A Neglectful Farmer's Wife

I feel like it has been forever since I have sewn a Farmer's Wife block, so last night I decided to stop being so neglectful and be a dedicated Farmer's Wife again and sew a few blocks together.


FWS#61 Northern Lights

FWS#62 Old Windmill

FWS#67 Pine Tree

FWS#68 Postage Stamp
I have skipped a few in-between these ones due to the fact they will probably need to be paper pieced. I have drawn out a few on graph paper to see if I can somehow rotary cut them but I find doing any blocks that have unusual angles like FWS#60 Noon and Night or rectangles or square pieces set on point FWS#58 Mothers Dream very hard to draw out and work out the measurements for. I will need to do a hunt around in blogland and see if anyone has tutorials on how to do this.


I have also managed to find from my local $2 store an A4 pad of Newsprint paper which I am hoping will be great for paper piecing patterns. I will give it a go with my next paper pieced block.

  1. I made "Mother's Dream" block on the weekend and it wasn't hard at all! You should try it with the templates! And I use a scrapbook type paper for my paper piecing and it works a treat! Good luck!
