Splendid Sampler Saturday!!

It's Saturday and today's Splendid Sampler post is doing a little catch up.  Does anyone else feel like summer is rushing by and you can't quite keep up.  Gotta love the summer chaos and fun!!  So let's get to the blocks ;)

First up, the Constant Needle block designed by Laurie Simpson.  I just loved this adorable applique flower ;)  It has been one of my favorites so far, and I am just so happy with how the fabrics came together.  The pinks really add to the pop of the red.  So fun!!



Second is the Selvage Saver block designed by Pat Sloan.  This is another one that I just loved!!!  I have been saving selvages for some time and was so excited to get to use a bunch of them.  And yes, now I totally want to make an entire quilt of these, in monochromatic colors.  Wouldn't that just be awesome!! 



And Third is the Lemonade block designed by Amy Gibson.  I will admit on this one, I struggled a bit with those tiny tiny curves.  I was trying to do it with just the three pins I use on curves, and I should have used more.   I am hoping some of that puckering will come out in the quilting, or I just might need to give this one a second go.   But hey, 1 1/2" curved blocks, not to shabby!!!



And Finally, The Wishful Garden block designed by Kristyne Czepuryk.   And since we all know that I am not much of a hand stitcher, I decided to try out some of the fancy flower stitching on my Bernina for this block ;)  I just love all of those cute little embroidered flowers, and I love that I had an excuse to use some of those fun stitches that I never get a chance to play with ;)   


And with that, we are all caught up again.   Looking forward to next Saturday and some more fun Splendid Sampler Sewing :)

Have a Happy Quilting Weekend!!!
