Catching Up With the Farmer's Wife QALs

My week off to go exploring the western end of our country created a backlog of Farmer's Wife blocks that needed to be done in order to keep up with both the qals.

I have mentioned that am quilting along with both qals on this to keep my momentum going and to help with a quicker finish :)

The qals are from two great bloggers: Angie from GnomeAngel, who is doing one by skill level starting with easiest and the one I started with, Kerry's from verykerryberry which is going numerical/alphabetical

The majority of the blocks I had to finish to catch up were from the GnomeAngel qal.

Blossom:
Celebrating neighbor's generosity in times of struggle.  I traditionally pieced this one.

 Granny:
Celebrating a grandmother raising her grandchildren.  I paper pieced this one.

Jenny:
This one celebrates taking time to play with your kids so I used a fun kitty conversational print with piano and drums.  I paper pieced this one.

Katherine:
Celebrating happiness in owning one's own farm through struggle and sacrifice.  I paper-pieced this one.

Old Maid:
This one celebrates a woman raising her younger siblings. I traditionally pieced this one.

Susannah:
Celebrates teaching your children to earn the money they spend.  I paper pieced this one.

Whew!  Glad to be caught up :)  That means I now have  23 blocks done of the 99 presented in the book.  About a quarter of the way there!
