SAMPLER SCENIC
Traditionally, a sampler quilt is a beautiful way to showcase
a variety of techniques within one quilt. Many traditional
quilters used samplers to showcase their quilting expertise,
while creating unique works of stitched art that tell stories.
Samplers are known for each being a little different, and yet
unified with an overall theme. We decided to pay homage
to the time-honored tradition of sampler quilts by combining
two of this month’s quilting collections to create a sampler
of our own. The Resilient Thistle and Sunny Sunflower
collections feature multiple stitching styles to ensure your
success! Admire the rich and detailed stitching in the hidden
appliqué blocks, then add in something simpler like the free
motion designs for balance. A hand stitched block is sure
to give that “made with love” look while finishing in a flash,
and standard embroidery will let you have fun with thread!
Whichever techniques you choose to stitch, the overall
theme of the floral designs will help tie your finished quilt
together. Try a sampler of these blocks for a wall hanging,
placemats, a lap quilt, or anything else your heart desires!
