Farm Girl Vintage 2 Sew Along with the Fat Quarter Shop

Have you heard the news that the Fat Quarter 

Shop is having a Farm Girl Vintage 2 

Quilt Along?

When I first started quilting, I came across

a blogger by the name of Lori Holt.

Her blog is called Bee in My Bonnet.

She was having a Barn Block Sew Along.

I absolutely loved the blocks, but

had nowhere near the confidence to 

even attempt to do any of the blocks.

Well, fast forward a few years, and she 

has several books out.  One of 

which is Farm Girl Vintage 2. 

If you are new to quilting or you have

been doing it for years, I would totally recommend 

this book.  It has excellent instructions and

pictures to help you through each step.

I have enjoyed each and every block 

and can't wait to complete the whole quilt.

If you would like to join along, 

you can find all of the details 

about the Quilt Along HERE.

Show Your WIngs Blog Hop - American Style

It is been awhile since I 

was able to join a fun blog, 

and the Show Your Wings hop

 seemed like the 

perfect time to do so.

I have a few blocks lying

around that needed to make themselves

into a quilt.

My Uncle Sam nutcracker

has been wanting a home

since the last blog hop 

I was able to participate in.

But he doesn't have wings.

I did decide a few months after him 

to make an eagle applique.

 

He definitely fit the bill 

of having wings

and this hop was about showing 

off your wings.

So, I added them together.

Well, that was at 4 pm on February 20th.

I knew I want to do a bit more to it.

After deciding, I went ahead

and added a friend  to 

keep Mr. Uncle Sam company.

Lady Liberty!! 

Let's just say I stayed up

WAYYY past my bedtime

to add a few more blocks and 

a border.

I don't think the light of a

candle does much 

for a quilt picture, so in 

the next few hours I 

will take another photo of it.

For now I am 

blowing out the candle and headed 

for bed.

I hope you enjoyed stopping in.
