The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt: 55 Letters and the 111 Blocks They Inspired
Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
This coloring book turns the blocks from a popular quilting series into line drawings for readers to color. The designs draw on patterns shaped by letters written by farm wives in the 1920s and 1930s, a reminder of rural life and of the resilience of women during the Great Depression. Each block appears as a detailed outline with fabric-style motifs to fill in, and the pages are perforated so they can be removed. Seven additional patchwork designs round out the collection, offering a relaxed way to take up creative work and to think about the quilting traditions of America.
