Hello All!
Friday came and went, and I haven't really stopped long enough since to post my Farmer's Wife progress for week 9. It was a lovely and busy weekend and we spend most of it outside. Me, dreaming up new gardens and gathering seeds, and the boys getting lots of fresh air chasing red dragonflies. I can totally imagine a rocky hillside covered in Creeping Thyme... :)

| It was so hard to take a picture, but I managed to 'hang it' from my wardrobe! But if you press on the picture you can get a much better close-up. Turned out nice, huh? :) |
This morning I put the last stitches in my gigantic 36-patch quilt top. And I can honestly say that I am itching to start hand-quilting it. However, it will have to wait its turn, because my Klosjes-quilt is finally getting quilted in these cooler evenings.

Your blocks are gorgeous! And that is one amazing quilt. Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh; I love that quilt. Although it makes me slightly dizzy thinking of how many seams you had to sew ;). It must be very heavy with all that seam allowance! Your farmer's wife blocks are fantastic too. Enjoy Autumn.
ReplyDeletePS: I will get a picture of that orange sofa ;)
Wow your 36 patch is looking fabulous!! I love all your FW blocks too - having trouble deciding on my favourite. Your nautical colour scheme is really effective.
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoyed seeing your farmers wife blocks coming along.
ReplyDeleteWe are on choas again here, with the latest round in our refurb, but I am still sewing! Hand quilting the pink snowball lap quilt for Mum.
I can just smell your creeping thyme!
Goed werk dame! En met al die mooie FWQ-blokjes ben je me nu een kilometer voorbij! Ik mag niet met snijmessen en andere scherpe dingen spelen momenteel dus de boel ligt hier stil helaas.
ReplyDeleteBen benieuwd welke blokjes je vrijdag post.
Unexpected moments of stitching bliss... I really like that! Your blocks are so lovely! I look forward to seeing your quilting progress on your klosjes!!
ReplyDeleteThat 36 patch quilt is amazing! Your quilt blocks are really pretty. I can't wait to see them in a quilt.
ReplyDeleteI did 'press' on the photo and that really is lovely,a lot of piecing in that. Nice FW blocks, looks like I will have to watch this space with all the nice things you are making.

ReplyDeleteThe 16sq quilt is beautiful.
Glad you all spent time out doors sounds like life is progressing according to plan.
Your 36-patch quilt is wonderful! Like what you are doing with the farmers wife blocks. I was thinking of doing mine with some blue and red reproduction fabrics. I bought the book but haven't taken the plunge. Are you hand piecing?
ReplyDeleteLovely blog.
Your projects are so beautiful, the 36 patch turned out to be a stunner. I love the fabrics you've chosen for the CW blocks. Enjoy your hand quilting!
