Very Kerry Berry has covered six Farmer’s Wife 1930s blocks since we last met –
three of which I have blogged about previously but three of which are new. Let’s take it in numerical order:
Block 47 – Joy. This is a lovely block and one which I
covered in January.
Notes in my book read ‘okay to paper-piece – pretty block’.

Block 48 – Judy. This is one of the new blocks which I have
only just made. It is the same as block
29 Doris but with a different center. I
patched the center and corner squares but paper-pieced the sharp triangle
patches. She reminds me of Judy Garland - it is the orange polka dot.

Block 49 – Katherine. I patched this block way back in October 2015. It is not one of my favourites – I
guess I prefer a symmetrical approach.

Block 50 - Lady. This is another ‘new’ block to the blog but
one which I made back in November last year.
Notes read “a simple paper-pieced block with endless possibilities
depending on fabric. You could even
patch the centre.”

Block 51 – Lily. This is a block that I blogged about in January. Notes in
my book read ‘nothing with this block went together easily. It is a very pretty block but not one I want
to make again!”.

and
finally ..... Block 52 – Lola. I patched this block using the paper
templates. “Pretty in Gooseberry fabrics”.
