Splendid Sampler with Pat Sloan and Jane from QuiltJane

Morning All,

 

I have never ever done a sampler quilt and one day whilst strolling through facebook found a link to the Splendid Sampler.

 

What a fantastic idea 100 blocks in the year - 2 blocks released each week in a variety of techniques from english paper piecing, applique, strip piecing, etc etc.

 

Not sure that I will be able to keep up but I did think it would be a fantastic way to improve my techniques and skills and learn little hints and tips along the way.  My other option is that I can always print off the instructions and complete them later. 

 

One week in, Two blocks down and I'm impatiently waiting for the 3rd block

(along with 55000 other quilters apparently)

 

I am using fabric from my friend Gail Pan and having fun with fussy cutting - love those birds.

Both her ranges Baskets in Bloom and Among the Flowers. 

For any stitching I will be using Running Postman from Cottage Garden Threads.

 

Here are my first two block and today I intend on finishing the bonus project pin cushion using the Cathedral Window techniques.

 

Block 1 - designed by Pat Sloan

Block 2 - designed by Jane Davidson of QuiltJane

 

I do have this fabric in store and have some Basket in Bloom Fat Quarter Bundles for $40 -

this bundle includes 19 fat quarters

 

The Among the Flower Range is $20 per meter.  Fat Quarters are $5.00.  Min cut 20cm.

This is the range with the birds.

 

Have fun and keep stitching,

 

Nay
