I started this unembellished band sampler with stitches starting with Week 2. It is actually 28 inches long and this about 1/2 of it. The rest will continue to be done in stitches as the weeks pass.

Here are the first two weeks on the perforated paper. I will add one row each week if the stitch allows such things.

The vegetable sampler at Aroma, an Indian restaurant in the Shirlington section of Arlington, Virginia -- pakoras, samosa, and aloo tikki ($6.95).

Mixing my color scraps for the 'main' fabric and printed whites for my background fabric, I created a completely unique look and layout for Tula Pink's Modern Sampler.

Ten blocks that I'm super happy with. I'm already determining which ones I think benefit from being set on point, and I'll have to come up with a setting that will show off both on point and traditionally set blocks.

I've got some catching up to do to get to where I was, but that's all right. I've pre-cut the fabric for another five or six blocks.

I also went through the book, did the quilt-y math, and scribbled my rotary cutting instructions on each block that I determined could be reasonably rotary cut. There's a few that *could* be rotary cut but are on a five by five grid that I'm debating my plan of attack for.

A few people have emailed me and left notes on my blog that they want to make one of these. If you are interested in me making a tutorial on how to make one and how to work th e stitches to hold the spine together post a comment here. This way I know how much interest there is in such a thing. You can also post that on the blog as well.

thanks Sunshine
