It's snowing in Minnesota. I'm chilling in my sewing room watching Project Runway Allstars season 2 and really enjoying how my Farmer's Wife SAL is coming out. I posted in FB a few weeks ago about this SAL and the fabrics I'm using which are Tula Pink All Stars solids. The question was should I do the blocks with all the colors - mixed up - or different shades of the same color? I think the responses were split but I decided on the same color with different shades. Pictures below of the first 3 blocks #Addie #Aimee #Alice. Aimee and Alice are paper pieced. I love paper piecing. I'm getting ready to do a big paper pieced project soon. Perhaps something from Sassafras Lane. Sue M? Ready for another one? I actually purchased the foundation papers for Empire Place the other day. Back to Farmers Wife..... I really appreciate all the information provided from www.gnomeangel.com and the CD that comes with the Farmer's Wife book. I'm going to make all 99 blocks which is the queen size. I printed out that sheet, put a small swatch of each fabric on the edge, and then used pencils to color in the blocks. I'm really stoked with how it looks.
Pretty blocks!
