Welcome to week twelve in the
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 promised last week...
I have four 12" Red Sampler Blocks
for you today:)
This week I worked
from three of my books...
And the first book that
I used is Vintage Christmas.
I made my 12"
Stained Glass Block on page 86.
when you look at the directions
you will see that I use my
easy shortcut method to make each of the
9 quarter square triangles
that make up the block.
Because we are sewing scrappy
you will end up with enough to make 2 blocks:)
Of course I just need one for my quilt
but the other block would make a
cute pillow or you could give the extra
to a friend who is also
doing this quilt along...
and that's exactly what I did!
when trimming up the
quarter square triangles...
easy peasy!
Mama's Applique Block
from page 85 of my book
Farm Girl Vintage 2
I used a few prints from my new fabric collection called STITCH
that will be here
in just a few short weeks!
12" Mama's Applique Block
from page 107
of my Vintage Christmas Book
12" Wool Star Block
but not least is the 12"
Cool Threads Block made from page 20
of my book Farm Girl Vintage.
I hope you enjoy making the
four 12" Red Sampler Blocks
for this week:)
and I had a great time
choosing the fabrics for each one:)
And so now with these new blocks
this is what we have so far...
14 - 12" Red Sampler Blocks
23 - 6" Red Sampler Blocks
As a reminder...
for the setting that I'm using
(cover quilt from Farm Girl Vintage 2)
I need 20 - 12" Blocks
and
30 - 6" Blocks
For the next week post
I'm going to be making
four more 12" Blocks:)
Farm Girl Tractor Quilt
from my Farm Girl Vintage Book.
The quilt is called PLOW DAY and
I'm thinking it's an appropriate photo
for this week while we
"PLOW" through making our
Red Sampler Blocks!
I'll meet you right back here
next week with more Red Sampler fun:)

Hi Lori! We just moved to a 1904 farmhouse and are surrounded by acres of winter wheat and growing corn. For the past week I’ve been watching farmers plow the fields of wheat. I loved your reference to “plowing through” as I am trying to set up my new sewing room. I can’t wait to get back to these red blocks! Thanks for the fun SAL and have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI think you are awesome,haven't made a full size quilt yet but have made smaller things like pot holders, surprised secret sister with them. Waiting for your new book to come out
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with all your books Lori! They are well used! Im a bit behind but do plan to catch up!
ReplyDeleteI try to guess from week to week which block your going to use.
