I've noticed most people say you will either love it or hate it. I loved it.
I'm doing the Farmer's Wife as well. I want to pp as many blocks as I can. I'm having trouble finding the patterns to print out for the 6" foundations though.
Don't give up you will get it.
My DVD didn't make it yesterday, but I'm going to give it another solo go today. The FWS has a lot of blocks with triangles so that where the tricky is. I understand her DVD has more then just a video of how to do it. I really want to know how to do the fabric calculations too. I'm glad it's working for you. Makes me hopeful! Thanks!
