Just a quick post to share my slow but steady progress on the Farm Girl Vintage quilt with the linky party at Sew Fresh Quilts! This is what I worked on this past week/weekend. The tractor is done except for the embroidered details! And the barn… And a couple of filler blocks.. To join the…

So, after spending way too much time on the computer, I think I fixed my subscription process. I’m not sure if those of you that thought you subscribed will need to go back and subscribe again, but you should get a subscription confirmation email with a link to confirm it and confirm that you are…
