It's time for my Farm Girl Vintage Sew Along update this week.
Here's the Autumn Star block that I finished yesterday.
I love the citron and pink triangles in this one.
Since I'm making the 6 inch size block, some of the pieces are pretty small!
Now, the Baby Chick block. It's so cute!
Yes, I know he has no legs. I do need to work on that.
Hand embroidery or machine? I'm not sure what I want to do here.
I've got my fabrics picked out for tomorrow, Farm Girl Friday!
Very cute - as always I love your fabric choices. I vote for hand embroidery...easier to make it look the way you want...plus I love hand embroidery.
ReplyDeleteLove the blocks... particularly that little chick! I did some embroidery with my sewing machine a while back...bird legs in fact...I used the triple stitch on my machine (a Janome) with a Sulky rayon thread and it turned out great. I drew the lines I wanted to stitch with chalk first so it was easy to figure out where I was going. That's my 2 cents worth!
ReplyDeleteYou're tempting me to play along, even though I told myself no more projects until I get some finished ;-) Love the chick block especially!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blocks! :-)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! How did you end up doing the chick legs?
ReplyDeleteThough the small blocks can be fiddly if they have a lot of pieces, they are are satisfying to finish one and have it look nice!
