Mrs Beasley's Sampler Quilt fabrics

Vignette Magazine arrived in Holland last week, and I immediately caved when I saw block 1 of Mrs Beasley's Sampler Quilt.

I raided my stash, and paid a quick visit to my favourite quilt store to add a few FQ's to the collection. More will be added as I go along.

I spent all evening yesterday cutting all my pieces and pinning them to a scan/print of the pattern. Now I need to choose my threads :o)

Is anyone else working on this project?

Hello and My Start

Hello,

My name is Anne Marieke, I'm from the Netherlands, 46 years old, a translator, living with my partner Marcel and our four cats Elvis, Minty, Kruimel (meaning 'crumb' in Dutch) and Luna ('moon' in Spanish).

I fell in love with this project as soon as I laid my eyes on it. I guess I got to it rather late, but it is never too late to start!

These are some of the materials I have chosen on top of what I will be using from my stash.


There is not yet a lot to see, but those stitching this project will know that the stitcheries are quite time-consuming, but so much fun to stitch!

Only a small part of the border for block 1 got done so far, but now that I have chosen my colours (it took me forever to find the right greens to go with my fabrics) it will go a bit faster.


Looking forward to seeing your progress!

Thank you, Perri, for letting me join in the fun.

Finally a Beginning!

I received these from Patchwork with Gail B in Victoria, Australia
And this from the lovely Melissa and Leslie from Inbetween Stitches in CA

Made sure I read all the instructions first
And finally got started on block one, which I have now traced and am in the process of working on the stitching. I have not yet completed the shoofly blocks but will work on them next. More details will probably be posted on my blog a bit later today!

I am so very excited to finally have started!
