Red Sampler Quilt Along - Week Eight!!

Happy Monday and 

Welcome back to my blog:)

It's week eight in the 

Red Sampler Quilt Along

If you are just joining us...

 CLICK on the bold words 

above for my first

 blog post where I 

tell you all about it!

This week I have 3 new blocks for you:)

One 12" and two 6"

 I used two of my books...

  Farm Girl Vintage and

Vintage Christmas

The 12" Block is called 

Winter Star and it's on page 71 

of my book Farm Girl Vintage

12" WINTER STAR

Also from Farm Girl Vintage 

is the 6" Corn and Tomatoes Block

and you will find it on page 21.

Okay... 

I had a fun little idea 

to make this 6" Heart Block 

from the Vintage Christmas Book.

So...what I did was cut the heart

 from the 12" Mitten Block

and sew it up.

Now I have a 6" Heart Block:)

Cute!

The Mitten Block is on page 61

I hope you have fun 

choosing your fabrics 

and sewing your 12" and 

6" blocks for this week.

I'm still really having a good time 

seeing all of your blocks on 

Instagram

*I'm leaving for vacation and will

 be away glamping for the 

next two Mondays... but no worries!!

 I have sewn blocks two weeks ahead 

and I will pre-post and schedule

 those weeks to be published 

on my blog each of those

 Monday morning's just like usual!

In the meantime feel free 

to visit me on my 

YouTube Channel

I'll be doing another 

Sew Your Stash Series 

Tutorial this Friday before I leave:)

I'm having so much fun 

sewing with you!

Thanks for joining me this week

 for more Red Sampler Blocks:)

Red Sampler Quilt Along - Week Seven!!

Hello there! 

Welcome back to my blog:)

It's week seven in the 

Red Sampler Quilt Along

If you are just joining us...

 CLICK on the bold words 

above for my first

 blog post where I 

tell you all about it!

As I told you last week...

I have three 6" blocks for you today!

I have 30 - 6" blocks and only

 20 - 12" blocks to make for my quilt

 so I thought that I would 

just do 6" blocks this week.

This week I worked 

from one of my books only...

all three blocks 

are from Farm Girl Vintage 2...

and here's why!

Okay... 

so remember that we have 

already made my 6" Starry Nights Block

 that you see on the 

right in my photo above?

Well then you also know 

that there is cutting for a

 12" block as well.

That 12" Block cutting 

consists of 4 - 6" blocks.

so...what I did was cut just one 

of the stars from the 12" block

cutting measurements

and sew it up.

Now I have a 6" block

 which consists of just one star:)

Cute!

Starry Nights is on page 126

Now that you've heard my explanation

and have seen the 

3 blocks for this week...

Are you starting to 

sense a theme going on here?

Yep!

I did the same thing 

for the other two 

6" blocks for this week.

We already made the 

6" Quilting Day Block

from page 112.

Again...

I used the 12" cutting measurements

from that Quilting Day Block 

 and only cut and sewed one 

 6" Churn Dash Block:)

 

And last week we made the 6" 

Cross Stitch Block from page 37....

which consists of four cross stitch's.

This week I made a 6" Cross Stitch Block...

and yes...you guessed it!

I used the 12" Block cutting 

and only cut one cross stitch.

It was really fun to make 

3 new 6" blocks that you 

might not otherwise have known

 were in the book:)

There are actually several blocks

 in my Farm Girl Vintage 2 book

 that we could do this with

 and I plan on doing more!

I hope that you will have fun

 sewing your three 6" Red Sampler Blocks

 for this week.

I'm still really having a good time 

seeing all of your blocks on 

Instagram

I'm leaving you 

with a few photos from 

Farm Girl Vintage 2 

photo shoot at my house.

We took this one of the sampler

displayed on my backyard deck:)

This is one of my favorites 

because it shows all of the 

Farm Girl Vintage 2 Blocks 

hanging on the clothesline!

This is the Beekeepers Garden...

And this is October Skies:)

Both are made using the same 

quilt setting as the sampler quilt

 in the book and it happens to be 

the same exact setting that I am using

 for my Red Sampler Quilt!

I want to show you this picture

 from the doll quilt section

 of the book because these are 

the doll quilts made with 

three of the blocks from this week

 (and the other blocks in the book)

 that have little 3" finished blocks

 when you use the 6" block cutting measurements:)

I show my doll quilts and 

talk about them more on one of my 

recent tutorials on my 

YouTube Channel

I'll be right back here next week

with more Red Sampler Blocks:)

Red Sampler Quilt Along - Week Six!

Hi there red sampler addicts and happy Monday!

Welcome to week six in the 

Red Sampler Quilt Along

If you are just joining us...

 CLICK on the bold words 

above for my first

 blog post where I 

tell you all about it!

I have another 12" block 

and two 6" blocks for you!

This week I worked 

from three of my books...

For the 12" Block I made my 

Butter Churn Block on page 15 

of my book Farm Girl Vintage.

I used a light, medium and a 

dark red for this block:)

12" Butter Churn Block

I made my 6" Cross Stitch Block 

from page 37

of my Farm Girl Vintage 2 Book.

Another easy to make block...

you simply need two red prints

 that have nice contrast from each other:)

6" Cross Stitch Block

I made my 6" City Sidewalks Block 

from page 23

of my Vintage Christmas Book

I thought it would be fun 

to add my penmanship print

 in the center square:)

6" City Sidewalks Block

I hope that you will have fun

 sewing your Red Sampler Blocks

 for this week too.

I'm really having a good time 

seeing all of your blocks on 

Instagram

You all have made gorgeous blocks!

That's it for today...

 so I'm leaving you 

with these two photos.

The first photo is from 

way back when I was sewing my 6" blocks 

for the sampler quilt in my

 first Farm Girl Vintage Book.

The second one above 

is from the photo shoot 

and it's one of my favorites:)

I'll be right back here next week

and this time I'll be showing you 

three 6" Red Sampler Blocks:)
