The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 75 Rosebud

The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 75 Rosebud

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.

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.

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.

This is The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's) 98 Waterwheel.  Today I thought I would show you an 'in progress' shot.  I carry my English Paper Piecing around a lot, so for convenience I usually lay my little pieces out on a teatowel. It is quite grippy and if I need to stand up or move it suddenly, they can be neatly folded up and put to the side without too much disruption.
Have a happy sewing day!

It is the end of October and here in the UK we have a bright sunny morning, so I thought I would take advantage of the lovely weather to do an outside shoot for my Farmer's Wife block today. The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt (20's)  91 Strawberry Basket is the latest of blocks which I have been stitching whilst the dancing is on the television.
