Farm Fresh Sew Along - Week Six!!

 

Hello again farm friends!!

Today is week six 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!

We are using the 

Farm Girl Vintage 2 Book    

for all of the blocks and 

of course the sew along guide as well:)

 

Let's get sewing!! 

HAND MIXER!

Trim-It Rulers that I used:

1 1/2" - 1 3/4" - 2"  

 2 3/4" - 3" - 5 1/2" - 6 1/2"

 1 1/2" x 6 1/2" pink ruler.

I used two strands of floss and a 

backstitch for the cord and plug ends:)

HAPPY FLOWERS

Trim-It Rulers that I used:

 1 3/4" - 3 1/2" 

  and 6 1/2"

and 12 1/2"

 1 1/2" x 6 1/2" pink ruler.

I'm saving the buttons until after quilting!

I may use buttons for his eyes too:)

Keep in mind when tracing on the line 

for the bucket handle to allow for the 

1/4" seam allowance on the left side:)

HONEY BEE

Trim-It Rulers that I used:

1 1/2"- 2 1/2" - 3 1/2" - 6 1/2"

having fun with them too:)

I decided that my farm journal 

needs denim pockets!

I decorated it and then filled it up...

 with a tag and a journal card and a pig!

All of the details are so fun:)

I made a cow tag too:)

It's large and has plenty of 

journaling space on the back 

for at least one or two memories

 of our milk cows on the farm:)

I clipped it onto this page with 

another hidden paper clip that I

 made with vintage milk caps.

Other side.

I'll tuck something under it too:)

I also made a few flip out pockets...

And I was able to get some time to

 get one glued to one of the pages

 and decorate this tag to go inside.

The tag base I already had ready 

from a few mass making sessions 

a while back, so it was easy 

to grab it and decorate!

I'll choose a spot and glue these in

for next week:)

I'll also decorate the pockets too

but after they are filled with tags

or journaling cards.

Sometimes I like to save those 

finishing touches until last:)

This is how my tag turned out...

more baby chicks!

I added lace and flowers with 

vintage snaps for the centers. 

The back has journaling space

 and I made the "FLIP OUT" with washi tape.

Now I can decorate the page underneath 

it or write memories on it as well:)

I added a fabric strip to the top

 for the final touch.

PEEP! 

They look cute tucked into that pocket:)
