Hello friends,

Wondering about the title of my blog post? That's my summer flying by! I just don't know where the days go, but here we are at the end of June already and I feel like summer is passing me by! 

So what's new at the farmhouse? I have been very busy with the sewalong project hosted by Fat Quarter Shop, and while it is not quite done, I will certainly be able to put the finishing touches on it fairly quickly:

This is a free pattern called Layer Cake Spools and can be found by clicking here. I used an unusual color and fabric palette for me, but I really like how it ended up looking! 

The instructions for this quilt are not hard, and you just need 2 layer cakes or cut your own 10" squares. I would highly recommend buying the Layer Cakes because that is a time-saver! These are what I used: 

The grey is called Dry Brush Slate and can be found by clicking here( click). The coffee print is called Coffee Chalk and can be found here ( click). Look at all the cute prints inside that Coffee Chalk package: 

I am not a coffee drinker, but this will make a perfect quilt for our oldest son, who loves his coffee ;).

In the evenings I continue with my big stitch quilting on this quilt:

The house and tree blocks were a panel I picked up at my local re-use store, and the other blocks I added by making a sort-of log cabin block with scraps from my stash. It is very bright but it brings me joy to work on it and I'm going to love having this on a wall somewhere! 

I am stitching this with a BIG running stitch, using my favorite thread ( click)!

Other than these two projects, I haven't done much creating. We have been busy enjoying the summer weather and doing stuff outside when it is not too "soupy"!

Things like gardening.....

....kayaking....

....and going outside and keeping an eye on the dogs to protect baby bunny nests!

I'm still working on putting the finishing touches on my Strawberry Table Topper and am hopeful to get that into my shop by the end of the week. 

You can find me on Etsy under HyggeFarmhouse or by clicking here ( click).

Talk to you again real soon, and in the meanwhile~ happy creating!
