Description
The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt: A Collection of Letters and Traditional Quilt Blocks from 1920s Farm Wives In 1922, The Farmer's Wife magazine posed a question to its readers: "If you had a daughter of marriageable age, would you, in light of your own experience, have her marry a farmer?" The magazine received over 7,000 letters in response, offering a unique glimpse into the lives of rural women during the 1920s. This book brings together 42 of these letters, along with 111 traditional quilt blocks that were inspired by them. Laurie Aaron Hird provides a comprehensive guide to creating your own sampler quilt, including assembly diagrams, template cutting directions, and full-sized templates for all 111 blocks. With this book, you can create a quilt in any traditional size, from lap to king. The book also includes printable quilt construction diagrams and complete instructions for making a sampler quilt. By exploring the stories and traditions of 1920s farm wives, you can create a meaningful and beautiful quilt that connects you to the past.
