I like to stalk the blog Maybe Matilda. (I also want to get my hair all chopped again - like hers - when I have the time to get it trimmed every month, because seriously, the short hair requires CONSTANT upkeep!). Anyway, she has cute stuff.
She is having a Crochet Along and I haven't crocheted in forever so I thought I'd join. I made the timeout cowl the next day. It goes up very quickly and I love the tealishy-green color of it! I twisted it into an infinity scarf. All of the info is at her blog (along with a TON of other cute things) so go check it out!
I thought about sending it to my daughter who lives where it gets cold to use but my youngest son wears it as a turban-star-wars-weapon-holder, a splint for a faux broken arm, and as a restraint-like burrito wrap and so maybe I'll just keep it.

MY FARMER'S WIFE QUILT BLOCKS SO FAR
Well, I don't think I'm going to be a wife. I'm definitely counted as a mistress, though!
Here's what I have in numerical order:
FWQA block #1 Attic Windows
FWQA block #2 Autumn Tints
FWQA block #4 Basket Weave
FWQA block #5 Bat Wing
FWQA block #6 Big Dipper
FWQA block #7 Birds in the Air
FWQA block #8 Bouquet
FWQA block #9 Box
FWQA block #10 Bowtie
FWQA block #11 Broken Dishes
FWQA Block #13 Buckwheat
FWQA block #14 Butterfly at the Crossroads
FWQA block #15 - Buzzard's Roost. This is a redo. My first one was an EPIC FAIL:
Told you! Yuck!
FWQA block #16 Calico Puzzle
FWQA block #17 Cats and Mice EPIC FAIL - Clearly. I spent about 17 hours and 4 days on this sucker. I hate it too much to just destroy it. I want it to suffer.
FWQA block #18 Century of Progress
FWQA block #19 Checkerboard
FWQA block #20 Churn Dash
FWQA block #21 Contrary Wife
FWQA block # 23 Country Farm
FWQA block #25 Cups and Saucers EPIC FAIL. Two days and a bottle of Tums later. I need to remake this one for sure!
FWQA block #28 Duck and Ducklings
FWQA block #29 Economy. I was so economic that I made two. Duh!
FWQA block #29 Economy
FWQA block #30 End of Day
FWQA block #31 Evening Star
FWQA block # 33 Farmer's Puzzle
FWQA block #34 Flock
FWQA block #39 Friendship
FWQA block #40 Friendship Block
FWQA block #44 Gentleman's Fancy - and I completely fancied making this one. It just sewed up all perfect the first time. Took less than 20 minutes.
FWQA block #46 Hill and Valley
FWQA block #47 Homemaker - grief and I think it's ugly
FWQA block #49 Honeycomb
FWQA block #53 - Jackknife
FWQA block #54 Woodshed
FWQA block #54 Kitchen Woodbox
FWQA block #55 Linoleum
FWQA #56 Maple Leaf
FWQA block #58 Mother's Dream
FWQA #59 Night and Day
FWQA block # 60 Noon and Light
FWQA block #61 Northern Lights
FWQA block #63 Ozark Maple Leaf
FWQA block # 64 Peace and Plenty
FWQA block #66 Periwinkle
FWQA block #69 Practical Orchard
FWQA #71 Puss In the Corner
FWQA block #73 Rainbow Flowers (can you see the total screw up? I built a bridge and am over it.)
FWQA block #74 Ribbons
FWQA block #76 Sawtooth
FWQA block #77 Seasons
FWQA block #78 Shooting Star
FWQA block #80 Single Wedding Star
FWQA block #81 Snowball
FWQA block # 83 Spider Web
FWQA block #84 Spool
FWQA block #90 Storm Signal
FWQA block #97 Waste Not
FWQA block #103 Whirlwind
FWQA block #108 Windmill
FWQA block #109 Windows
Basically, if I didn't want to do the block, I skipped it. I won't do a block that has hand applique because I know I am TERRIBLE at that! Really, really, REALLY bad and I don't want to suffer or waste fabric.
I have about 62, I think. With a few repeats and a couple I need to remake. I think that will make a nice size lap quilt and I can be done with it.
