Farm Fresh Sew Along - Week Ten!!

 

Hello again farm friends!!

Today is week ten of the

FARM FRESH SEW ALONG

YeeHaw!

We are making the 

FARM FRESH Quilt 

which finishes at

 88" x 95"

It consists of 50 pieced 

Farm Girl Blocks

from two of my books...

Farm Girl Vintage

and

Farm Girl Vintage 2

 There is a mix of both

 6" and 12" blocks in our quilt:)

I'm so excited to be 

sewing from these books again...

it's been a wonderful trip down

memory lane for me  

and I want to thank you 

for coming along with me:)

We are making our quilt with 

my latest fabric collection...

FARMER'S DAUGHTER

***This sew along works

 a little bit differently than my

 other sew alongs because...

 The patterns along with

 step by step instructions

are in the books, so I will be sewing

each and every one of the blocks 

right along with you!

No need to sew ahead of time for me

as I usually do for tutorials.

For this sew along there is 

no need for block instruction

because everything is already in the book:)

This format also allows you the choice

to sew your entire quilt at once

or space it apart like the schedule!

 I did the week one video

on my YouTube channel to kick it off!

I made four flower tags this week 

and for the base of each 

I started with vintage paper that 

I distressed to look even older!

I picked flowers that I had already 

beeswaxed in different colors:)

I decided to decorate them all the same

and I'll spread them out amongst the

many signatures that I have made 

for my Farmers Daughter journal.

On the bottom I glued vintage lace...

(on this one it's vintage lace 

that's been hand crocheted)

On top of the lace I glued vintage paper

 that is tea dyed, ruffled and sewn 

with a zig zag stitch:)

I love sewing on paper too!

I glued a vintage button onto

 the paper strips and added some 

cello tape for an even more vintage look

and a random number as well.

For the top I made tabs by

 punching a circle from paper

 and folding it on half and 

sewing around the edges.

I stapled them to the top with 

rusted staples and then added an eyelet

to hang a little bell:)

On the back of each tag I added a pocket

 made from a page of one of my 

vintage farm books and then folded 

a peice of old tea dyed graph paper 

for extra journaling space.

I love the way that they turned out!!

I also did alot of prep work 

for several journaling cards,

specifically photos.

I did not get a chance to finish them yet...

But I will be using my collaged pages 

and prepped tags that I've shown you before (that I made with leftover 

vintage book page scraps)

to cut up into the sizes

 that I need for each of these photos.

I have many more photos, 

these are just the ones that I have prepped.

I'll show you more next week!

Okay let me walk you through some things 

that I made for my journal this week:) 

I'm now working in the second 

signature since my first one is full!

If you remember I showed you in my 

video for week one that 

I have made five signatures.

I added another sweet beeswaxed flower,

And I added a bottom tuck with this 

sweet kitty and a top tuck with one of 

the butterflies that I showed you last week.

I tucked two journaling cards between them:)

Here you can see both tucks clearly 

without the journaling cards.

Here's the other butterfly I showed you 

last week but I wanted to show you 

that I added antennae to them by punching 

a small hole and adding thin hemp cord. 

I find it an easy way to "put back" 

the antennae after having to cut them 

off when cutting out butterflies:) 

I made another journaling card from 

this print of a vintage 

"Dogs and Cats" book inside page.

I decided this week that after making a 

dog and cat "paper doll" that I wanted to 

make more cards and tags with them

 because besides the farm animals, 

they were such an important part of 

my childhood growing up on the farm

and I want to write down my memories

 about my beloved childhood pets:)

I made one more kitty paper doll too:)

We had a cat named Whiskers!

Here are the dog journaling cards 

and tags that I made this week.

Once again, 

I found a lot of these printables

 on Graphics Fairy Website.

I added a dog tag to this paper doll 

that I made last week.

"P" is for Pepper, 

one of the sheep dogs that we had!

I found a printable for an Irish Setter 

because we had one named Butch.

He was my loyal companion, 

I told him all of my secrets out on the 

back porch as he laid his head 

in my lap and I brushed him.

I still tear up when I think of him,

 he was my favorite.

I found this fun image of a vintage ad,

 for what I'm not sure but I thought it

 would be fun to include in my journal.

I strung and added seven vintage

 buttons across the top.

Another vintage ad:)

I couldn't resist making this 

sweet little puppy into a tag:)

We had so many dogs on the farm, 

mostly sheep dogs to help out with the herd.

I love this image.

I added a fabric tab and 

vintage buttons again,

 I love to use them often.

I used my Chunky Thread Yarn 

in Raindrop for the buttons.

I also made this fun little journaling 

notebook in a checkbook kind of style.

I like to add little notebooks into

 my journals for writing memories 

that need more space than the back 

of a tag or a card. 

Here is the front inside cover.

 I've added a stamp and some of my 

washi tape from my Prairie Fabric Collection.

Inside back cover view.

Can you tell what I used 

to make the notebook paper?

Coffee filters!!

I flatten them out, 

cut them into squares and round the corners, then sew them into the center of the cover

with my sewing machine:)

I'll show you more next week!!
