Farmer's Wife quilt block swap

I've been talking with some of the ladies on about.com's quilting forum about doing a swap for Farmer's wife quilt blocks. I'm hoping to post some links to places on the web you can purchase a copy of the book at a decent price. Amazon and half.com a good blog that has instructions for making and storing the templates If you already own Marti Mitchell templates they can be used to make these blocks. templates ">set B ">set A ">set D They can also be purchased here. Personally I am going to make mine with the cereal box idea.

Prayer Garden by Anita Gooddesign

Hey all. I know I keep saying I'm going to blog more, but I keep getting busy with other things. I purchased an embroidery machine last November and I have been working on a project that is taking a lot more time than I expected. Probably because I've been making two at a time. One for me and one for an un-named recipient. I'm getting closer to finishing the blocks. I have to say I love this pattern. If you have an embroidery machine I would definately recommend it.
