Sow along

Hello quilt friends! Welcome!
      I just got done reading about the Farmer's Wife debacle. What a load of manure. Randy- The Barrister, is hosting a sow along based on traditional blocks. Originally, it was to be like the Farmer's Wife book (which I would have purchased but won't now). The author of the book emailed Randy and said Randy was to stop referring to the page numbers of the book. The author thought people would be less likely to buy the book, only people bought it because of the sow along. Now there is a boycott of the author's new book Pony Express quilt (or something like that). I fully agree that a boycott is the only solution to getting through to dim witted, short sighted authors.
     Randy is doing us all a service by giving directions for the quilt blocks which are missing in the book. The blocks are all in the public domain. It's just nice she is doing all the leg work for us. Although the sow along has already started, I plan on joining in and catching up.
     Bonnie Hunter is also partnering up and making the blocks. Bonnie is the reason I discovered the sow along and started this blog. I want to be a part of the quilting community online. As soon as I figure out how to add buttons I will.
     That's it for now....
