I also quilted the "Stitch-along" quilt. I really wish I hadn't put the red in the sashing on a few of the blocks. Live and learn.
Here are this months "Farmer's Wife" blocks. This makes 30 of 111 blocks done. 
These are catch up blocks for the Civil War quilts block a week. 
Last for this week at the "Civil War Chronicles" blocks for July. I made a big error but did not catch it until it was too late. I mixed up a couple of fabrics. Where the redder fabrics are should be the greener ones. Oops. I guess mine will be unique to everyone else that is doing this. 
Well, my two week vacation is over. :( Only 22 more weeks till my next week off. LOL!!! I hope you all have a great week!!

Wow you have done well in your holidays...........your TTS looks great......hope you share it on the SAL blog..........i'm sure the girls would love to see it.........
Yvette, your Vintage Valentine is divine. I so love the look of the mitered corner. It is good that you are having someone quilt it since it is big and I have to admit very heavy and challenging.
You had a productive vacation with all you accomplished on your projects.
The Vintage Valentine is beautiful! I like the red sashing on the stitch along. I hope you enjoyed your vacation.
Vintage Valentine is gorgeous!!! Your mitered borders are perfection!!! Did a wonderful job quilting the Stitch along. Looks like you had the best 2 week vacation EVER!! 22 weeks will be over before you know it! :-)
Vintage Valentine is wonderful. It does make me think of the lacy old Valentines my elderly neighbor use to show me in her scrapbook when I was a little girl.
I think you should tell people you switched the red and green fabrics on purpose because you wanted your quilt to be unique!
Hooray! So happy your VV s finished - it's beautiful. Love your CW blocks too.
Wow, you certainly made the most of your vacation that's a lot of fabulous stitching - your Vintage Valentine looks absolutely wonderful.
what fantastic finishes!
Love all the blocks you have made.
I can see some familiar fabrics in your tts top. It looks great.
Yvette it looks so Awesome! I hope the long armer compliments it more with their quilting. VV is just a pattern that I have but on my wish list.
What a great way to celebrate your vacation!!
Your first quilt is so amazing as well as the other projects you have going on...
Yvette your VV is just wonderful!!! I have always loved this quilt and I'm excited to see how you have it quilted.
Looks like you got a lot done to me and of course I like it all....LOL
You certainly got a lot of sewing done on your vacation (I bet you need a vacation after your vacation, I always feel like I didn't have enough time off LOL). I like your unique Chronicles blocks and your Vintage Valentines is wonderful :o)

I love all your projects. Very nice. Hugs
Yvette, your Vintage Valentine is beautiful.... I can't wait to see it after it comes back from the quilter! The mitered borders are such a nice touch.
You had a really productive vacation - I think we need to figure out a way to eliminate this "work" thing... it so gets in the way of our creative endeavors! Have a great week!
P.S. Love the FW and BOW blocks!
Your work is beautiful!!! I'm going to attempt my first mitered border this week. I'm going to watch a you tube video first before I start choping up my fabric. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours!

There's nothing wrong with being unique. The quilt is going to look wonderful. And your Vintage Valentine quilt - it's making me swoon. I absolutely love it. Wish that I appliqued! Your other pieces are great too! I think you made good use out of your vacation!
Wow, Yvette, both quilts are simply fabulous!!!! Well, done!!! Love them. And all your blocks. Busy girl.
Oh my, I just love your Vintage Valentine quilt. Just beautiful.
I love your Vintage Valentine Quilt, your mitered borders turned out great! I think the red gives your Stitch-along quilt a little pop, it looks nice. All of your projects are great, looks like you've had a relaxing vacation. Good for you!
Wow...you are making such great progress!
Love your civil war blocks!
You sure have been busy. I must be blind...I don't see any mistakes. Your Civil War blocks look great.
I love your vintage valentine. Maybe one day mine will look like that hehe. Your blocks are wonderful. I have the Farmer's wife book and I have been thinking I should get going on that.
