's Wife Quilt continues. As we enter into December it makes me wonder if I could get all the blocks done by the end of 2019? This is the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 89 Steps to the Alter quilt block which I finished hand piecing last night.  When I was faced with all the little pieces in a bag it was hard to imagine how this block came together, but when I cut it out (back in April 2019), I was sensible enough to take a photo for reference.

The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 94 Tall Pine Tree

This is the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 94 Tall Pine Tree.  Not the most elegant of blocks, but I tried to make it interesting by having two tones of green and I made sure that the wording in the print was all going in the same direction.

Another outside shot, whilst I catch the last rays of the Autumn sun. Last week here in the UK we had some snow in November - it didn't last for long, but I think it must be the earliest I have ever seen snow.
This is the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 98 Waterwheel. With the winter nights, my regular weekly slot of watching Strictly Come Dancing on a Saturday night is helping these little blocks come together nicely.
