Every couple of days I see a new quilt pattern I'd like to try, and that makes it so easy for me to fall behind on my blocks for Farm Girl Fridays. I was complaining to Bernie of Needle and Foot about how tedious it is to cut the background for these little blocks, and her response was "Keep going with that Farm Girl Vintage. I am loving it and quilting along with you vicariously. It is adorable." Bernie's blog is so fun to read, she makes the most gorgeous blocks, and she is even writing a quilt pattern. I love the inspiration and encouragement I get from other bloggers!
Out To Pasture
Pumpkin Patch
Peas and Carrots
Pie Cherries
Here are all the small blocks so far
Farm Girl Vintage is my first experience in sampler quilting. Each time I make a block I am amazed at how all the little pieces of fabric are sewn together to create a "picture". Lori Holt's instructions are so well written, and I am more and more impressed with her creative mind. Be sure and check her blog for lots of ideas! Also view other participants' blocks and variations on Instagram #farmgirlfridays.
Hope all of you have a restful weekend!
The cherries and the pumpkin are my favorites this week. So adorable. The combo with the four-patch is also really cute. Seeing them all together, it is just perfect. So, do you get to keep this quilt, or will it be gifted? I don't see how you would part with it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mention on your blog. That was so kind. Have a great weekend, Linda!
I am waiting to see how this quilt ends up - whether I use some of the blocks separately or together or in pillows. As to whether it will be gifted or kept - I'll know what to do when the time comes. :)
DeleteHello Linda! Your blocks are fabulous and you are completely putting me to shame.... I have so many to catch up with..... this coming week I will be sewing like crazy! I wonder how many blocks I can make!! Have a lovely weekend! Christine x
ReplyDeleteChristine, my blocks could never put yours to shame - lol! You've had a busy life at your house, so you have a good excuse. Maybe you'll get to relax a little this weekend. :)
DeleteWow what a lot of work you have done already. Its looking absolutely fabulous, Keep going because I want to see it finished with all those bright colours.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the encouragement Dawn! I kind of want to see how it turns out too. :)
DeleteThanks, Linda, for your kind comments about our garden. I love the raised beds, mainly because I can't stand crawling around on my poor knees! Glad I saw your blog: Bought the Farm Girl book earlier this summer and chomping at the bit to get started. Your post was an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteBridget thanks for visiting - I love your blog. Glad I could inspire someone - lol!
