The Splendid Sampler 2–I’m In!!!
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!

Im guessing yours is the red sewing machine block…just guessing…
That’s what I think, too!
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.
My guess is the clamshells with flowers.
That’s what I think, too!
My pick also.
I think it’s the sewing machine.
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!
My eyes went right to the sewing machine! I can’t wait to find out the answer!
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.
The sewing machine for sure!!! The little heart in the thread is you Lori..
Absolutely no idea! But glad to know you are in it!!
Clamshells with the three cute flowers.
I am guessing the sewing machine is you block.
I loved seeing all the beautiful blocks last time !!! Can’t wait for this one too
Sewing machine
I thought it was the single flower, next to the sewing machine. It looks so much like one of your quilt motifs.
My guess is the bird in the middle of the top row
I think your block is the bird on the twig at the top.
I learn a lot from you. Thanks‼️‼️
I think the sewing machine block as it looks a lot like your quilted version.
Sewing machine. Every one of them is cute as a button.
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.
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!)
I think it’s the clam shells with 3 flowers.
I’m voting for the bird! I know you like applique.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
The cat?
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.
