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

Yippee!

It's another episode of 

#FarmGirlFridays

We are using my latest book 

Farm Girl Vintage 2...

And using Farm Girl Vintage fabric...

And making two blocks each week...

Until all 45 blocks are completed:)

The first Farm Girl Block 

for this week is

 HAPPY HORSE 

on page 72 of the book.

He is just hanging out 

in his green pasture being happy

 because he has hay and grain 

and carrots to eat...

and a quilty blanket to

 keep him warm and stylish:)

He is obviously well taken care of.

He looks just like the horse

 that I used to ride on our farm...

his name was Tempest.

Of course I had to do 

something fun with him...

So I cut a 6" Happy Horse block...

And then cut and sewed a

 12" Grandpa's Truck Block

After sewing the horse I 

"shortened" his legs LOL

And gave him a ride!

Now I'm hauling a sheep and a horse:)

This is so fun!

If you missed my tutorial

The next Farm Girl Block is

 HONEY BEE 

on page 78 of the book.

Our honey bee likes to 

buzz around from flower to flower...

And buzz around the 

Busy Beehive's in the 

BEEKEEPERS GARDEN QUILT 

on page 136 of the book.

And honeybee likes to 

"Bee"on a pin pillow LOL

I made eight of the

 Farm Girl Pin Pillows 

for the book photo shoot.

The Pin Pillow instructions 

are on page 196 of the book.

The 6" Farm Girl Blocks

 are used for the Pin Pillows...

and you have so many to choose from!

All you need after making the block 

is grab a few coordinating prints 

and some of my Lg. Vintage Trim to match....

Just a few photos of when 

I was choosing the backing fabric 

when making a few Pin Pillows:)

When I made this one with the 

Cheerful Tulips Block 

I took photos of my process

 so that I could show them to you

 during our sew along!

Sew fun and and they really come in handy!

I love adding cute little accessories

 to my Farm Girl projects...

And I think it's fun to gather 

little props from around my home

 to add to each block photo.

It takes me back to playing "farm" 

with my little brothers:)

I made the carrots with orange linen

 and then used one of the green prints

 from my Farm Girl Vintage Companion 

fabrics to make the carrot tops.

I tied jute bows around them

 for extra cuteness:)

Last week I crocheted this cute 

little bottle/vase cover 

using my Chunky Thread.

The color of Chunky Thread 

that I used is LIPSTICK

I thought it went really cute

 with my Honeybee Block:)

Thanks for joining me this week

 for our sew along.

I hope you've enjoyed our chat

 about this week's blocks...

I'll meet you right back here

 next week with two more!
