Hello there Farm Girls!
Farm Girl Fridays: {a weekly sew along hosted by Lori & the Fat Quarter Shop} connecting with friends, choosing new fabrics, learning how to make some blocks that maybe we’ve never made before, sharing our projects, inspiring each other, and adding some cuteness to our homes farm girl style. #farmgirlfridays
Some of us stayed on task ….. and some of us {cough cough} were all over the place with these blocks. Quilting ADD.
But in the end…. we all made cute blocks together through Lori’s & the Fat Quarter Shops blog posts, everyone sharing on Instagram & the guest bloggers posts too.

If you are new here and didn’t participate in the sew along….. it’s never to late to start.
Just pull some of your favorite fabrics, open your book, put a new blade in your rotary cutter, pick one of your favorite blocks and start creating.
There are so many projects to choose from ……
and there’s also a bunch of bonus projects like this Scrappy Happy Hearts Mini Quilt tutorial that Lori shared on her blog Bee in My Bonnet.
Sewing along with Lori and all of you over the past year has been such a fun experience and I can’t wait to see more of your projects.
Happy sewing friends! There’s still alot more Farm Girl Vintage sewing to do so I better get back to my sewing machine. Toodles!
Oh, hello there … I’m so glad you stopped by!
Start by choosing some of your favorite fabrics …… and letting your imagination run wild. #becreative
You can use different fabric combinations with the Sunny Sunflower block for a different look everytime. Fun right?
INSPIRATION IDEA #1: Not only can you use a variety of fabrics to change the look of each block….. you can also pick out 3 more of your favorite farm girl vintage blocks and make a mini quilt like Jedicraftgirl and I did during our quilt retreat in August.
Sewing with friends is priceless and creating this farm girl mini to remember our time together is the icing on the cupcake.
INSPIRATION IDEA #2: With a new stack of fabrics, I made two of the 12″ blocks with a 1 ½” sashing in between …..for a small 
They really make sweetest homemade gifts!
If you haven’t picked up your copy of Lori Holt’s Farm Girl Vintage book yet ….. no worries, it’s never too late to start sewing and this book is packed with lots of cute projects to choose from.
At the end of the sew along I plan to have my kitchen over hang filled with quilty farm girl blocks. How’s that for a nice homemade touch? When LIFE hands you SCRAPS and a Farmgirl Vintage Book by Lori Holt…..you make quilts!!!!
