A classic sampler with a twist!

 

This very different classic sampler is made by Cherie Mincherton and looks absolutely stunning.

Cherie says her blocks came up a bit smaller -possibly her seam allowance was a little on the large side - but look how creative she has been. She has set them on the twist and created this gorgeous quilt which we understand is due to be heading over to Australia.

Brilliant.

I'm heading up to Dorking tomorrow as it is Freddie's first birthday party on Saturday so I shall make sure I take lots of photos to show you.

And Still More Clever Ladies!

 

Congratulations to Paula Hope - another Classic Sampler Quilt completed. Apologies if we've got your name wrong Paula but although Nicky has written down Polly Hope  she thinks it was actually Paula.  So Polly or Paula - your quilt looks great. We love your fabrics - they look gorgeous.

Twitter is a fantastic way to get in touch with us so if you have anything you would like to share with us and you think it would interest our blog readers do let us know.

Classic Sampler Quilts

 

 

Here are some photos of our Classic Sampler Quilt completed. This one here is from Holley Powey who actually sent me this photo quite a few weeks ago. I expect it is now quilted and bound - only joking Holley. It looks great.

 

 

 

And in a totally different colour pallette, this one is made by Silvia Witzel from Germany. Hi there Silvia - it looks gorgeous and we really like the choice of sashing.

I know everyone is waiting for the next block of the month but we have such a lot on at the moment we can't promise anything right away although we are working on it!

I'll never be nominated for the Oscars!

Okay - I don't want any comments on this video. It was way out of my comfort zone but as a first attempt it could have been worse. When I showed it to Nicky she did comment that you could hardly see what I was doing but I promise I will improve!

I just wanted to show how easy it is to use the Omnigrid 96 as you use it so much in the Classic Sampler Quilt. When I have improved my filming techniques I will try and make it clearer!
