Farm Girl Vintage Sew Along - Organizer Printable/Download

Over on Instagram, Christine @stitchingrevival and I are hosting a low-stress and year long sew along for the darling blocks in Lori Holt's book Farm Girl Vintage.  We started in March and the idea is if you make any four blocks from the book a month, you'll have the sampler done in just about a year.  (There are 45 blocks and you can make them in any order.) April and most of May have been pretty busy months for both of us, so we are getting back to making our monthly blocks this week!

This morning while organizing areas in my home,  I thought it would be great to have a little organizer to keep track of the blocks I've made and when I'm going to make blocks. So of course, I dropped what I was working on and made this quick little organizer.  It's nothing fancy, but I thought I'd share with you all! The book is the perfect size to fit a standard piece of paper right in the front cover, so I just paper clipped mine in place.  I made it in two colors {aqua and gray} and you just need to download and print. I left some blank lines incase you wanted to make additional blocks or add your own blocks.

Happy Sewing and come join in the fun over on Instagram for the #farmgirlvintagesal!

Simple Patchwork Pillows - FREE Pattern

One thing I love making right now are pillows. When I made my first quilted pillow, I had no idea how much I'd enjoy making them and how dare I say...addicting...they'd turn out to be.

Over Christmas, I made this super simple and oh so cute Christmas pillow from a collection of my vintage/vintage inspired Christmas fabrics I love to hoard keep on hand for Christmas projects.  I made three of them as gifts.

Christmas. I love it.

Then I made the same pillow using one of my beloved Happy Go Lucky charm packs (I just cut it into 2.5" squares) to make for my friend Christine.

 

Then I made all of these.

See addicting.

So today I'm sharing the pattern for these pillows because they really are super simple and super addicting. (It's so simple, but the pattern includes full directions on finishing the pillow.) So dig out that random mini-charm pack and make something fun and quick for yourself. Or cut that prized what-in-the-world-can-I-make-with-only-one-charm-pack into 2.5" squares and have enough fabric for four pillows. You know one for you the rest for friends...or for your couch. Because a couch full of pretty pillow like these....is quite a fun sight.

 

That is until, your kids or husband, throw them on the ground one minute after you arrange them just so. Oh well, even if that happens, take a picture to document it and frame it where you can see if often. Then you can sigh at pillow perfection whenever you feel the need. 

Happy Sewing!
