FWS

I received my Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt CD ( companion CD for EQ6) today. It got here in just a couple of days. I am excited...I think it will be easier to use than the templates were. It was not as easy to install as the directions said it would be...as a matter of fact, I could not do it the way they said. I had to go in and link it to EQ.
I am still battling cold and chest congestion...went back to the doctor today and got antibiotics this time. I hope I'll be in the sewing mode again soon!!

Learned Something New!!!

This afternoon I learned there is a CD for Electric Quilt 6 for the blocks in The Farmer's Wife Sampler.
I ordered it immediately. Some of my blocks were coming out 7 inches instead of 6 1/2  inches. There is also a Farmer's Wife Sampler group on Yahoo! ... I also joined it. There is also a blog  The Farmer's Wife Quilt by the book's author. (www.thefarmerswifequilt@blogspot.com

Another 2 Blocks Completed

This is Buckwheat and Birds at the Crossroads. As you can see Buckwheat is a half inch larger than it should be...so it looks like I have some ripping and adjusting to do. I have not seen the Buckwheat block before, but I like it. I think at some time in the future I will use Electric Quilt and enlarge it .
     Still battling chest congestion but went to church anyway...it's just not Sunday without church. We had Children's Day...everything was done by the children under 6th grade age. What a lot of talent! I'm thankful to their leaders.
