The Farmer´s Wife Sampler Quilt by Laurie Aaron Hird

Letters from 1920s farm wives and the 111 blocks they inspired plus Bonus CD with 106 piecing templates

In 1922, The Farmer´s Wife Magazine posed this question to their readers: "If you had a daughter of marriageable age, would you, in light of your own experience, have her marry a farmer?" The magazine at that time had 750.000 subscribers, and received over 7.000 letters. The best answers to this question are included in this book, along with the traditional quilt blocks they inspired.

* CD with easy-to-print, full sized templates for all 111 blocks, and printable quilt construction diagrams

* 42 letters from the 1922 Farmer´s Wife contest to give you a priceless glimpse into our country´s past
