New Farmer's Wife Blocks

Wild Geese

Mother's Dream

Buckwheat, version two!

Three more blocks, experimenting with Marti Michell's templates from set A borrowed from a friend, for Mother's Dream and Wild Geese, which both went together reasonably well and ended up the right size!
Buckwheat I have remade, using the paper templates from the CD as my first version was rather too big.

Buckwheat and bias edges.

Buckwheat block.

Here are the two little blocks I made today. One for me and one for Ruth in her 1930s colourway. This is a rather challenging block as there are lots of seams to make the sizing tricky and of course template cut triangles have lots of bias edges!



It isn't a bad idea to make one for yourself first as a practice!!

The cat has just brought in a mouse - for the second time. We shouted at her and she took it out but she brought it in again and it's currently cowering behind the loo!

I often catch them and put them out in the shrubs by the front door, but there is often a little body, or pile of innards on the doormat in the morning.
