Show and Tell from January Second Saturday Sampler

Susan never fails to bring a finished quilt top for Saturday Sampler Show and Tell. We all need to learn her secret for finishing projects!

 

Lori used her Saturday Sampler blocks from last year and combined them with House blocks to make a quilt for her son when he got married. For the label on the back of the quilt she made a large house and included a picture of her son and his wife in the windows, the wedding announcement for the door, and a “Marietta” block from Olde America Antiques vintage postcard designs on the roof since the newlyweds are living here in Marietta. Such a cute idea!

Finale Quilts of 2012 Seconnd Saturday Sampler - pt 2

Amanda came up with a fabulous setting for the Batik alternate blocks she made. 

 

Linda made the blue/brown alternate blocks and the border fabric she found to showcase her blocks. 

 Patterns for the alternate block quilts are available for purchase.  A “reveal” party will be held on Sunday, Feb. 17 from 1pm – 3pm for our customers to show off their finished quilts so stay tuned to the blog  to see all their creative ideas!

Finished Quilt tops using the Sampler Blocks of Second Saturday Sampler 2012 - pt 1

All the finished quilts debuted today at Second Saturday Sampler to a lot of ooh’s and ahh’s! This year everyone had a choice of making 12” or 6” reproduction blocks with the fabric that came in the kits. Wanda, who designed the series, set her blocks in a classic reproduction setting. 

 

The smaller 6” blocks were set in a similar, but simpler setting.

  Dena, who made all the contemporary alternate blocks this year, designed an original contemporary setting to showcase her blocks. 

If you like the setting, but didn’t make the contemporary blocks, it will work equally well with reproduction fabrics as you can see from Chris’s quilt.

December Second Saturday Sampler - pt 3

Pam was so happy to finally turn last year’s six-inch 2^nd Sat. Sampler blocks into a finished quilt. We loved the toile border!

Pam also brought a beautiful tulip quilt made with 30’s fabrics. The pattern came from a Mary Hickey book.

Second Saturday Sampler - Part 2

It was a cloudy, windy day for our December 2^nd Saturday Sampler, but Susan’s contemporary quilt just lit up the parking lot! Bright and sunny…

 

Janette was so happy with the quilt top she received from her Bee group’s Round Robin project. Janette made the center block and her friends completed successive rounds.
