The sampler you see in the videos is two rectangular pieces of fabric 31x21". I used white muslin fabric and bright cotton thread to make the stitches pop on camera, but you can use any fabric and thread you like. Markings were made using a ruler and pencil.
Let me note, I gave my sampler a two inch border all around in order to create extra space for the hoop to hold the quilt sandwich and to leave an edge where the names of the designs can be written. Four inch rectangular spaces are lined up and waiting for each week's quilt design...the first of which is the cross hatch.
Whether you take this sampler journey with me, save it in your files for later, or find inspiration for other projects that may have been set aside for a while we want to hear from you. I am working on adding a group to my Flicker account just for sharing our quilting projects and inspirations. Hopefully we will have that link on the blog this week once the bugs get worked out of the process.
Have a blessed week, and, of course, let's stitch something beautiful!
Thank you so much for sharing these tutorials. I so enjoy and learn something from each one of them. You can never go wrong with muslin. I keep a bolt at home for miscellaneous things. Enjoyed this.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dolly. I admit to hoarding muslin. You wouldn't believe the places I have used it:)
