 I'm loving the variety and glad our FQGS participants are embracing the broadness of rural topics we want to see! Thank you to all the wonderfully talented artisans who took time to create and deliver projects to the store!

Review:

SOMETHING NEW for 2024: QKR Stampede has been for sale (along with other companies owned by Stamp On It by Deb S) yet they will be offering images each month for the DT to use. The DT also has the option to create anything farm/country goes. 

There will be a random prize winner receiving all 3 images featured each month. How fun is this and it's only available at FarmQuest General Store!

New to the FQ family of blogs:

NEW on January 2nd = FarmQuest HomeStyle Kitchen = Current competition is #3 March 2-31, 2024! FQHSKCB theme is AFG or Anything Food Goes; option theme to include a country farmhouse vibe;

allowed anything kitchen, pantry, produce market including kitchen tools, equipment, appliances, aprons, recipes, oven mitts/pot holders, berry baskets, bushel baskets, seed packets and more.
