QM,
Can't wait to see what you create:thumbup:

Ok farm gals.........I'm in........can't wait to see what this farming project produces :shock:
Grace, I'll send you a PM with details........
Yeehaw..........http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...9mP8YZYYaI6AXQ

Hey Scrapper, that pig looks like a perfect pattern.

Now that I looked for ideas, I have nine I want to do and that does not include my embroidery machine designs. Hmmmm, guess I have to pick, oh darn. I could make one of everything of my ideas and then whichever I like making more of, will make those. Yeah, that is what I will do.

Glad you could join us!:thumbup:

I know what you mean. I have so many ideas of blocks that I want to make. It took me a while to decide which one to try first.

Ronda,
canned fruit sounds great for this swap!:thumbup:

Hey Ronda!

Fancy finding you here. :). Maybe we need to set up a group so that those of us that travel as a pack can make sure that we all gt to the next swap(s). Or maybe designate a swap watch dog to alert us. :)
None of us have the ability to turn down a cute swap do we?

No we just can't turn them down, after all we keep pushing each other off the fence, breaking arms from twisting, then send ambulances to take care of each other by using glue and duct tape, we are stuck together.

Hehe!!:D I'll be the person that supplies the duct tape.

This is what I'm thinking of for my first set. What do you all think?? Yes or no?
It measures 9.5".

Howdy, from my farm in Washington. Maybe I should give this a shot since I do live on a farm... :D

Is this swap any type of block like pp, applique, embroidery, etc.? It's probably in your info post but I missed it. Just wondering. When I get caught up on my 'other' swaps', I will officially commit... OR, is it that 'someone will commit me?'??? :D RW and Mariposa: no comments, please!:D

I love your block Ms Grace - it is perfect!

We'd love for you to join the fun.
Yes, any type block: pieced, pp, applique, embroidery....:thumbup:

Careful Sewextreme, we push people off the fence if you are undecided or Ms. Grace twists arms and such to get you to join, so in my humble wounded opinion, with a bit of mischevious in there, you are committed now since you live in WA by me. That farm needs to be represented.

SewExtreme~ You're already committed! ;) hehehe......

Count me in.. I love to do machine embroidery and appliqué and have lots of farm related designs

Glad for you to join us:thumbup:

Here is my first set of blocks for this swap.[ATTACH=CONFIG]347912[/ATTACH]

Tam...Moo,
Those are very cute. I really like the chicken ones:thumbup:
What size are they?

Thank you - these are 6.5"

Bugs in a jar
 

I'm sure kids at the farm will be collecting all sorts of "critters" in canning jars. Here is one from my swap sets.

OK, I want one of your bug jars! Too cute. [some times that phrase seems so trite... they are ALL so cute!]:D

Bug in a jar is over the top cute! Nicely done. :thumbup:

i think I need to have that bug in a jar as well. He is as cute as a bug. :D 5:00 can get here fast enough for me today. Tired of work and want to sew and play like youladies are getting to. I found a barn and tractor I think i need to do along with my cow. Also got a pig that is pretty darn cute just have to find the right fabric to make him/her. Well, back to work for the last hour.

Now these are some real country farm blocks. Great job girl. Where did you find those center blocks? Have not seen something like that for awhile.

Fun on the Farm (more fun blocks)
 

More critters caught in canning jars on the FUN FARM.

ccorazone-
where did you get those designs. They are just darling!

They come from www.smartneedle.com

the critter jars are very cute!

Oh I want those buggy critters!!! They are so cute. They will go nicely in my quilt, not my garden.

Thank you!

Ok, I just had to go and look, now I so want to order some of those goodies. But what to do with them once I make them. I can't start another project, my UFOs aren't done. Oh such agony. :hunf::mad: Well, Ms. Grace just better make sure I get some of those bugs so I don't miss out.:o

I was looking on line for a different paper peiced pattern and found this site. There are a lot of cute farm animals on it. http://sewhooked.com/free-quilt-patterns/

Thanks for sharing

Trying to decide if this will work for me. I don't have anymore of this fabric so will need to pick something else out. My hand applique is not real good but here is a possible addition to our quilts.

The piggy is cute. Please make sure that any embellishments are sent in a seperate baggie attached to the quilt block.

Oh, I know for sure, cause that is how I prefer, I just set the button on to photo so you could see the effect of the eye I was going to choose. It is a pain in somewhere to have to try and load the quilt with embellishments, then to use a pattern which may hit one, no fun for a longarmer. No worries there. Just seeing if this was a pig to be used.
