Kurzbeschreibung
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 excerpt 55 of the top letters submitted to the magazine editors for the contest and has selected 111 traditional 6" quilt blocks and created a tribute quilt to the contest. Each block is fully illustrated as to construction and comes with complete cutting templates (found on the CD). In addition, the reader is provided with complete quiltmaking instructions for the queen-sized sampler quilt (constructed 'on point') with all 111 blocks, and additional instruction on converting the quilt to lap size, twin size, double, and king size. Introduction, resources and index are included.
Über den Autor

Format:Taschenbuch
Das neue Buch mit Blöcken für einen Patchwork-Sampler ist für Freunde von historischen Geschichten rund um Quilts und alle Samplernäherinnen bestens geeignet. Vorsicht, der Suchtfaktor ist hoch.
Vergleichbar ist diese Sammlung mit Büchern von Rosemary Youngs "The Civil War Diary Quilt", "The Civil War Lave Letter Quilt" oder der "Amish Circle Quilt".
Daneben sind bereits andere Bücher erschienen, deren Zusammenstellungen unzählige Male nachgenäht wurden und werden: Dear Jane, Dear Hannah, Sylvias Bridal Sampler, Nearly Insane, Dutch Treat, ... um nur einige zu nennen.
Eine CD hilft beim Ausdrucken der Blöcke.

Overall Satisfaction
18. September 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
Laurie's new book is delightful to look at and, the finished quilt is beautifl even though the fabrics do not reflect the era.
The biggest problem with the book no where does it state the actual size of the template pieces. All 106 templates are one to a page and therefore, you need to waste paper and ink to print these out. Laurie and the publisher should get on board with today's quilter. With effort and patience you could locate these public domain blocks in BlockBase and print from there.
I would hesitate to purchase another one of Lauie's book without seeing it in person.

No instructions for the CD
15. September 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I received this book yesterday after much anticipation and it is not what I expected. Unlike the Civil War quilt book, the patterns are not diagrammed full size and there are no measurements so it is impossible to make the blocks unless you get the templates from the CD. However, as yet I have not had any luck getting the CD to load. I cannot find any instructions on using the CD anywhere in the book. Also the paper used for the pages is not good quality in my opinion. That being said, this is a beautiful quilt and the letters are wonderful to read. I would still like to make this quilt but unless I can figure out how to load the CD, I will have to redraft every block! If anybody has any suggestions, please let me know.

The CD is fine now thanks to suggestions from many people. It is not a program but just a file of the templates, one per page. Most of the blocks are very easy to redraft and that is what I am doing as I make the blocks. This is really a beautiful quilt and book. I do wish there was a file to print out ALL the templates on a few pages as this would save lots of paper. I also would have prefered the CD to include the full size diagrams of each block. That being said I would still highly recommend this book to any quilter.

Not what it promises
18. April 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
The book review says "everything you need to create.....quilt." Well, that's not true. The book itself does not contain any patterns. If you just want to read the stories it's very nice. If you want to quilt--things are lacking. In addition to the book you'll need a computer and lots of paper. For quilters who don't have or use computers, having to have the patterns printed for them at a copy store will add perhaps $l0 to $15 to the cost of the book. Some 100+ pages of patterns. As other reviewers have noted that's excessive. One little pattern piece per page. In addition, I didn't catch in the reviews that there are errors in the book. It's necessary to go to the book's website and find a list of errors and their corrections. I've done a lot of sampler quilts and most of those patterns have written and printed pattern instructions on 8 pages or so. Nice stories--otherwise big disappointment, inconvenient, and added expense to create a quilt.
