Bonnies' afternoon

It was the usual get together today where we gathered around the table to draw round templates and cut out our Farmers Wife blocks. We showed the ones we'd completed in the meantime.

Mavis's blocks are striking! I've made you a CW rosebud block and Judi will bring it home to you.

Hi- I found your posts the other day and have enjoyed reading about your quilting journey. I am getting ready to start my own FW blocks (wish I had a group to meet with like you have). Do you pre-wash your fabrics when you hand sew? I'm on the fence about it since I'll be using some new fat eights - but wondering if the fabric will behave better if the sizing is washed out.
