Happy Friday Everyone!
No, I haven’t moved to a farm (not that I wouldn’t
mind) but I am back on track for completing the blocks from Lori Holt’s Farm
Girl Vintage book. Last year Dawn from sewyouquilt2
tried to revive this effort in me, and others, who had started the project but
for various reasons didn’t finish. And
once again we found other projects that excited us more or life just changed
directions.
Well, Dawn is trying again 😊
We will complete at least two blocks per month
until we finish…and we mean it this time! Right, Dawn?
These are May’s selections…
Scrappy Maple Leaf Block
Sunny Sunflower Block
This will only leave me with seven blocks to go.
In the beginning I wanted to do this project so
that I would use up some bits of scraps.
I’ve decided one reason I lost motivation was because I became overwhelmed
when selecting my bits. (I was trying too hard to match my scraps to the
fabrics Lori used.) So when the next
block was announced, I would dread going to the scrap supply to pull fabrics. Does
that make sense?
It is an adorable project and I really want to
finish these blocks, whether they go into a quilt, runners or something else. This close to the end I think I should just
pull all of the fabrics for the remaining blocks, when the mood hits me, then I’ll
be ready when it is time to sew them.
Can you offer any other suggestions?

I shared here
that my friend Kelly and I are sewing along with Pat Sloan’s Let’s Go Camping block of the month.
These are April’s blocks…

It is
taking us a little longer to get to number 5 because Kelly was traveling (ha,
not me this time) and I had knee surgery yesterday. Seems that exciting banana boat incident in
Key West awhile ago completely tore my ACL.

I have
made progress on two other quilts and will be back soon to share those with
you.
This is Flossi working away on our recent camping trip
In the
meantime, have a magnificent weekend!
