Christmas Present

We had our Christmas with the kids while we were in Louisville.  Look what they bought me!!  Yey! I have been wanting this book.  The book is based on the results of "The Famer's Wife" magazine contest of 1922.  Inside are the letters from farm wives who answered the question, which was basically "would you want your daughter to marry a farmer", and they are so heartwarming.  Each letter has two quilt blocks to go with it.  I plan to get started on these blocks to make us a big quilt from all my civil war scraps.
