The Splendid Sampler...have you been sewing along?

We are now halfway through the Splendid Sampler and aren't we getting some lovely blocks!

I decided to make mine in all different blue fabrics...cause you know blue is my fave colour..

Here I have a few finished ones...I started out great but work has been a little busy...I catch up when I can!

It's also okay to be bit behind....and you don't have to make every block...I know some of you don't embroider and that my block was a bit challenging, but that's okay..we do what we can!

It's been fun to get to know the designers too....I am thrilled that I have a few new followers!

So, here is the website...just in case...The Splendid Sampler

most of all, continue to have fun!! There are lots more wonderful blocks coming up!

Cheers

Keep Stitching!

I think that is why I stopped. I should have given my permission to skip and do less. Even 100 overwhelmed me.

[Martina]

So beautiful blocks in blue! I am behind too, but it is great to make the blocks whenever there is some time, or even just those I really want to make, lol!

[Aurea]

I have done 40, delayed due to injury but I will catch up. Thank you for your gifts and generosity.

[Jill Evans]

Gail somehow I missed this, is it possible to still get the block patterns?

[Chris]

Love you designs. Will be looking for you in my quilt shop because of the splendid sampler project. One of my favs!

[Sue]

I made my Splendid in all colors but really like your blue. Thanks for being a designer!

[Diane Oakes]

Love your blue blocks. I haven't started yet, but love the idea of one color choice. Thanks for sharing.

[Donna]

I haven't started yet, but love seeing all the colors people are using. Turns out blues are my favorite, now I can start using my blues.

[Crystal]

Gail, Thanks for sharing. Love your completed blocks. I was daunted by the embroidery blocks but was determined to at least try and I now find them to be my favorites! I have only completed 1-25, but I am looking forward to your block when I get there!!! Thanks!

[Lori Smanski]

i love the colors you are using on your sampler quilt. I am trailing a bit.

I love your color choices. I decided when I started this that I would only use fabrics from my stash. So mine is very scrappy.
I've done 49.

[Liz Dyer]

This has been a fun journey. I am skipping the blocks that require handwork as the arthritis in my hands won't let me make them.

[Jeannine Wight]

Thanks to blocks like yours, im embroidering now and teaching a little 12 year old girl to learn with me! I love your block.

[Cindy Dickinson]

Your block is one of my favorites. Thanks for adding to the fun!

[Christy Miller]

Hi Gail, Sure I am behind, not much, and when summer busy season is over I will catch up or not. :) I am not a woman that liked embroidery. Love the look, not the doing. Anyway, I committed to doing all the blocks in 2 colorways so I will have 2 quilts. One for me and one for granddaughter. I admit that the stitching is awkward and my patience runs thin, but I am doing it. And bless my soul, found out I like it. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

[Oksana]

I was hooked on the Splendid journey from the beginning-
Love all of the variety of techniques and am completely hooked on the embroidery. Thanks so much for the lovely design, such fun!

[MaryJean Bower]

I love your choice of the blues. Very pretty. I finished 19 blocks. Taking it slow and steady in between other projects.

[Gloria Pope]

I love all the blues. Brilliant!

[Linda Andrews]

I love the opportunity to try different techniques in little bits.

[Laila]

I'm a little behind,but I will do all the 100. But I skip the extras...so fare that is.
I love your block. Not all finish yet...but I work on it.
Love your blue blocks.
:-)

[Carol]

Love your colors!!

[Karen Seitz]

Your blocks are stunning!

[Ava]

Your SS block is beautiful. With hand problems I am working on a way to stitch it by machine because definitely I want it included in my quilt.

[Pati Cook]

I am enjoying the Splendid Sampler blocks. like doing all the different techniques. Thank you.

Love the blue blocks. I love blue but it is one color that is lacking in my stash. I know how to embroider but it is not my passion. If it cannot be done by sewing machine, I probably will not be doing it. I love my sewing machine way too much and really don't want them to feel slighted. :)
