Interesting book with lots of inspiration
#1
Found it at Borders (at their going out of business sale) - The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt, Letters from 1920s farm wives and the 111 blocks they inspired. I haven't read the letters yet, but the quilt blocks look great! They are all traditional blocks, and ds and I were having fun browsing it and dreaming up quilts to make.

It appears that all the women that sent in letters had wonderful farm lives that they really enjoyed and were sort of removed from what was going on during those times because of their lifestyle on a farm....and being blessed with a good husband from what they wrote!

nightengale, would you be interested in sending those full size templates to me in Kentucky? I want to work on this with my 84-year-old Mother who still quilts - by hand! And, that would save me so much time. Please let me know. You can email me at [email protected] please. Thank you!
