Here
it is – The Patchsmith’s Sampler Quilt Blocks - a book chock full of fifty fun
6” block patterns. The book is available in paperback format from Amazon. BUT ..... this is so much more
than a book – it is a year of fabric fun with me, the Patchsmith.
Just a selection of The Patchsmith's Sampler blocks |
Each
week I will be focussing on one block from the book (yep – I shall start at
Block 1 and work through them in order).
There are forty-three patchwork blocks and seven applique blocks – so
something for everything.
Some
of the blocks are really easy (such as Block 32 – 'Chunky Log Cabin').
Block 32 - Chunky Log Cabin |
Whilst others, such as Block 43 - 'Chain Link' are a little more tricky. But don’t worry – I will be here to help you with hints and tips every week from 4th March throughout 2018.
Block 43 - Chain Link |
(If you can’t sew along with me you can still access the hints and tips for the blocks by clicking on the ‘Patchsmith Sampler Blocks’ tab at the top of this page but they will only appear as I sew each block so check back regularly.)
This
is a great book for honing your patchwork and applique skills – and the really
good news is you can use whatever fabrics you have to hand – after all elephants
don’t have to be grey – who wouldn’t love a ‘pink elephant’ or two?
Block 37 - Elephant |
So what
are you waiting for – The Patchsmith’s Sampler Quilt Blocks pattern book is available now via Amazon
Block 1 - Brick Wall |
We begin the sew-along on the 5th March with a great filler block - Brick Wall.
Sew you then ......
Sew you then ......
What a fabulous booklet! Happy stitching! Christine x
