Welcome to week thirteen 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!
I have four additional
12" Red Sampler Blocks
for you today:)
First up is from my book
Farm Girl Vintage.
I made my 12"
Egg Basket Block on page 24.
Tumbleweed Block
also from my book
Farm Girl Vintage and
it's on page 67.
12" Tumbleweed Block
from page 41
of my Vintage Christmas Book
12" Holly and Ivy Block
is the 12" Sisters Quilt Block
from page 121
of my book Farm Girl Vintage 2.
I used another print from my STITCH
fabric collection for this block...
and I love it!!!
I hope you enjoy making the
four 12" Red Sampler Blocks
for this week:)
This is what we have so far...
18 - 12" Red Sampler Blocks
23 - 6" Red Sampler Blocks
And again...
for the setting that I'm using
(cover quilt from Farm Girl Vintage 2)
I need 20 - 12" Blocks
and
30 - 6" Blocks
That setting requires a background border
on each block and I showed you how
I add those borders
last Friday on my YouTube Channel.
to watch that video and also to
get a few sneak peeks of
some of the remaining blocks!
I'm happy that we have really
made good progress on the
12" blocks over the last few weeks:)
Of course I had to take a few pictures
of all 8 together on the
design wall of my sewing room:)
two more 12" blocks and one 6" block...
then we will only have six
of the 6" blocks left...
along with the label of course:)
Here's a few photos of
the large table runners
from my first Farm Girl Vintage Book.
I painted three vintage doors
and hung a runner on
each one for the photo shoot.
I chose these photos because of the
Tumbleweed Block from this week.
Here is the runner hanging on my wall
as I sew on one of my vintage machines:)
P.S. The chair is vintage too...
it was Mr. Honey's grandmas sewing chair.
She was a prolific quilter
and so my Mother-in-Law kindly gifted
me this chair several years ago
because she knew that
I would love it and the story behind it:)
Here's the runner on one of my
farm tables in my kitchen:)
It's made form my Gingham Block in the book.
For the centerpiece...
I painted 4 tin cans that once
held tomato sauce and decorated
them with burlap and lace.
Inside each one I placed a
vintage milk bottle holding a daisy:)
I made this runner from my
Apronstrings Block from the book.
Isn't it scrappy happy?
I just love it:)
The photos on my vintage dresser
are of my Grandma Crane...
my mom and her brother and sister
and my Grandparents Ewell
with my Aunt VaLene:)
Okie dokie!
I guess that's enough for this week...
I'll meet you right back here
next week with more Red Sampler fun:)

ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent way to play with contrasting values. I love that it's red. Black and white can be so strong. A medium-dark blue works well also.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be such a beautiful quilt.
ReplyDeleteI have my reds just waiting for the backgrounds to come back in stock at FQS.
