Good morning Farm Girl peeps!
It's Week 22 in our
We are almost finished sewing
all 45 Farm Girl blocks
in the 6" Sampler on the cover
of my book
but I promised you in
the beginning that I would be
throwing in several
new blocks along the way:)
And this week I'm happy to
announce that
the PDF pattern is ready for my
Corn and Tomatoes 2!
Of course there are detailed
instructions and also cutting
for 6" and 12" block sizes:)
if you want to harvest your own
Corn and Tomatoes 2!
I still have more Farm Girl Vintage
companion blocks that will be
released as PDF's
over the next 6 weeks
as soon as my
Farm Girl Vintage Workshops
are over.
I always design
new blocks for my students
to play that are top secret
until then...and I can't wait to
show you what they are!
But for now...
let's get to this weeks blocks:)
Turn to page 69...
And let's make
Water Turn
This is a super fun block to make...
Made up of simple
half square triangles
and flying geese:)
I made and designed this block way back
when we were in the middle of my
Quilty Barn Along:)
When it was finished...
It ended up in a red barn
with bicycles inside:)
It was not unusual to see
bikes in our barn while
we were growing up.
Now turn to page 70
of the book and let's do
Welcome
I named this block Welcome because...
I used it in my
Farmhouse Lane quilt
from the book...
and nothing says Welcome
like a farm house with
a nicely kept front yard...right?
I think they look like
colorful flowers
all in a row don't you?
You can find the pattern
and step by step instructions
for this quilt in the book:)
Thanks for playing
Farm Girl Friday with me today...
Don't forget to
for the schedule and visit
this weeks guest bloggers!
I also have another
fun announcement this week.
Bee in my Bonnet Design Boards
are now available
in ready made form!
I'm so excited about this:)
They are very handy when
making your Farm Girl blocks...
They come in two sizes
and 6 colors!
The 18" size are perfect
for the 12" blocks...
And the 10" size
are perfect for
the 6" blocks:)
As I've told you many times...
once you have used my design boards
you will wonder what
you ever did without them:)
These are some of the fun things that
has been doing with them this week:)
So if you never got around
to making your own...
or you want to add
to your collection...
(you can never have too many)
and go get you some!
Have a Farm Girl Vintage kind of day...
xx

Hi Lori! Beautiful blocks!! Will you be releasing printed patterns of you new blocks for purchase at local quilt shops or will they only be released at PDF? Thank you for all of the wonderful inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited! I finally purchased both your Farmgirl Vintage and Quilty Fun books yesterday! I have been drooling over them since the first time I seen them online. My local Joann's had both of them sitting next to each other like they were there just waiting for me! I now have to decide where to begin! I am new to quilting, so I am sure my quilts will not be perfect, but that is ok I will learn. The instructions in your books are very easy to understand. I am looking forward to making my first block this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI am so inspired by your quilts! I NEED your book so bad so that I can start on a quilt.
ReplyDeleteOh Lori, you are so inspiring. thank you for sharing your enthusiasm ♥️
ReplyDeleteI love the new blocks, thank you!!
ReplyDeleteLove your work! I am unclear though about your boards - what are they made of and how thick are they?
ReplyDeleteI have so enjoyed your Farm Girl Vintage - seeing the new blocks every Friday, following your oh-so-easy-clearly-written patterns, and all the other little side products. In addition I just downloaded the Corn & Tomatoes block. Any chance we could get a cow or cow head? (I shudder to think of piecing an udder!) Thanks so much, Lori, for making my quilt piecing an enjoyable process.
