We are on to week 37 of our Farmer's Wife Quilt-along, with just two more to go after this one! We have three more fairly simple blocks for this week.
- Block 73 - Rainbow Flowers
- Block 76 - Sawtooth
- Block 84 - Spool
Farmer's Wife - Week 36 - Our Blocks
Our blocks for week 36 of the Farmer's Wife Quilt-along came out nicely. In addition to good progress on the project, we've also been organizing! If you haven't seen my recent posts on a few projects I finished in my sewing room, check out my new thread shelf and my ruler organizer.
Beth organized the remaining fabric for this project, quilting tools, sewing table, ironing board, and loose-leaf binder; cleaned her sewing machine, basket of mending (and mended several things), other quilting fabrics, and cut up two old blouses to make into book covers. Whew!

Two More Blocks - Blue & White Sampler
Last week I shared the Lone Star block I made for my Blue & White Sampler quilt. Well, I've finished two more blocks; Swoon and an un-named block I stumbled on.
They are very similar, but since I made them different sizes, they look very different.

Lone Star Block - Blue & White Sampler
I have not made the Lone Star block before now, but I had fun making this one using the instructions found on the Hopeful Homemaker, which are just excellent!
I'm very pleased with how it turned out and will use this method again.
I hadn't shared yet that I'm working on another sampler quilt, this time in blue and white, but also a less structure quilt. I discovered this post on Sew Mama Sew that describes a clever way to make a sampler quilt with different sized blocks. I love new ideas and decide to jump right in.
I'm starting with a few large blocks; this one and the Feathered Star block I wrote about in January. I'll continue to share my blocks for the Blue & White Sampler, as they are complete.
