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. *******************

If you come here every Wednesday to read about our Splendid Sampler progress...I don't want you to be disappointed.  But, hey -- WE ARE SIMPLE MORTALS, people...and mothers, grandmothers, doing the best we can to survive these blankety holidays.  SO I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NEW TO REPORT...

But -- just in case you missed this last update -- WE'LL EVENTUALLY GET TO IT!!

Here's the thing....this time of year is SO DARN BUSY -- it's hard to keep up with two block designs each week. MUCH LESS all the bonus blocks. Holy Cow. You'd have to be some kind of Superwoman to do that!!

Luckily -- WE HAVE ONE OF THOSE!!

Even though Linda and her husband Don were out of town for a ONCE IN A LIFETIME trip to New York City to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade -- when she came home, she DID ALL THIS SEWING!!

Linda and Don went to New York to watch their grandsons march in the parade!

Their Thanksgiving Dinner was a cruise...with some beautiful views of the city...

And, then, she did all this...
