Those of us who love farms and farm things and are quilters will be glad to learn of a new book by Lori Holt called "farm Girl Vintage". Barns, tractors, chickens, sheep, strawberries, all things wonderful in patchwork. It is available from the Fat Quarter shop in Texas. Just love it!

Lori Holt has some super cute designs. I have her first book too. I am starting to do her quilt along she is doing on insta-gram and I think maybe her blog too. I amUsing her canning jar block for a few potholders, and might do a few with the chick block.

I got my book - now to find time to make some of the blocks! I love the sheep.

She's featured in the Aug/Sept issue of MJF thanks to the heads up from Bonnie. Darling quilts for sure.

A friend of mine has made quite a few of the blocks and says it is addictive. She can't stop making them. Comments on FB say the same thing.
Alicia - you need to take up quilting. I love it - it is very relaxing to me.

That's wonderful, MaryJane. Can't wait to see the feature story. She has several other quilt patterns and books and I've followed her blog for a while. This book is amazing - all the block patterns and quilts. I love it!

I just got my copy and I love all the designs. I already have 3 quilting and 1 knitting project going so could I handle another. I like the idea of making small projects that can get done easily. Now which one.
May all your weeds be wildflowers, mine are. |

I have the book, but haven't had time to make any of the blocks yet. It's hard to choose which one to get. LOL! I love the chicken and sheep blocks.

If you get MaryJanesFarm magazine, in this month's issue Farm Girl Vintage and Lori Holt are featured with an article. You can see many of her quilt blocks on pages 70-71.

Of course if you keep up with Lori, she has two new patterns to download for a fee, an adorable pig and apples. Just perfect for fall.
