The Splendid Sampler™

The Splendid Sampler™ Wednesday
 (...skip this part if you're not new here...)

The Splendid Sampler™ is an internet sew-a-long created by Pat Sloan and Jane Davidson. It is an EPIC sew along...

• 83 fabric designers have created specific blocks that feature different quilting techniques. (paper piecing, fused applique, etc.).
• The blocks will be released each week, and are FREE to participants until March 2017. (at that time, they'll use the designs to publish a book).
• You can use whatever fabric you like.
• There will be pictures on their Facebook page, etc.

The new block designs come out twice a week....on Sunday morning and Thursday morning.

********************

Block #10, designed by Sherri McConnell, is called IOWA!!

Block #11 is called Crocheted Thoughts

Of course, Sandy did BOTH BLOCKS.

And that's very impressive, right?? To do TWO new blocks the same week the designs came out?? yes, Sandy -- VERY IMPRESSIVE...

Who did these two very different versions of IOWA?

And then, two different versions of Crocheted Thoughts??

Yes, our over-achiever, Linda P...!!

GOOD JOB, GIRLS. But, alas, for some of us -- this wasn't the week for quilting. I had a little girl to take to Chicago...and LK had a book to read.

On this day -- LK and I were quite happy to toast the success and creativity of our sister sewists.
