Pat, Pat, Pat!  Sounds like fun!

[Sharon]

Nope! Not getting hooked. I'm having too much fun w/HK, and all my UFOs. Not even sorry. LOL

[betsylynn50]

Yay! I'm on board for this!!

[grantsninnie]

When are we going to start? I need to get all my stuff together. I guess I need to tell the truth, I need to FIND all of my stuff :-)

[lovetostitch]

Gosh, Pat - more confessions?   How did you know I wanted to know what it was like to be a mistress?    !!!
Wonder if I can get that farmer to supply my fabbies?   this sounds like fun with no pressure, to do at leisure!  I'm in!!  It will be a WIP, as it will be a continuing  - like a continued education! LOL!!

[Martha_1]

OK.  Maybe I'm just not informed or something.  These blocks look like the same ones from Sylvia's Sampler.  Am I missing something???

I remember Shirley wanted to do this one!

[Sarah Vee]

OH boy!
mix history with quilt blocks and I'm in!

Now to find the book - and decide how I'm going to play. Limit my colour choices or go stash mad all the way.

How much trouble can 6 inch blocks be

[Pat]

There are several quilts out with smaller blocks... this one the book as letters between the couple (or so I read)...

Ok.. a Mistress is MUCH BETTER than being the wife.. LESS work and they have to buy us shiny stuff.. cool eh?

So the Farmer's MISTRESS it is! I'm off to take photo of the fabric I'm using.... same as the heart fabric but putting in some novelties!

[Pat]

As the Farmer's Mistress.. I prefer to be a mermaid.. I wonder where I put this fabric?

[Pat]

first search did not find the mermaids.. grrr....

[Pat]

found the fabric!!!

also this is the story behind the quilt.. the Farmer's Wife Quilt and book

    111 six-inch quilt blocks, with assembly diagrams for piecing the blocks and template cutting directions

    Complete instructions for making a sampler quilt in any traditional size: lap, twin, queen, or king

    CD with easy-to-print, full-sized templates from all 111 blocks, and printable quilt construction diagrams

    55 letters from the 1922 "Do You Want Your Daughter to Marry a Farmer? contest to give you a priceless glimpse into our country's past

[lovetostitch]

Does this book come with a CD?  I thought you weren't ordering CDs - Is this your line of fabbie you will be using?  Very cute - your mermaid must live in a pond on the farm - LOL!!! 

[chouxqltr]

Good memory, Cynthia!!  Yes, I have the templates ready and the book...but going to play along?  Well..... "maybe"     Time will tell.
