Good morning, Quilters!
Today, we have a round-up of the Rose & Dot quilt block, but before we get started, I would like to wish a hearty, WELCOME! to those of you who have joined us over the last couple of weeks. We are delighted that YOU are here!!
In addition to daily quilting tips, you’ll find step-by-step free motion quilting tutorials (under Motifs at the top!) and tons of tricks for free motion quilting, choosing the right thread, and so much more.
We also have an impressive community of quilters who share their knowledge and quilting experience in the comments and on Lori Kennedy Quilts on Facebook and LoriKennedy Quilts on Instagram.
I promise you’ll learn a lot and stay inspired!
FREE Quilt Block from The Splendid Sampler 2
My grandmother, Rose and my mother, Dorothy loved to quilt, garden, and cook – and they passed that love on to me. (Or at least love for one of those things…. HA!)
Consequently, when Pat Sloan and Jane Davidson asked me to design a block for the Splendid Sampler 2, my inspiration was clear – my mother and grandmother! The Rose & Dot block is one of 100 blocks included in the Splendid Sampler 2 book. In addition, it is included in the twenty FREE blocks from The Splendid Sampler 2 offered online!
Download the pattern, then check out my tips for stitching the Rose & Dot quilt block HERE.
