FUN

Making quilt squares for my Farm Girl Vintage quilt

is proving to be a lot of fun!

 

baby chick block

 

Each square is different

and like it's own small project.

Right up my alley!

 

churn dash block

 

I love the chicken squares.

Our granddaughters were here this weekend

 and helped me pick out a few of the fabrics.

Secretly...

 I'm hoping one or both of them will sew with me someday.

 

 

Most of our time was spent at the pool and park.

gingham

Is there anything that screams vintage

 more than gingham fabric?

 

 

Two new squares for my Farm Girl Vintage quilt.

Have you seen the cleaning schedules people have been posting online?

 

 

Clean a room in 15-20 minutes?

Not the way I clean!

 

 

I found these on Pinterest...

 

 

Some days I could use a little inspiration.

Farm Girl

When I bought Lori Holt's "Farm Girl Vintage" book

it wasn't with the intention to make a quilt.

 

 

The patterns are super cute and I thought I could use them

 on smaller projects

like hot pad holders, pillows and table runners.

 

 

When I put together a couple of squares

I knew I was hooked and would be doing a quilt.

 

 

It is a great scrap project.

 

 

I'm obsessed

and I just can't seem to walk away from it!

--------------------

Look who's on her way to the local

 farmer's market...Delainee and her bear.

I bet they will be looking for honey.

 

 

 Her mama will be selling Dakota Kids

 bibs and burp cloths there this morning.

create

Mr. b and I braved the heat Saturday

 and went to the Brookings Art Festival.

 

I love looking at all the arts and crafts.

For me it's usually about the process...

 

 

These ladies were spinning wool.

I would love to learn this.

Mr. b says no sheep!

 

 

Who has patience to do beading?

NOT me.

 

 

These pirates were having fun with a group of kids.

"Give me your gold!"

 

 

There is always a section of antiques at this art festival.

I've seen a few of these cream cans in my day.

Dad worked in a creamery.

 

 

 

What is it about the food at festivals?

Mmmm mmm!

 

There is nothing like an art festival

 to get your creative juices flowing!

Our fairy garden is blooming...

 for the fairies to dance."

A breeze

I finished this little romper set

 for granddaughter Delainee today.

 

 

It was a breeze to sew up.

The Butterick pattern included a sun hat.

 

 

You can bet I'll be looking

 for more material to make this hat pattern.
