Turkey Tracks:
August Farmer’s Wife Blocks
There are 99 blocks in this project. A group of Coastal Quilters of Maine are doing eight a month. These blocks were designed by Laurie Aaron Bird in her THE FARMER’S WIFE 1930s SAMPLER QUILT project. We are foundation piecing these intricate blocks and are mostly on track. I’ve got posts for all that I have done is you want to see them.
No. 57, Margaret: The cat fabric and the non-polka dot fabric are Cotton + Steel.
No. 58, Martha: The bright green fabric is Japanese.
No 59, Mary: The green fabric is a new Cotton + Steel fabric from the Portugal collection. Just bought some of it in the mustard color.
No 60, Mary Gray: These fabrics are all Japanese.
No 61, May: The blue and cream fabrics are Japanese. The pink is Cotton + Steel. This block was challenging.
No. 62, Milly: The blue and cream/figured fabrics are Japanese. This block works better “on point.” And I think the white is not working so well. It’s hard to tell sometimes.
No. 63, Mollie: All Japanese Fabrics. This one was…HARD!
No 64, Monette: The orange fabric is Japanese, the others Cotton + Steel. I like the way these fabrics work together. Dear God, do you see all those TINY squares???
As Lynn Vermeulen said a while back, “the M’s go on forever”!!! I just printed out the last 10 of them–my goal for September.
No 75 is “Nan,” and I will have TWENTY TWO blocks to go.
