Periwinkle

Farmer's Wife block 'Periwinkle' is also known

as Snowball, Arkansas Snowflake and Arkansas Star variation.

Happy Piecing,

Heather

Traditional Block: English Ivy

I first saw this pattern at the International Quilt Show at Rosemont 

where a beautiful antique quilt called 'tobacco leaf' stole my heart. 

The majority of blocks I've found with tobacco in the title consist of curved pieces.

It took quite a while to track the original pattern down... 

I finally found it and whipped up a quick block 

for the RSVP fundraiser quilt. 

The English Ivy Vintage Pattern dates back to the early 1900s,

appearing in the Kansas City Star in 1931.

Can't you just see a whole quilt of these beauties?

Happy Piecing,

Heather

Polka dots + Kaffe=perfect combination for a

FWQAL quickie

Streak of Lightning (#92 in the Farmer's Wife Series)

I'm off to add it to the Flickr group

and make some fabric selections for the next one.

Have a wonderful day

Happy Sewing,
