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. I'm doing this with my TMBC...and, therefore, it is my pleasure to BLOG ABOUT IT every Wednesday. *******************
IT'S ALMOST OVER..!! Pat Sloan and her friends have been ruthless...coming up with two new block designs every week, and lots of Bonus blocks, too...EVERY WEEK FOR A YEAR. Yikes. Only a week left to go!!
By now -- you know the drill. LP does doubles...
of EVERY SINGLE BLOCK...
She will be making TWO quilts from her SS blocks...
Sometimes, the blocks are the same (or at least similar)...
Other times -- they are VERY DIFFERENT...
Since Linda fell in love with her Singer Featherweight, she has become a SEWING MACHINE!!
Sandy does her block, and attaches it to the pattern for the block. THESE GIRLS ARE SO ORGANIZED...
This week was AN IMPRESSIVE BODY OF WORK...
These three sewing rock stars had a very productive week!!
As you know, sewing has taken a back seat to CLEANING MY BASEMENT and getting ready for Mary. I kept forgetting to take pictures -- but, one way or another -- there will be a complete report on Mary's visit....
