  1. I bought the book a few years ago just have not gotten around to doing this quilt.

    I am excited. But what do you mean by "grab a button" I am assuming it is reference to adding something to my blog to link to this particular blog post.

  3. This is exciting. I have a stack of various 30's prints ready to go. Now I need to check my solid stash to see if it needs some 30's kind of updating. 🙂

  5. I have 'The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt" book that is "Letters from 1920s farm wives" Will this book work for this quilt along?

  6. I have a bunch of blocks given to me when I was going through illness and chemo and too ill to participate in a swap with online friends. This will be a fun way to, perhaps, fill in the blocks I do not have. Thanks!
