Last Year's Winter Sampler

Chris Brown, the proprietress of the Attic Window, offers a block of the month sampler every year.  Last year was the first year I didn't participate;  I just wanted to do more variety of projects.  For several years we used The Block Tool as the source for the Sampler blocks.  This Tool, is a must have reference for quilters, as it not only offers about 100 blocks in various sizes, it has technique tutorials as well.

(Sorry for the sideways photo, still working on that skill)

Yesterday at the" Farm Girl" block of the month, Sue C showed us her completed Sampler from last year.  Sue also assisted Chris, as did many other "seasonal" quilters, with the Winter blocks - blues and whites.  Sue's sidekick in this BOM is Marilyn who also showed her in-progress Spring block quilt.  I think Marilyn is opting to not do the appliqué, while Sue uses the freezer paper, hand appliqué method, I believe.  Enjoy!

I'm unsure who did the summer and autumn blocks, but I'm sure the ladies who attended this Sampler  enjoyed each month immensely.   Chris always allows time for show and tell - so much talent int the quilting world.   It's a great social time as well!
