Well howdy farm friends!!
Today is week seven 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
to watch my video
and please leave me a comment
on my channel after watching the video:)

Other Places to find me:
Okay about my journal this week:)
Remember the tags and junk mail
I've shown you before?
Well I covered several of them
with leftover strips of vintage papers.
I also did a collage on four big pieces
of paper so that I could cut them up
according to sizes of tags and
journaling cards that I nee as I go along.
I used larger pieces of leftovers
and plain vintage papers
on the backs for writing.
Remember these pockets that I
showed you last week?
I made a few things to fill the blue one:)
I used one of the collaged paper strips
cards that I did and made a bee tag!
It's so fun to add all of the details:)
I added the flip out pocket onto
one of the small pages in the journal:)
And added a honey jar too!
I love adding and layering scraps
of my fabrics to embellish.
I made a honey label into a journaling card:)
I add writing space on the back
of all tags/cards that I make:)
And speaking of adding fabric,
I used one of the leftover block segments
from making the OLD RED BARN block
this week and made a card!
I simply sewed paper
onto the back for writing...
And added a flower in the center
that I made from old book page,
a pice of lace, a pretty button
sewn on with Riley Red Chunky Thread Yarn.
I put this photo of a cute piglet
in a frame and clipped it onto the
back of this kraft paper envelope.
I added a belly band onto one of the
pages using a bit of burlap trim.
I'll decorate it later but for right now
I just made this fun tag to tuck inside.
I'm normally not a fan of
AI altered photos
but there are a few that I
just can't resist adding to my journal
and this is one of them.
I'm having alot of fun with these pages,
I'll show you more next week!
