"All the quilt patterns featured in the book and on the included CD
are creative and colorful. Of course my favorite part of the book
are all the letters, which gives you a glimpse of what life was
like during the 1930s. Overall, I think this a great book to own
for quilters or historical buffs alike." --Ramblings of a Coffee
Addicted Writer
"If you love a good story, making pieced quilts or enjoy creating
quilts with a variety of different designs, this is an ideal
addition to your bookshelf." --Into Craft
"I liked the original Farmer's Wife book but I love this version.
Each traditional block has been renamed as either a woman's name or
a noun that relates to a woman- like 'Granny'. The blocks vary from
relatively simple to complex with a fiendish number of pieces to
sew together but they are all beautifully presented in a mix of
reproduction fabrics and solids. A range of construction methods
are offered. All the blocks have templates and foundation paper
piecing options and there are rotary cut options for pieces that
can be easily measured." --Very Kerry Berry
"In my wildest dreams I would be able to sit down and enjoyably sew
this entire book (The Farmer's Wife 1930s Sampler Quilt)." --Very
Shannon
