I have read all of the Elm Creek books and have the samplers on my 'to do' list. Thank you for organizing the sampler block show!
Thank you so much for your generous comments ! The ribbon was given when I entered the quilt in the National Quilt Championships at Sandown Park here in the UK in 2017 and came first in the Sampler Quilt Challenge. I was absolutely thrilled to bits !!
Maybe once you have moved and settled you might feel able to join us.
Yes the Elm Creek books are really nice and I am reading the Circle of Quilters - which Harriet's Journey is based on.
I have also made the Dear Jane Sampler quilt - and several smaller quilts - sewing has got me through this awful pandemic !
Thank you again.
