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!
