Farm Fresh Sew Along - Week Five!!

 

Hello again farm friends!!

Today is week five of the

FARM FRESH SEW ALONG

YeeHaw!

We are 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 is 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  

and I want to thank you 

for coming along with me:)

We are making our quilt with 

my latest fabric collection...

FARMER'S DAUGHTER

***This sew along works

 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!

 I did the week one video

on my YouTube channel to kick it off!

I spent some time this week

 "mass making" these tags for my journal.

All of them have writing space on the back...

And all of them came from the same 

Etsy shop called Girl One Art

and the digital kit is called 

"Whimsical Farm Ephemera Pack"

I used pages from a vintage farm book

 that I have and made them all the same

and at the same time and it was really fun!

There are many more prints from 

this same artist and I'll be making

 more things with them besides these tags. 

Of course I will show you!

These apple prints are one of them 

and I decorated one of the pages

 in my journal like this:)

On the opposite page is another of the 

triple pockets that I made from the

 vintage Sears Catalog.

 

I showed it to you in my video

 but I had not made any journaling cards

 to go inside yet but now I did!

I used three botanical fruit printable

 and made them all the same size 

to fit inside the pockets:)

I added two pockets on this left page...

And also decorated the right page

 with another beeswaxed flower

and a label and vintage book page

at the bottom!

I made and added two horse cards

to add to the pockets.

I'll probably end up 

decorating the pockets too:)

I stapled two pieces of fabric 

to the top of each card for a tab.

I don't know if you have noticed 

but I do like to machine sew stitches

 around a lot of things in my journals.

I think it adds a fun texture and 

also helps to tie the two elements of

 fabric and paper.
