What to think of a block carrying this name. It makes me feel very emancipated all at once. But that is of course the spirit you want to catch by making this Farmers Wife quilt. Getting a feel of the times and surroundings of the women creating these blocks a long time ago. And experiencing those timeless designs that come to life again on your modern sewing machine with modern fabrics. (no, I have not been drinking)
Though maybe hallucinating from to much paperpiecing (LOL). We arrived at number 21. 20 of them in a mosaic make this picture!
