Happy summer! I have been absent from blogging for a couple of months. I haven't done much sewing...a few odds and ends but nothing I care to blog about. And summer has been fantastic here in the Northwest. Clear blue skies and more clear blue skies. That calls for lots of outside relaxing.
I'm excited about a new project I'm starting. One of my favorite blogs to read is Stitched in Color by Rachel Hauser. I have taken two of her online classes - Curves and Handstitched - and totally enjoyed them. She is a really good teacher. Her current class is called Penny Sampler. The main focus is a wonderful Scandinavian inspired sampler quilt that Rachel designed. She is going to cover machine applique, paper piecing and precision piecing during the months of this class. While I already know those three skills I am still taking the class because I LOVE the quilt. :)
That deer fabric in the lower right hand side (Timber and Leaf by Sarah Watts for Blend Fabrics) was my focus fabric for pulling prints and some solids for the sampler. Some I'm not 100% sure of....may use a tiny amount or may leave out altogether. I love this stage of starting a quilt. Class starts tomorrow and I can't wait to get started!

Your palette of fabrics is beautiful! I can't wait to watch your progress. It is a wonderful quilt.
Very lovely colors and fabrics for this sampler. Looking forward to seeing it come to life ... :) Pat
I love those colors and what the heck were you drinking, it looks lovely too! So glad we've had a great summer, it was about time.
Lovely colurs - do you know what the name of the white fabric - top RHS with feathers/leaves on is called.
