I also finished the Barn block. I've been wanting to make a farmhouse or barn quilt for a long time...this little block will have to do for now. My grandmother and her two surviving sisters have an 80-acre farm in Eastern Iowa that has been designated a "Century Farm," meaning it has been in the same family for over 100 years. About 12 years ago I was able to take a trip back and see this farm that my 3rd great-grandmother left to her grandchildren...it was just neat to stand on the ground that my ancestors made a life on.
Hope you get to sew today!

Loved your century farm story. Your stitcheries are lovely. The triangle borders frame them perfectly.
I really love the colors you chose for your Tisket blocks, they are so cheerful and I love your stitchery blocks, sometimes a little embroidery is a nice change!
Terrific blocks, how neat that you got to go back to the family farm.
