Farmers Wife - still catching up.

 I am still catching up with my Farmers Wife blocks. I have a few friends sewing along too. We were hoping to get 2 blocks done a week. Sometimes this happens and more times than not it doesn’t. I have a few more blocks to show. Thankfully some easy ones were done. Here are the blocks for May 24th.

Blocks 39 & 88


I use the easy 8 method and make 8 at a time 1/2 square triangles. I can then trim them to the perfect size with my bloc loc ruler.


Next up blocks 6 & 13 for May 31st


Slowly getting the blocks joined using the webbing method.


And here it is. Looking very pretty.


These are only 6” blocks and some have taken up to 5 hours to make 1 block.
Here is the next row ready to sew onto the quilt.
