DO NOT ORDER FROM HALF PRICE BOOKS ONLINE! ABSOLUTE GARBAGE SELLER. The item DID NOT ship from Dallas as advertised. They utilized DHL, the worst shipping company on Earth, who sat on it for FIVE DAYS before sending it along and then ANOTHER FOUR DAYS before tendering it to the post office for delivery. Finally, NOTHING THEY ADVERTISED ARRIVED. One book not four. No maps. No hex grid. The book WAS NOT in very good condition. Use Thriftbooks instead for your online needs. HPB Online SUCKS

    The Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt

    This book is a fun quilt project. The story that is included is wonderful to read.

    not what I expected!

    I bought this, cause I seen the blocks and thought it would be a great quilt to make. the patterns for the blocks are terrible. The full pattern for each block is not complete and does not give very good instructions. I like the stories in the book, and I like the blocks, but I don't see making this quilt. If I had know that the book was this bad on instructions, I would not have bought it.

    If you like working with Civil War reproductions, this is for you.

    Stories are very interesting - you can put yourself in the timeframe and feel like you are living it. Availability of templates needed to make the quilt is a plus.

    Great stories and challenging quilt blocks!

    This is a great book. But it is not only about quilts, it is the stories written by the Farmer's wives that makes the book so worth buying. While the patterns are included, the 6 inch blocks are not for a beginning quiltmaker. I have made quilts for the last 20 years and I find quite a few of the blocks very challenging. Still, between the challenge of making all the blocks in the quilt and the stories of the wives, it is well worth the price.

    Excellent book, for Quilting, and/or Reading.

    Complete quilting book with everything you would expect, but very good reading with all the letters from the farmers' wives. It's easy to get engrossed in the letters and forget why you opened the book. But just look at the quilt: It's wonderful, and by the way, the author sewed each block by hand. A 5-Star book for sure.
