Farm Fresh Sew Along - Week One!!

 

Welcome Quilty friends!!

Today is week one of the

FARM FRESH SEW ALONG

YaY!

We will be making the 

FARM FRESH Quilt 

which finishes at

 88" x 95"

It consists of 50 pieced 

Farm Girl Blocks

from two of my books...

Farm Girl Vintage

and

Farm Girl Vintage 2

 There will be a mix of both

 6" and 12" blocks in our quilt:)

I'm so excited to be 

sewing from these books again...

it's been a wonderful trip down

memory lane for me as I have been

 preparing for this sew along 

and I want to thank you 

for coming along with me:)

We will be making this quilt with 

my latest fabric collection...

FARMER'S DAUGHTER

***This sew along will work

 a little bit differently than my

 other sew alongs because...

 The patterns along with

 step by step instructions

are in the books, so I will be sewing

each and every one of the blocks 

right along with you!

No need to sew ahead of time for me

as I usually do for tutorials.

For this sew along there is 

no need for block instruction

because everything is already in the book:)

This format also allows you the choice

to sew your entire quilt at once

or space it apart like the schedule!

Of course I did the week one video

on my YouTube channel to kick it off!

CLICK HERE 

to watch my video

and please leave me a comment

on my channel after watching the video:)

Here are this weeks blocks

which of course you saw in the video!

All are 6" finished blocks and 

from the first book

FARM GIRL VINTAGE:

BABY CHICK

BAKING DAY

BUTTERCHURN

CANNING SEASON

COOL THREADS

I talked about several other things and...

Did a quick tutorial on the embroidery:)

 I also talked about cutting your fabrics 

and how to use the guide for this sew along.

I'm also going to be listening to

 this book aa I sew along with you...

Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm

And if I have time I'll also listen to

 The Egg and I 

And as I get time I'll be 

working/playing with my 

Farmer's Daughter Junk Journals 

that I briefly told you about in my video...

I've made the 5 signatures and have 

just started to

lay the foundation for all kinds of 

tuck spots and pockets for 

my journaling tags and cards.

I'll show you progress on the pages

here each week as promised

and I'm hoping to have some by next week!

Now it's time for me to get busy sewing,

listening and journaling about

all things farm!.

I'm sew happy!!

Thanks so much for joining me today

and I'll be right back here next week

to show you my five finished blocks 

from the Farm Girl Vintage 2 Book!

Until then...

have a Quilty kind of day:)
