Week One - Farmer's Wife 1930s Sew Along
Hello Everyone! This week was a busy one full of excitement and fun for all of us participating in the sew along. So many beautiful blocks in all kinds of fabric combinations you can view if you join the Facebook Group. Print combinations I never would have thought could go together look great. A benefit of a sew along with over 3,000 people! On Saturday, of each week I am going to try my best and do a post for the link up party to show you my blocks for the last week. There will be (4) weeks over the next year when I will be a Blogger of the Week.
Week One Farmer's Wife 1930's Sampler Quilt Sew-along Link Up Party - GnomeAngel is on Saturday in the USA just for those of you waiting until Sunday, which will be Monday in Australia.
