Sampler Quilt

Hello everybody,

Finally I am back . On this moment I have vacation with my husband. It is lovely to have time to do the things you like to do or not to do (the last means doing nothing), and also doing the simple things of life together. We both enjoy it that there is a moment now we don't have to work. Next week normal life start again, but at this moment I don't want to think about it. I enjoy every moment.

This weekend there is een exposition of quilts in Leiden, the theme is weather. You certainly understand that I want to go there. It's almost 1 hour from my home and it's very nice to visit. When I have news over this exposition I will let you know.

With the folowing pictures you can see what my result is of a cursus to make a sampler quilt. I did this last spring en enjoyed it very much. I had made some panels that I had quilted and also some paper piecing.

In this cursus I learned to use templates, and that has made that I saw a whole new world of possibilities for patchwork and quilting. I like patchwork and quilting even more than I did before.

Here are 2 of the blocks from the sampler I made, in totally there were 9 blocks.

This is before sewing.

After several weeks, months and a lot of cutting and sewing there was a result of 9 blocks that made me very happy, I can tell you that it became more than I expected to made.

On the next picture you can see the first result of my blocks.

The followong pictures will show you some details of quilting after finishing the top.

And finally this is the result!!!

Thank you for visiting my blog.
