Hello again farm friends!!
Today is week ten 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:)

Other Places to find me:
I made four flower tags this week
and for the base of each
I started with vintage paper that
I distressed to look even older!
I picked flowers that I had already
beeswaxed in different colors:)
I decided to decorate them all the same
and I'll spread them out amongst the
many signatures that I have made
for my Farmers Daughter journal.
On the bottom I glued vintage lace...
(on this one it's vintage lace
that's been hand crocheted)
On top of the lace I glued vintage paper
that is tea dyed, ruffled and sewn
with a zig zag stitch:)
I love sewing on paper too!
I glued a vintage button onto
the paper strips and added some
cello tape for an even more vintage look
and a random number as well.
For the top I made tabs by
punching a circle from paper
and folding it on half and
sewing around the edges.
I stapled them to the top with
rusted staples and then added an eyelet
to hang a little bell:)
On the back of each tag I added a pocket
made from a page of one of my
vintage farm books and then folded
a peice of old tea dyed graph paper
for extra journaling space.
I love the way that they turned out!!
I also did alot of prep work
for several journaling cards,
specifically photos.
I did not get a chance to finish them yet...
But I will be using my collaged pages
and prepped tags that I've shown you before (that I made with leftover
vintage book page scraps)
to cut up into the sizes
that I need for each of these photos.
I have many more photos,
these are just the ones that I have prepped.
I'll show you more next week!
