Farmer's Wife continues on.....

Here's another project I worked on at the retreat.......it's more of those Farmer's Wife Sampler blocks. They have such cool names.....

Like Buzzards Roost......where did THAT come from??


Calico Puzzle......



Now I realllllly like this block, Century of Progress.......but I put the blocks together the wrong way, see?
So I invented a new block!!!! What do you think I should call it????

Then there is this block.....it's called "Cats n Mice".



Let's put the photo into the editing program and add a few details.....



Viola! Don't you think that is funny.....I sure did!! And the cat fabric is from my friend Cheryl. She bought it at a store near the retreat, cut it up, and let me have her scraps. Couple hours later, I started doing these blocks and realized one was called Cats n Mice.....so out came the cat fabric scraps. Cool huh!

I still need to decide if I should add eyes, noses and tails on the real block.....what do you think?

Have a good night!

Love the Century of Progress block even is you did it wrong.

Cats and mice....too cute!

Century of Progress made your way could be called Kathy's Puzzle (or maybe Kathy's Mistake?) Yes, definitely add the mice!! What a cute idea.

Definitely need those mice details that looks like a super fun block.
What about millenium progress for your 'new' block? It sure looks good.
And I really like the Orange fabric you have used.
I guess you really meant it when you said in a previous post you sewed for 12 hrs straight.
