A Splendid Celebration and a Giveaway!

Happy Valentines Day!

One year ago we started down this Splendid road. Many of you completed all 100 blocks, and many (like me) are still working!

Be sure to visit the Splendid Sampler website where Pat and Jane are hosting a giveaway.

In celebration, I am hosting a giveaway for two US winners and 2 International winners. To enter, leave a comment on this post and tell me about what you thought was the best part of this Splendid year.

Enter by 6PM CST Tuesday February 21.

US Winners International Winners

For me, it was an amazing journey with the thousands of quilters who participated. The world wide participation was awesome. The blocks and the quilts that have come from this sew along are remarkable. I’m so glad to have been part of it!
