Block 80 Patricia Farmers Wife
Block 80 Patricia Farmers Wife
Welcome to this stop for The Farmers Wife 1930s Sampler Quilt QAL hosted by the lovely Kerry of verykerryberry. Here is my block #80 Patricia. I made it using paper piecing patterns in the CD that comes with this book. I didnt look at the beautifully finished block in the book until I was done with mine only because I enjoy a surprise :) We all know the same quilt blocks can look completely different depending on your fabric combinations and how you put them together. So I didnt know that this block, Patricia, was actually one of the blocks on the book cover until I looked inside the book!
It looks pretty different, dont you think?! This is why patchwork is so much fun - endless possibilities!
I love biking everywhere, with two little ones, one in front and the other in the baby carrier attached to me. (It probably sounds weird to some of you, but it is typical around here in Tokyo, where most people dont own a car.)
I had so much fun making this and cant thank my sweet friend Kerry to have me be a part of this journey. This gives me such a great opportunity to make something beautiful and to bring me back the joy patchwork can give me. What positive, uplifting energy!
I have been terrible at keeping you updated. I am so sorry about that! Things are much less hectic here in this household. Honoka is almost three. When she was going through terrible twos, she was like a little crazy monster but now she is a sweet little girl.
Hayato is 9 months old. He is much less colicky and is quite adventurous and mischievous!
I am finally starting to feel more in control and to learn tricks to squeeze in some sewing time here and there. Like many of you kind friends have kindly let me know, it is only a matter of time until I will have more time, energy, and confidence to sew.
I cant wait to connect with the sewing world again, but until then,
I will be enjoying this time when my kids are little, adorable, and crazy as much as I can :) Seeing them grow daily is just beyond thrilling.
If you are reading this because you are subscribed to it, thank you so much for not forgetting about me! I really hope to come back to blogging more often.
Hope you are enjoying the beginning of summer (or winter if you are in Australia/New Zealand) :)
xoxo!
