My FarmQuest General Store #38 anything farm and or country goes DT projects for 7 Mar 2026

 Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Country Creativity!

why: This posting showcases my newest design team inspiration projects for FarmQuest General Store challenge blog. The challenge theme is always 'anything farm and/or country goes' with country referring to rural or remote outdoors settings and related activities. 

For March, I decided to do a farmhouse garden or meadow vibe for project #2 with barnwood, plaid, bee, ladybugs and wildflowers. For project #1, I also kept to a garden setting with flowering trees, birds, flowers, bees, butterfly and dragonfly!
