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

Hello again!

Welcome back for week fifteen in the 

Farm Girl Vintage 2 Quilt Along

#FarmGirlFridays

We are using my latest book

Farm Girl Vintage 2

And using Farm Girl Fabric

to make two of the 

45 Farm Girl Blocks each week:)

Our first Farm Girl Block for the week is 

MIXING IT UP 

on page 96 of the book.

I thought it would be cute to

 add some yummy cupcakes to the photo!

These are my favorite kind...

and with sprinkles too!!

I made a 6" Mixing it Up Block 

and added it to my small 

Mix and Match Kitchen Quilt.

And as you know I am currently making 

another kitchen quilt using 12" Blocks.

I added 2 more for that quilt 

to my design wall this week.

I made the CANNING SEASON BLOCK 

from my first 

Farm Girl Vintage Book

It's on page 17:)

I used several of my fabrics

 from a few different collections

 and I love how it turned out!

It was fun to fussy cut the fabric

 for the aqua jar. 

That print is one of my

 108" wide backs called Farm Life.

My mom and grandma's both canned 

and taught me how 

so I also do some canning every fall.

 I decided to add a block to represent

 the two fruits that I

 like to bottle each year...

PEARS and PEACHES! 

I made this block with a mash-up

 from the first book and my current one.

The pear is 1/2 of the 

FRESH PEARS BLOCK 

on page 32 of book one.

The peaches are 1/4 of the 

FALL HARVEST BLOCK 

on page 47 of Farm Girl Vintage 2.

I used a Bee Basics print for the pear

 and Autumn Love prints for the peaches:)

It was a fun block to make and easy peasy! 

I love how the 

yellow and corals look together:)

I have 12 blocks made so far

 for my kitchen quilt...

I just need 3 more for a total of 15.

I'm using the large Mix and Match 

setting from page 156 of the book.

I'm doing it how I did the one with

 MAMA'S APRON without any alternate

 Mix and Match Blocks.

I'll continue showing you 

my progress as I go along!

The four 6" blocks that are on the 

left side of my design wall 

are for my small sampler quilt.

I need 12 blocks for that one and 

my goal is to add a few more

 onto the wall for next weeks post!

Tune in next week to sew 

if I was actually able to pull it off:)

Our next Farm Girl Block is

 MR. SCARECROW

He is on page 99.

Also in the book on page 198...

I made the 12" size and framed it 

along with a 6" Rise and Shine Rooster

 and a 3" Quilting Day Block

I love him in the frame and so

 I'm keeping him in there 

instead of taking him out...

So I made another block for 

the photo for this weeks post!

I made him using my Autumn Love fabric.

I like to add a blush to his cheeks

 using my blush and a Q-Tip:)

He is sew sweet!!

I love Mr. Scarecrow so much!

I'm planning on making this block

 into a pillow this fall.

Speaking of fall decorating...

I bought this cute little

 metal wheelbarrow on Amazon...

And it originally looked like this and I wanted to add a little color to it.

After all...

I paint my real sized wheelbarrows 

all the time and plant flowers in them...

One of them I used for stacking quilts 

and put it on the back cover 

of my first

Farm Girl Vintage Book!

Of course my Farm Girl Paint comes in 

jars large enough for painting 

furniture pieces but did you know that 

it comes in small jars too?

Perfect for smaller projects!!!

This color that I used for the

 wheelbarrow is Kitchen Cupboard

It literally took 10 minutes...

I did a few coats and you can sew 

the last one is almost dry.

I just used a small wide flat brush 

and laid out a few layers of paper towels 

to protect my work surface.

Changing the colors of pieces whether

 they are small or large is a 

perfect way to personalize and 

freshen up your farmhouse cottage decor!!

I use my paint all the time 

for everyday and seasonal decor.

And continuing on the 

subject of fall decorating ...

don't forget about the 

OCTOBER SKIES QUILT in the book...

of course I added Mr. Scarecrow

 in there as well.

The setting is the same setting 

as the cover quilt and is on 

page 142 of the book.

Here is another full sized photo of my October Skies Quilt:)

I thought it would be fun to

 share another one of the photos 

from my first

 Farm Girl Vintage Book...

These are quilts hanging over 3 

of my vintage doors that I painted.

I had to mix the paint to

 match my decor back then...

but now these paint colors have

 become part of my

 Farm Girl Paint collection!

From left to right is...

 Kitchen Cupboard - Baby Chick - Pasture

I also switched out the quilts 

for the

 3 large table runners 

in the first book...

sew fun!!

Okay...

I think I've shown enough for this week

 LOL

Thanks for joining me 

and I'll meet you back here next week

 with two more Farm Girl Blocks:)
