Janice Thompson, we are the group on the Farmers' wife Pony Club trail; doing two blocks a week and on our 60th block out of 90.

Laura Aaron B. wrote both the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt and FW pony club based on an old magazine published back in 1910 to 1939. First was a contest for the farmer's wives to write in if they would want their daughters to marry a farmer...and she published some of the letters, and created blocks for each of the 111 stories she told. Then she followed up with the second book based on the ponies children won from the Farmer's Wife Magazine...90 stories and 90 quilt blocks All of us participating have purchased the books...for the right to use the pattern for the blocks. Your Local Quilt Shop or Amazon lists her books.
