Adventures In Sewing, Creating and Going Crazy: Farmer's Wife Week 12

Hello! Wow! Motoring along, I finished the Easter dress and more blocks. This week the blocks were fun but many tiny pieces. That's usually loads of fun except I had planned to finish the Easter dress this week as well. Time crunch! So here are the blocks, the Easter dress is in the following post.

Did Farmer's wives break everything in their kitchens? First the sugar bowl, then the dishes... I'm guessing the farmer's wife wants a new dinner table spread.

I remember once my husband brought home a very ethnic, beautiful, ENORMOUS wool rug that took up our entire living room (and our living room is 18X20) that was red, black and white... and our living room at the time was olive green. It was smelly and wooly and seriously did not work with our living room. I tried everything to stain it badly enough that we would have to replace it. I was a spilly talker with my red wine, a noodle swirling, pasta sauce flingin', demanding we eat in the living room (which we never do) crazed woman the entire time that thing lived here. I can't say which stain finally got that thing ejected but I can tell you my husband thought it was such a work of art that he took it to get appraised.

The appraiser looked at it knowingly, turned one of the corners over and proclaimed, "Yup, it's a Jordan's." My husband didn't realize that Jordan's is just a run of the mill rug company and until he was informed he thought he had found a priceless relic. Needless to say, when something turns out to be a dud around here, we dub it a Jordan's. ...And I break it...

points, points, points

This block is so cute. putting it together I kept thinking this can't be right? I haven't unpicked a single thing yet. This can't be right... For some many little pieces you would think it would have given me a hard time. I also didn't trim in before I took a picture. I was way too surprised it was working out to stop for even a single moment!
