Recovering

We've had the bug from hell over here.  I had no idea that bronchitis was so wicked.  When your family is sick for a week, and then you are gone on vacation for a week, and then return in time to be sick for another week--the laundry sure does pile up.  My house is returning to some semblance of normalcy again now. 

So, anyway, I'm recovering from illness, but not my Farmer's Wife block addiction.

farmer's wife sampler, block 53

#53 is my favorite.  I love the shape of it.  I think that is a block that I'd like to explore again.  On the other hand, poor #46 will need to be redone.  That is the saddest, most crooked block I've made in a long time.  I still had to show it here.  Keepin' it real....

    They're gorgeous...and remind me that I need to get some light-coloured gingham checks into the FW mix.

    I hope each day brings you closer to health and balance :)

    glad to hear you're all getting healthy again over there!
    your blocks are looking lovely, as always.

    so when you redo #46 do you have more of the same fabrics or will you have to change them up?
