This is a book I made on Jan 13 2007 to hold samples of embroidery to learn more follow link
pages made out of wool gabardine
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
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.
What a disaster! Can you see all the mistakes? See all all along the right side? All the add in stuff I had to put in? I made so, so, many mistakes it was a disgrace! I made this when I was 28 years old. I am now 36, and have made several more since then. I have learned to "count twice, stitch once"! I have one sampler that I am working on now, but to tell the truth, I haven't picked it up in months! Sometimes you just get sick of looking at what you are working on.
For some reason, this block gave me fits. It's just a bunch of flying geese units. The design is given its appearance by careful color placement.
This is actually my second attempt at the block, and I ended up paper-piecing it so I wouldn't set fire to my sewing machine.
the december sampler! very fun stuff!! i contributed my own mini zine and was in the croq holiday cookbook.
Made by a 19th century woman to tell the story of her life. Not a traditional sampler, but incredibly moving and an amazing piece of art!

The computer design for the sampler. I haven't put the flying geese border on the real quilt, and I'm not sure if I will.
My new machine works miracles. I love the monograms, cross stitch patterns, fonts etc. it's amazing!
hasn't been washed yet...my new washer is a bit small so i may have to hold off. i love it.
also, you can see the binding and the quilting rather well in this picture.

I gave a bit of my own twist on the block, but made sure to keep the curves really gentle, like Alyssa suggested. I think it would have been easier with a smaller rotary cutter. Otherwise, it went surprisingly well! There is a little bit of breath holding while you sew and before you open the seam, wondering if everything matched up ok!
block one of a sampler quilt. I'm making it up as I go along. this block came from a quilting book and was originally 20 inches square, so I drafted it down to 7.5. I'll add a border (maybe the blue) around the edges once I decide if the finished blocks are going to be 8 or 9 inches square.
The summer sampler series from 2011 completed 11 of the blocks plus one extra star of Virginia.
I plan on using these blocks within a larger quilt, but looking at them in a mosaic sure is nice.
