The Farmer’s Wife 1930s Sampler Quilt: Inspiring Letters from Farm Women of the Great Depression and 99 Quilt Blocks That Honor Them

Featuring real-life letters from The Farmer’s Wife magazine, Laurie Aaron Hird’s new book commemorates the strength and hope of the farm women of the Great Depression. The 99-block queen-size sampler quilt inspired by these letters uses reproduction 1930s fabrics. For each block, instructions are provided for template piecing, and–where applicable–rotary cutting, so readers can piece the blocks based on their preferred technique.
