Farmer's Wife Blocks

Friday Block Talk
It's been awhile since I sat down to make a few Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt blocks.  I really enjoyed making these!  I had fun looking through my laundry basket of Denyse Schmidt fabrics to pick the fabrics. 

 Block # 27:  Darting Birds
#27   Darting Birds       Susie's Sunroom
Block # 28:   Duck and Ducklings

#28  Duck and Ducklings    Susie's Sunroom

 Block # 29:  Economy
#29  Economy     Susie's Sunroom
I really like this Economy block!  I can see making a quilt with this block , where I want to feature some cute fabrics in the center.

 Block # 30 :  End of Day
#30    End of Day    Susie's Sunroom
You can see all of my completed Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt blocks :

 Here  at the FWSQ Page  ,  at the top of my blog under the header    

 and

 Here   in my FWSQ  Flickr Group
I think I'll be adding to my pile of FWSQ blocks this summer.  They are very relaxing for me to make ( by paper pieced foundation!)

 What do you like to sew, that is relaxing?
I'm off to my sewing room!

    Such lovely blocks Susie - Both here and on your FWSQ page! i have a tendency to get giddy over your fabric choices and you've done that to me here again. Looking forward to every block!
    I find monotonous piecing of any kind relaxing. You know, where you get into a rhythm while sewing things in batches?

    Isn't it theraputic to just go through a series? I really like the fabrics you've chosen in all of them. Nice! It's funny how blocks can look so much better when someone else does them!

    These are so cute! I especially love the fussy-cut economy block!
