The Spendid Sampler

Hi there! Happy Monday!  Hope you had a nice weekend.  We tried a little too hard to capture that vacation feeling from the week before with some sleeping in late, but that always makes me feel guilty.  What about you?  I don't know why, I'm a grown up, I can decide how late to sleep, right? 

 

Anyway, enough about me and my late-sleeping-angst!

 

My exciting news today is that I'm part of a great new project called The Splendid Sampler.  Pat Sloan and Jane Davidson dreamed up an Epic Adventure and invited me to participate along with a whole host of wonderful designers, in making blocks for The Splendid Sampler. 

 

Months ago, Moda shipped fabric and Aurifil shipped thread and we got busy designing and stitching up wonderful blocks to share with you.  Our official kick off is Valentine's Day, and from that point forward each Sunday and Thursday Pat and Jane will share a new block to add to your sampler.  There are blocks of all types and all levels, take on the blocks that suit your fancy. 

 

To make things fun, there's a Facebook group to share your blocks in, and you can go sign up here.  There are already over 3000 members from all over the world!  Even if you don't intend to sew a single stitch, sign up to watch what everyone else is stitching! That's half the fun!

 

Ok, that's all my exciting news for Monday!  I hope you join in all the fun!
