Howdy farm friends!!
Today is week eight 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

Let's sew!!
MAMA'S APRON
Trim-It Rulers that I used:
2 1/4" - 2 1/2" - 3 1/2"
4 1/2" - 5 - 5 1/2" - 6 1/2"
7 1/2" 8 1/2" 10 1/2" - 12 1/2"
Because of the vintage trim,
I did NOT press those seams open
that would have were towards the trim.
In other words,
I pressed away from the trim:)
MILK COW

1 1/2" - 2" - 2 1/2" - 3" - 3 1/2"
4" - 5" - 6 1/2" - 7 1/2" - 8 1/2"
and 12 1/2"
1 1/2" x 6 1/2" pink ruler.
I used 3 strands of floss and
a backstitch for her tail...
And french knots with 3 wraps for her eyes.
I'll add 2 Cute Little Buttons
on her muzzle after my quilting is done:)

Other Places to find me:
This week I added 2 things
to the inside front cover pocket.
One is this journaling card made from
an image of my Quilted Farm Girl Quilt:)
The other is this vintage tea dyed
graph paper for writing on both sides!
I added a looong tab for fun
and a beeswaxed Ball Jar.
This is the inside back cover pocket.
I added the same two types of items...
This one is from an image of my
Farm to Table Quilt Runner.
Another piece of vintage paper with an
extended tab and then a beeswaxed farm truck:)
I added another tag made from an image
of one of my quilts made with
my Farmers Daughter fabric collection...
it fit perfectly in this fold out pocket
that I made a few weeks ago.
On the other side I tucked in a pig!!!
Or a hog if you prefer lol
I made SEVERAL more farm animal
"paper dolls" to tuck in here and there
and for clipping to pages:)
Horse:)
A bunny on one side...
I clipped this sweet plate of strawberries
on the opposite page of my
Strawberry Patch Quilt Runner.
I clipped a laying hen onto this
short page from a vintage copy of
Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
One of my favorites!
I thought this was a
good spot for this sheep ...
opposite the tag about
"Shepherds Friend vintage ad"
Another of my Quilt patterns
designed with Farmers Daughter Fabrics:)
And another one again,
this one is Farmyard Friends:)
Some farm kitty's on
another page from Farmer Boy.
I made many more tags from my
Farmers Daughter Quilts
that I will eventually tuck in.
I have plenty of space
in the other signature's.
Remember I showed you in my video
that I made 5 and so I have
plenty of room to take things out,
add them and move things around
among the 5 signitures:)
I'm still having fun making
"paper doll" farm animals
along with fruits and veggies too.
I have made room to write
on the back of each...so fun!
I'll show you more next week:)
