I have the 1981 Penguin edition, which I bought after seeing the BBC Dramatisation on Christmas Day 1978. It’s the kind of book you can dip into aytime and find a useful nugget. Your ‘folk art’ complements it very well.Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020904173403709669.post-66821471569328621142012-01-16T18:53:10.499+00:002012-01-16T18:53:10.499+00:00I just love your wonderful blog, cheers me up no e...I just love your wonderful blog, cheers me up no end.

The quilting blocks are looking beautiful, it looks like a real project to be enjoyed as you complete it bit by bit. I bought a few more fabrics the other day for the start of my quilt - though it could be a long while until I actually make a start! hehe. At least I will be able to come over here for some inspiration before I do :) Hope the rest of your week is just as sunny and bright, Jenny xxxJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09849651744135031680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020904173403709669.post-43907189460218777902012-01-16T16:44:36.779+00:002012-01-16T16:44:36.779+00:00Hi Helen, you are really tempting me to do a littl...Hi Helen, you are really tempting me to do a little quilting. I prefer to sew by hand as I get a bit frantic on the machine. I really love quilts and always love to see yours, your sense of colour is so good.<br /><br />I hadn't heard of 'The Farmer's Wife' but it sounds up my street. I will see if I can get a copy. Thanks for the inspiration and have a creative week!

I enjoyed seeing your quilting pieces as well as the older folk art style ones you've made. Today, I'm going to organize a cupboard than has bits and pieces of fabric and so forth, notebook at the ready, and see if any inspiration strikes!<br />One little thing: I have started a link-up called Sunny Sunday (in its second week) that shares posts on either literal or figurative sunlight. Should you be at all interested, I invite you to link "Sew Sunny" to yesterday's event. It's quite all right if this is not "your cup of tea" and decide against it!<br />Bye for now,<br />KarenMy Little Home and Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01519563352358635257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020904173403709669.post-66301977938354200592012-01-16T14:24:31.100+00:002012-01-16T14:24:31.100+00:00Loving your blocks the fabric and colours are so p...Loving your blocks the fabric and colours are so pretty.
