Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt Week 8 Blocks13 - 16

I got caught up on my farmer's wife blocks yesterday. It had been 2 weeks since I made one and was falling behind. I really love these blocks. I like to cut the fabric for a few blocks at a time and then sew them up at one time. And I'm still really enjoying the Strawberry Fields fabric. I did have a few issues with size this time but I think it will be fine. I used my old singer for 2 blocks and they were smaller than the others. I rely on the markings on my machine and walking foot more than I realized.

I caught up on some bee blocks too!

This will become a kitchen aide for Lauree for the cocorico bee. This block is really fun! I ♥ it!

I also finished 2 blocks for Erin, her month is July for the Aqua and Red Bee! I loved the fabrics for these!

Thanks for the kind comments about the last little quilt I really appreciate them. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Stay cool (or warm) depending on where you are :)
