Wednesday - I'm on island time.

Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt - Aug 3

Here are my Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt blocks so far. I have 14 done. A bit behind, this week should be 18, but now that I am back to sewing, I should be able to catch up soon.

Snowball - #81 Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt

This one is Snowball, #81. I love the simplicity of the snowball block, one day it alone will make a wonderful quilt.

Whirlpool - #102 Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt

This one is Whirlpool, #102. I used water colours to add to the effect.

Clay's Choice - Mystery Quilt QAL

I am also catching up on the Mystery Quilt QAL. This block is called Clay's Choice.

Friendship Stars - Mystery Quilt QAL

I am sure you recognize Friendship Stars. I so love the friendship star block, I am going to start a quilt of these soon.

Mystery Quilt QAL blocks - Aug 3

Here are my Mystery Quilt blocks so far. I am not yet finished the most recent instructions, so even with this progress I am still behind.

Aqua and Orange Bee

These are my blocks for Alix for my Twelve Month Quilting Bee. These blocks are called garden fence and a tutorial is here at Hyacinth Quilts.

I have many other projects to get to work on, but living on an island for the month means that I am working on being more laid back (clearly something I need more practice at). I will update you as I go, but I am not stressing about it today.

I am linking up to WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced. Please go and see what everyone is up to, I am looking forward to catching up with all the wonderful work that is always there.

Good to hear you're not stressing! Your blocks are beautiful, I can see why you would want to remake some as whole quilts. I esp. like garden fence, so modern and fresh. Jxo

All the blocks are so good. Checking out the tutorial to the garden fence as soon as I'm done with this. Thanks! :)
Spending a whole month on an island! Wow!

I love the colours you've chosen for Farmer's Wife. They are so vibrant.

A month on an island sounds like pure bliss. Have room for one more? :)

Love your FW blocks. I have refused to get bitten by the bug because I already have so much going on but I can see that I will have to do this one before it's all said and done.
