The Splendid Sampler 2!

Did you take part in the first Splendid Sampler project a couple of year’s back?  It was a fabulous success, so a sequel is on it’s way!

This started off as an online Sew Along and ended up as a book published by Martingale. Pat Sloan and Jane Davidson are running things again but this time they have already written the book.  The blocks are designed by 80 different quilt designers from around the world, and I just happen to be one of them!!  I am so excited to be part of this incredible team of designers!

Head over to the website here to read all about this project and how you can join in. You can also pre-order the book which will be shipping in mid-October. Meanwhile the Sew Along starts on June 14th when 20 FREE Blocks are launched! Plus there is a really fun Facebook group where everyone shares their blocks plus tips and advice.

As one of the designers I’ve already started secretly sewing some of the blocks and I have a wonderful quilt planned. I can’t wait to share these with you soon!

While we’re talking about launches I should probably mention that the tickets for this year’s Stitch Gathering went on sale last Friday!  As in previous year’s there are 80 spaces available and over 50 of these have already gone.  There is still time to book your place, head over to our website to nab a ticket of your own before it’s too late!
