In 1922, the very popular The Farmer’s Wife magazine held a contest asking a simple question: “Would you want your daughter to marry a farmer?” Author Laurie Hird has excerpted 55 of the top letters, and using these letters as inspiration, she selected 111 traditional 6-inch quilt blocks and created a tribute quilt to the contest. Each block is fully illustrated and comes with complete cutting templates on the bonus CD*. In addition, she provides complete quilt making instructions for the queen-sized sampler quilt with all 111 blocks, as well as additional instruction on converting the quilt to lap, twin, double and king sizes.

I love historical books because they are so inspiring! It is interesting to know how women lived in the past, expressed their beliefs, and managed to survive without all the luxuries of current times. In 1922, there was a contest in a widely famous magazine called The Farmer's Wife, and they petitioned readers to submit their opinions on whether they wanted their daughters to marry a farmer. In the end, the reader submissions surprised the editors of the magazine!
There are 111 blocks inspired by the letters these women wrote to The Farmer's Wife magazine with excerpts from the letters along with each beautiful block. The blocks wind up in a very beautiful pieced quilt that you can build too! You also get a CD with a larger version of quilt assembly diagrams. You will most certainly enjoy the story along with the delightfully honored blocks to dip your thread into. Wahoo!
