Farm Girl Vintage 2 Quilt Along - Farm Girl Friday's - Week Two!

Welcome to my blog...

are you ready to sew?

YeeHaw!!

It's Farm Girl Friday's!!

Okay!

Plug in your iron...

change your rotary blade...

turn on your fave tunes and

Grab your book

Farm Girl Vintage 2

Grab your Farm Girl Vintage fabric...

And let's make two more 

Farm Girl Blocks!!

The first Farm Girl Block up

 for this week is the 

BARN CAT BLOCK

found on page 17 of the book:)

I had to style this photo 

with my Chunky Thread 

because as we all know...

cats and yarn just go together!!

I used my Aurifloss to embroider the face...

And I thought that you

might want to see a close up.

If you don't like to do french knots...

 it could be really cute to add 

tiny Cute Little Buttons for the eyes...

or you could also do a 

cross stitch for the eyes as well.

Another thought that I have for this block

 is to make it into a quilt label.

If you need a fast and fabulous quilt

 for a cat lover...

whip up one of my Farm Girl Gingham Quilts from page 166 ...

and then make a Barn Cat Block (or two)

 for the label and make it in the colors

 of their favorite cat...(or cats!)

Of course you will need to personalize it even more by adding their cat names as well.

That would really be fun:)

Stacks and stacks of Farm Girl ideas!

The next Farm Girl Block

 for this week is the

BRIGHT ZINNIA

found on page 22 in the book. 

I really love this block.

I love flower blocks and I've 

used them often throughout the book.

After all...

every farm has flowers whether they

 are nicely planted in rows 

in front of the farm house or

 growing wild out in the pasture:)

One of the quilts that the

 Bright Zinnia block is in 

is the Beekeepers Garden Quilt 

along with all of the other flower blocks.

I'll be showing more of this quilt

 in next week's post when we do the 

Busy Beehive Hive Block:)

Even one little 6" Bright Zinnia

 all by itself would make an adorable

 mini quilt or a pot holder 

for your farmhouse kitchen:)

I have another project going with

 cute little 6" Bright Zinnia Blocks and here are 3 of them...

they are so fun and addicting to make!

There are endless possibilities

 with all of the colors and prints 

in my Farm Girl Vintage fabric...

I love this collection so much and 

I hope you are having fun with it too!

Remember that 

"you are the boss of you're own quilt"

but if you want to make yours

 just like mine then don't forget to
