Hello Quilty friends!!
Today is week four 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
to watch my video
and please leave me a comment
on my channel after watching the video:)
All are 6" finished blocks and
from the first book
Farm Girl Vintage
to read my week one blog post
Here are all five blocks for week two
to read that blog post:)
Here are all five blocks for week three

Other Places to find me:
I added a pocket here
underneath my beeswaxed utensils.
Yes I said beeswax!
I like to melt beeswax pellets
(using a little iron only for that use)
onto some of the images I print.
I love the way that it looks.
They become transparent,
the colors of the print really pop
and it adds a wonderful
texture to the page and looks very vintagey.
You can tell which ones that I have
"beeswaxed"
because you can sew thru them:)
I made this sweet strawberry
journal card and clipped it on
with a rusted paperclip.
I added some of my washi tape,
trim made with brown packaging paper
and a zig-zag stitch and then a word.
The base for the card is a little page
from a little vintage dictionary:)
Remember this flip out page with this tag
that I showed you in my video?
Well I got it decorated with bales of hay!
I added these beeswaxed
pretty flowers here:)
And then I covered the junk mail envelope
that I showed you last week
and made a tag to go inside,
choosing this rooster to show through
the window of the envelope.
I also tucked a canning jar
and a favorite sentiment
in the pocket as well.
Here's what the tag
looks like outside of the envelope.
I show you the back of my blocks
so it's only fitting that I
show you the back of my tags and cards!
On the opposite side on the
vintage quilting book page,
I added some beeswax potted flowers
and a hidden paperclip that
I made with vintage milk caps.
Here's the other side of that page
and the other side of the hidden paper clip!
I made this card to tuck underneath the clip.
Yes the cow is beeswaxed!
I added a punched circle from my paper,
a printable of a bottle of milk,
a flower that I made from book page,
old lace and a button,
and then at the bottom
I added some vintage lace trim.
Those are my additions for this week.
I'm having a lot of fun
and I'll show you more of my
Farmer's Daughter Junk Journal next week!
