Clamshells ~ Splendid Sampler II ~ Block #3

Clamshells - Splendid Sampler Block #3

Appliqué and Embroidery all in one super cute block!

It is true that I fumble with both applique and embroidery – fumbly fingers, bifocals, fear of making a mistake….you name it! But I was determined to make this block by hand. And I did (with a few re-do’s). It didn’t take long – it was finished in an afternoon! I’m looking forward to more skill building in this area. How about You?

I saw an opportunity to organize my supplies and found this cute little divided dish at TARGET for $0.59!

Splendid Sampler is back!

Pat and Jane have done it again!
The Splendid Sampler is back with version 2!

Block #1 is called “Quilt Market” and was designed by Alex Veronelli from Aurifil.

Here is my version….I think I have a thing going with Blue and White these days!
