I am sew excited because
it's time that I can finally
announce what all of the
"secret sewing"
that has been going on is all about!
Introducing my next book
If you want to see all of the
quilts and projects inside my new book
It's a perfect companion to
my first
When I did this first book
I had so much fun with it
and I knew right then and there
that I would eventually do
another one when the timing was right.
One of the things that I wanted to do
for it was to design a fabric
collection specifically for the book
and so now you know another reason
for my current fabric collection
Farm Girl Vintage
I made sure that there is
a wide variety of prints...
In many of my happy vintage colors...
That reminded me of fabrics
my grandma and her sisters
made their quilts from.
I love this collection and I can
tell you that I have used it for
literally every project in the book...
And I've used my
Bee Backgrounds
prints throughout as well.
A little info about the book...
will be spiral bound
just like my other books.
It has over 200 pages and
will be released in September.
There are 45 Farm Girl Blocks
in the book along with several
other projects and new
Mix and Match settings
for you to play with!
The blocks also come in two sizes...
6" and 12" and can be used
with all of my other books
with the same size blocks:)
There are 50 blocks in the cover quilt
and because there are 45 in the book
I doubled up on five of them.
I did that for this simple reason...
I am hoping for the sew along
that you will choose 5 blocks
from my first book
to pop into those 5 spots!
YES!!
I said sew along:)
There will be an epic sew along
and we will be bringing back
YeeHaw!!
You can pre-order your copy
from the publishers if
you would like by clicking
Okay...
with all that being said
I know today is Thursday and
I have no vintage block for you:(
The photography for the book
is taking place here in my home
just like all or my other books...
and that will be in a few weeks.
As you can imagine...
I am super duper busy still sewing
and getting everything ready for
Kimberly and the girls to get here
so I will have to skip a few
Vintage Block Along
posts until photography is over.
I pinky promise that the
will resume immediately afterwards!
Thanks so much in advance
for your understanding ...
I appreciate all of your kindness
and support that you always give to me
and my designing schedule!
In the meantime I will
keep in touch with you via
and let you know everything that is
going on here and show you pictures
of the photo shoot as well!
Chat with you later...

WOWWEEE! Love it!! Your wonderful creativity knows no bounds!!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Oh this is so exciting - congratulations Lori! I absolutely adore Farm Girl Vintage (and Spelling Bee) and use it all the time. I especially love how you can mix and match blocks and the different size options. I would love to join in the sewalong, so crossing fingers that the book will be available in the UK in time. Roll on September :-)
OMG! AWESOME NEWS! So glad to have another fun filled Farm Girl Vintage! Will there be any of your templates for applique for this book?
Sounds wonderful, Lori! My, you must have a whole hive in your bonnet! I still don't know how you get everything accomplished! I will miss the Vintage Block each week, but hopefully, you will be able to get a break in between all the activity! Congratulations on another beautiful book! Looking forward! Blessings.
I preordered and can't wait. I love your other books. Your blocks always make me smile!!
Ordered my book! I'm excited about farmgirl fridays as my quilt blocks have been neglected for months!!
Yee Haw indeed! Super excited for you and the release of the new book can't wait. Please tell your suppliers to order extra material, some of us have a terrible time finding your precuts. (By some of us I mean this girl.)
Can not wait to see what you have in store for us with a sew along. As for the Vintage Sew Along, glad to hear you are taking a few weeks, I need to get caught up. Congrats again.
I’m so excited for you Lori! I really don’t know how you do all that you do. I was just beginning my quilty adventure when Farm Girl Vintage came out and that book taught me SO much! Looking forward to the next session of FG Fridays😊
YOUR first FARM GIRL VINTAGE was MY first quilt I ever made! Now I will make your second one! I LOVE YOUR FABRICS AND DESIGNS!
SEPTEMBER!! You’re killing me Small’s!
There is a cat in there! I love it! Got to have it, too bad my birthday is in July, hahaha. Maybe for christmas.
I am making my son a tractor Quilt from your first farmgirl vintage book, and he loves it, and can't wait for me to finish.
