The Farmer’s Wife quilt uses a large number of templates and I’ve been hard at work carefully tracing and cutting. Most of them are used many times but for 111 blocks you still need a ginormous stack of templates. I’ve made a pretty good dent and it won’t be much longer before they are all done.

I’ve wanted to learn how to pin my quilts on a table for some time now. The kitchen table is a nice size but I wasn’t having luck finding a protective cover the right size to prevent pins from scratching the wood. I also have one of those Rubbermaid tables with the folding legs but had a hard time finding clamps large enough to fasten the quilt to it. It took a few hardware stores but I finally collected enough large clamps for the job and gave it a go with my Stash Party BOM from last year. It went really well and I think this technique will be easier on my back and knees and with a little practice I should start to get better results than pinning on the carpeted floor as I had been doing.
