Have a peek at the life of a farmer's visually impaired wife and learn a little about self-sufficiency and saving a few bucks in the process. Let's face it, the economy is challenging all of us to be frugal, so we need to help one another as much as we can.

Hand Tied Quilt Part 2
Image of my hands in front of a sewing machine holding a finished quilt square made with 3 strips of fabric sewn together. Color combinations are: #1 white background with small red flowers/designs, #2 solid red, #3 white background with prominent red flower designs
I DID IT - I DID IT - I DID IT!!! I finally put together my first quilt square! Only 120-something more to go...or something like that. I haven't actually counted how many I need. At the rate I'm going, I'm hoping I'll have it finished by the time next winter rolls around.
I have decided to cut all my fabric strips first because that seems to be the hardest part for me. I'm also positive I need to get more fabric since I want to make a queen size quilt. At least it should go a little faster now that I've decided to go with 9" squares rather than the smaller 6".
I'll post more updates in the future as I make progress.
