Splendid Sampler Blocks 26, 27, 29 & 30

Block 26 - Dreaming of Dresdens.  I haven't made a dresden block in years.  This was fun.

Block 27 - Sewing Machine

Back to raw edge appliqué for this one. 

Block 29 - Happy Scrappy Heart

This one was paper pieced.  I'd like to say its a good way to use up scraps but since you waste so much with paper piecing I don't think its really true.  :)

Block 30 - Simple Surprises

Splendid Sampler Blocks 11 & 28

I was out of town for a little bit and 3 blocks were released - all applique.  I'm not fast with applique so those are going to take a while to get done. 

 In the mean time I did finally finish block 11.

Block 11 - Crocheted Thoughts.  

The original design had a crochet hook and thread that wound around the block but I like the simplicity of just the center.   

Block 28 - Stitching Fashion.

This one also had a spool of thread, needle and thread.  I chose to do just the dress.  The yellow trim fabric doesn't show up too well in the photo, hummm.  I have a different plan for the spool and needle. 

This is one of my favorite blocks so far.  I really love it.

If you are on Instagram check out the #thesplendidsampler hashtag. So many beautiful blocks being made.

Splendid Sampler Blocks 20 - 24

I'm all caught up now. At least till Sunday.  :)

 Block 20 - Natures Walk.

This one was suppose to be all embroidery in the middle but I knew I'd never finish that much handwork so opted for a floral print.  I did stitch one of the butterflies from the original design.

Block 21 - Sweet Candy

A nice easy one!

Block 22 - Goose on the Loose

Block 23 - Hand in Hand

This one had interesting construction for those long pointed bits.  They are 3 dimensional! 

Block 24 - Inspector Sidekick

Looking forward to what's next.
