FWQAL: Windows

Windows for the Farmer's Wife Quilt Along came together quickly. I'm looking forward to some more piecing later in the week. Piece, Heather

Periwinkle

Farmer's Wife block 'Periwinkle' is also known as Snowball, Arkansas Snowflake and Arkansas Star variation.

Happy Piecing,

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

The Farmer's Daughter

Another FWQAL block for the stack.

Polka dots + Kaffe=perfect combination for a

rainy day.

Happy Piecing,

FWQAL quickie

Streak of Lightning (#92 in the Farmer's Wife Series) came together quickly this morning. I'm off to add it to the Flickr group and make some fabric selections for the next one. Happy Piecing, Heather
