I love making Elizabeth Hartman's patterns as baby gifts - this is Farm Fab - and sewing these animals and sunflowers was incredibly fun. I worked on them on retreat with friends and got to pin each finished animal on the design wall as they were completed.
The chicken was my favorite - such personality! - that I added another chicken to the back of the quilt.
Each year, Raleigh plants fields of sunflowers in Dix Park and come July, they are in full bloom and ready for visits. I like to take a quilt there each year and thought this one was perfect given there were sunflowers in the quilt! (See my sunflower quilt photos: Echo from 2023, Linked in 2019, and my granny square blanket last summer.)
The sunflowers were definitely taller this year than they have been in the past. We were there at 7pm and temperatures were in the upper 90s. (Note to self not to do that next time.)
The Farm Fab quilt is definitely a great choice for photographing in a sunflower field. The sunflowers are amazingly tall and beautiful this year. It's fun to go look back at how the field has varied year to year.
