too posted by penguin fish at 9 00 am 57 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest half way finished with the splendid sampler quilt along the last 6 months for me have been defined by one big crafty project the splendid sampler quilt along if you haven t yet joined the 21 000 people working on a splendid sampler quilt of their own here s a little background on the project started by quilting stars pat sloan and jane davidson the splendid sampler is a 100 block mystery quilt along running from feb 2016 feb 2017 each week on thursdays and sundays a new mystery 6 ½ inch quilt block is released as a digital pattern each block pattern is written by a different designer and uses a technique they re known for i ve been fortunate enough to be the designer for block 11 so far we ve seen everything from traditional piecing to embroidery and also raw edge appliqué needle turn appliqué foundation paper piecing english paper piecing and combinations of all these techniques right now the splendid sampler quilt along is totally free that means every pattern with a bunch of bonus patterns all beautifully crafted by some of your favorite designers is all at your fingertips not to mention an incredibly helpful kind and inspiring facebook group of over 21 000 quilters some quilting for 50 years and others making their first ever quilt all the patterns are free for the duration of the project and then they will be taken offline and turned into a book my versions of the splendid sampler blocks clockwise from top left 32 31 15 18 i love that there may be 21 000 splendid sampler quilts being made right now pretty amazing huh tomorrow marks the halfway point of the splendid sampler wow block 50 i m making myself a splendid sampler quilt and i m so proud i made it this far my craftiness temperament doesn t usually want me to take on large projects it likes small quick win projects so it was a big leap for me to choose to do the splendid sampler i m so happy i did i realized that breaking the quilt down into blocks turned the project into a whole series of quick wins my mom decided to do the splendid sampler too and it s been so great to have the shared experience of working on the blocks with her mom s flip flopping challenge bonus block i decided to keep myself accountable by broadcasting live the process of making every block in the streaming app periscope every night at 9 30pm central time i broadcast live and work on the most current splendid sampler block viewers can comment and ask questions in real time at minimum i thought the live broadcasting would keep me on track by giving me a dedicated time to sew and i d be able to help people with the embroidery on the block i designed block 11 the block i designed block 11 what i found through live broadcasting on periscope was community of new friends all helping each other to become better quilters and a group of wonderful people to hang out with every night it s because of my periscope community that i ve gone from a faking it quilter that knew just enough to get by to a confident quilter that could stand up tall in any room of experienced quilters one of the biggest rewards for me has been the comments and emails from quilters who ve watched the live broadcasts or the replays on youtube who ve said that the videos have helped them make their blocks and it s especially exciting when they decided to try a technique they thought they d never tackle because they could watch me do it and it didn t seem so hard anymore that makes me so happy the more people trying new things and gaining confidence through crafting the better yay us to celebrate the 50 block halfway point of the splendid sampler quilt along i ll be having a special periscope at my parent s house i ll be laying out all of my blocks like a quilt the last time i did that was when i finished block 25 the quilt has doubled in size since then and even better my mom is going to lay out all
