Heart Quilt Project: A Vintage-Inspired Creation
There are many different versions of hearts showing up all over Instagram these days. Seeing them got the maker in the mood to create a little heart quilt. This heart pattern comes straight from the Vintage Farm Girl book, and the choice was to make the larger size heart, which finishes at about 4″. The Farm Girl Vintage quilt is currently on hold, waiting for more of the Moda dot background fabric to arrive. It’s been ordered, so hopefully it won’t be long now before it can be finished.
Main Benefits of the Heart Quilt Project
Here are some key points about this heart quilt project:
- Pattern source: Vintage Farm Girl book
- Heart size: Larger version, finishing at 4 inches
- Fabric on hold: Moda dot background fabric
- Project status: Paused until fabric arrives

Hello Darling Layer Cake Quilt: A Bonnie and Camille Delight
The Hello Darling layer cake quilt, made with Bonnie and Camille fabrics, has been quilted and washed. The freshly washed quilt has that lovely crinkled look that many quilters adore. Essex white linen was used in this quilt, which adds a unique texture. The linen does fray a bit during piecing, but it’s manageable and adds to the charm of the finished piece.
Fabric Choices and Their Effects
Using Essex white linen in quilting projects brings a special touch. While it frays a bit when piecing, this characteristic is manageable and contributes to the quilt’s overall texture and feel. The crinkled look after washing enhances the quilt’s cozy, lived-in vibe, making it even more inviting.
Winter Blessings Wall Hanging Kit Arrival
A new kit arrived recently from Yellowfarmhouse, designed to make the Winter Blessings wall hanging. The kit includes a sweet little rusty snowflake that adds a charming, rustic touch to the project. This wall hanging is perfect for bringing a bit of winter warmth and festive spirit into any space.
