Block 20 - Caroline Well the Farmer’s Wife 1930s sew-along over at Gnome Angel got over to a chaotic start due to there being over 4000 participants – WOWEE! But all is settling down now with two blocks every week. The order of the blocks for each sew-along is different so I shall post the blocks I have made for both sew-alongs this past fortnight. Below you will find a picture together with the journal notes for each block. Block 5 - Anne. Paper-pieced. “Made slight error in fabric placement but block is still pretty.” Farmer's Wife Block 5 - Anne Block 6 - April. Paper-pieced. “A lot of work. Important to have pieces marked with colour as it is easy to get muddled.” Tip: If paper-piecing you can combine E4 and E5 into one piece and F3 and F4 into one piece. Farmer's Wife Block 6 - April Block 7 – Augusta–the-First. Paper-pieced. “6¼” finished which is disappointing as it was a lot of work.“ Farmer's Wife Block 7 - Augusta-the-First. I remade this block using Very Kerry Berry’s wonderful tips and the paper-pieced Augusta-the-second turned out to the correct size of 6½" ...... Farmer's Wife Block 7 - Augusta-the-Second Block 8 - Aunt. Patchwork. "Easy patchwork block." Farmer's Wife Block 8 - Aunt Block 12 - Becky. Patchwork. “Easy – very easy. Great stash buster.” Farmer's Wife Block 12 - Becky Block 14 - Betty. Patchwork. “Quick and easy patchwork using half-square triangles”. Farmer's Wife Block 14 - Betty Block 16 - Bonnie. Patchwork. “Easy to patch.” Farmer's Wife Block 16 - Bonnie Block 20 - Caroline. Patchwork. “Easy patchwork using half-square-triangles. Very pretty – love it.” If you want to patch this block with easy half-square-triangles then this tutorial from Elven Garden will show you how. Farmer's Wife Block 20 - Caroline Now the sew-alongs are settling down I shall post each week showing the four blocks made that week from both groups.
