A couple years ago I started doing the 1930s version of the Farmer’s Wife quilt using the English Paper Piecing technique, EPP. I joined the Facebook group for the sew along. Only a few of us were doing the project with EPP. I was doing great, but I got distracted by my work with the Glorious Hexagons project, and my FW quilt officially became a UFO.

Starting August 24th Gnome Angel is once again doing a Farmer’s Wife sew along. This time she is doing it using the original 1920s book and she is doing it using the EPP method. I’m wrapping up my first Glorious Hexagons quilt, and want to stay the course, but how could I resist this new adventure?

To clinch the deal I realized that it was exactly a year to the day on August 24th when I posted my last blog post. This was a sign. It also seemed like a good opportunity to document a new journey. I had gotten distracted by cataract surgery last year, and by the time I felt ready to blog again catching up with GH progress seemed like an impossible task.

So here is hoping that I can get back into the blogging swing.
