Farm Girl Friday - Week 21!!!

Good morning and welcome to

 Farm Girl Friday!

Grab your book and turn to page 67

(get yourself a copy by clicking HERE)

There you will find the pattern and instructions

 for one of this weeks Farm Girl blocks...

"Tumbleweed"

This is a favorite and looks like it's turning...

which is why I named it tumbleweed.

I added the 4 easy corner triangles 

on the outside corners to 

give it the appearance of being round.

I used this block to make one of the 

large Harvest Table runners from the book.

I like the secondary pattern that forms

from the 4 easy corner triangles 

when you sew the blocks together...

super fun!

I know I say this all the time...

 but it really is perfect for a scrappy project:)

Did you know that sometimes I like to 

use my runners as wall decor as well?

I've always liked the way that 3 runners

 look together and you can

 hang them horizontally or vertically...depending on the room.

Wouldn't these 3 look great above a sofa?

This photo is from one of my Farm Girl Vintage retreats.

Can you sew the 3 small Harvest table runners too?

They're a great size for wallhangings as well.

The large runners are made from my Apronstrings block...

my Gingham block and of course my Tumbleweed block...

all from the book:)

Next up is my

"Sunny Sunflower"

on page 66.

This is another super versatile block.

You can sew that I used browns in the center

and golden yellow for the petals

so that it looks like a sunflower...

But when I used bright scrappy colors

they look like zinnias!

The pattern for my 

Sowing Seeds Table Topper 

is on page 122 of the book.

The Sowing Seeds topper is a Mix and Match Setting.

Here you can see two quilts I made with the Sowing Seeds

setting...one is of course with 

Sunny Sunflower blocks and the other

is my Butterchurn block which is on page 15.

When I started teaching my 

Farm Girl Vintage retreat/workshops

this year...I joined the Crops block from page 23 

onto the bottom of my Sunny Sunflowers...

Designed a new companion block for my students

to play with called Penny Pig...

Sewed up some of my Apronstrings block from the book...

And made this quilt using my 

Farmhouse Lane setting from the book.

You can purchase my

Penny Pig

Then we made giant

 Farm Girl Vintage Flowers 

at retreat using the 12" blocks from the book:)

Look at these cutie pie flowers

 made by my cutie pie students!

I love this photo:)

I designed even more companion blocks 

in both 6" and 12" sizes to go on top of my Crops block 

so that we could plant a 

Farm Girl Vintage Flower Garden!

These new flowers are also available
