More fabric

Just some more fat quarters "in the 30's spirit" and one batik I could not resist.   The rose bedecked fabric below is aqua colored in background with white dots, just gorgeous and it was on sale.   The color and beauty really doesn't come through on my photos.

Farmer's Wife 1930's Sampler - Grandmother

I never had a grandmother (both my parents parents died when they were young) but if I had I like to think she would have worn a print dress like the print in this block.

New project underway - Thirty Something

From a quilt on the cover of American Patchwork and Quilting Issue #134, June 2015, that I at first thought I (and my stash) wasn't up to.   I am now underway on it and just loving it.

Here is how I am holding my 1 1/2" squares and below it my 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" bits.

Farmer's Wife 1930's - New block

This block is called Tirzah and it is my 12th block done!

New fabrics!

Because I am working now on 2 1930's style quilts I needed a few more fabrics - don't we always?
Yesterday I was out looking for local stuff and having been looking at lots of old 1930's adds I had styles and colors in mind and found this.  Between it all it is 16 1/2 yards!
