🚜 This Month’s Quilt Block Mania Theme is the Farm — So I Brought My Favorite Farmer
It’s harvest season over here at Nutcracker Acres, and this month’s block is ready to work hard and look good doing it.
✨ Meet the Farmer Nutcracker — a proud steward of the land, pitchfork in hand and boots planted firmly in the soil. He’s got a sturdy milk can by his side, a glint in his eye, and a mustache that means business. (Also possibly biscuits.)
This month’s block is a nod to the unsung heroes of farm life—the ones who rise with the sun, get dirt under their nails, and still manage to bring warmth and charm to every patch of earth they tend.
📷 Style Tips for Your Nutcracker:
- Add a touch of realism with textured batiks for denim and metal accents
-
Stitch on a patch or pocket to give his overalls some extra flair
-
Want to personalize him? Give him (or her!) a flannel shirt using your scrappiest prints
