Good Morning, Quilters!
Did YOU do The Splendid Sampler Sew Along? (Gallery HERE)
The Splendid Sampler Sew Along was organized by Pat Sloan and Jane Davidson and designed by more than 80 quilters. Each quilter designed a single six-inch block.
The Splendid Sampler was so popular, Pat and Jane decided to do it again! The Splendid Sampler 2- is starting soon-and they asked me to design a block! Woo hoo!
HOW THE SEW ALONG WORKS:
June 14-November 1: Every Thursday for 20 weeks a new FREE block is given out. Each week, a new designer and block are highlighted. Links to the designer’s website allow you to learn their tips and techniques for creating the block.
December 6-The Sew Along continues with blocks from the NEW Book, The Splendid Sampler 2 (pre-orders available HERE). Designer links continue.
Throughout the year–YOU can show YOUR work in a Gallery of Quilts on Facebook!
May 2, 2019–The Sew Along is complete.
CAN YOU PICK MY BLOCK?
I am sworn to secrecy about my block–that’s part of the fun! But I will say, I made it to the front cover–can YOU guess which is my block?
I LOVE A SEW ALONG!
I am excited to participate in the sew along this year! One block a week? Sure!
What about YOU?
Would YOU like to do a single block? Or a whole year of blocks?

I won’t be making it. I’m on block 63 of the first one. I’m trying to make 2 a day to finish it. I think your block is the bowl with colored balls.
Susan Shamekh
The cat?
Diane Dashevsky
I’m going out on a limb here by myself and say I think your block might be the one that looks like part of a modified log cabin. I can just see you filling those three strip strip sets with lots of those border motifs of yours…like a FMQ sampler within a block sampler…what a concept! Does the first correct answer get a free book?. LOL!!!
Vanessa
Lori that’s awesome!! Congrats and how fun! I’m guessing the tree that looks like you are standing under it looking up… Paper pieced maybe? I remember a neat photo you took like that.
Phyllis
Yes, I did the original Splendid Sampler and it’s finally on my bed completed 2 weeks ago. I enjoyed it but it put me behind on many UFO’s so won’t be doing it this time.

February 14, 2016 I got an email, source unknown regarding Splendid Sampler, so I started sewing, I have made over 70 of the blocks, need to finish up. It was so much fun and I have splendid friends all around the world. Can’t wait for round 2 to start.
Pat
I’m voting for the bird! I know you like applique.
Janet
I think the sewing machine block is yours . It has the little curl from the heart down to around the needle area. A very feminine touch.
I have received your 2nd book and Thank you so much for the continued
inspiration.
Sue H
I think it’s the clam shells with 3 flowers.
Suzanne G
I have to go along with several of the others; I think your block is either the little red sewing machine or the three flowers in the clamshells. They both look very much like something you’d do. I guess we have to wait for the book to find out? Or will we not know until next year? The suspense is killing me!!! (kidding!)
Ellen
Can’t see the whole block, but it looks like a button and I love buttons. I haven’t completed my blocks for #1 but I’m all in for #2 anyway.
Pat
Sewing machine. Every one of them is cute as a button.
Linda R
I think the sewing machine block as it looks a lot like your quilted version.
Piecequilts
I think your block is the bird on the twig at the top.
I learn a lot from you. Thanks‼️‼️
Mary Heard
My guess is the bird in the middle of the top row
Pat V
I thought it was the single flower, next to the sewing machine. It looks so much like one of your quilt motifs.
Gail
Sewing machine
yanicka

Susan
I am guessing the sewing machine is you block.
Kathleen Holm
Clamshells with the three cute flowers.
Linda B

Michele
The sewing machine for sure!!! The little heart in the thread is you Lori..
Barbara
Yes I did the Spendid sampler, 2 different times, for 2 quilts, it is so much fun, now I just need to get busy and quilt them. I also did the Moda block heads sewalong and Lori Holts Bee Happy sew along and am in the middle of Pat Sloans lets go camping sew along. Can’t wait to see which block is yours my guess the red sewing machine.
Bette
My eyes went right to the sewing machine! I can’t wait to find out the answer!
Barb Allen
Yes, I did SS #1 and loved it, would encourage people to give it a shot. Lots of sweet blocks and wonderful people with creative, inspiring ideas!
Judy Monaghan
I think it’s the sewing machine.

My guess is the clamshells with flowers.
Lori Hope

Judy Chastain
I think it’s the elephant! I didn’t do Splendid Sampler 1, but I’m thinking about II… The blocks and quilts from the first are stunning.
Deborah johnson
