Natalie, over at natalie-ever-after.blogspot.com and I are going to be hosting a sampler QAL over the next six months with several of our AMAZING quilting friends!
A while back, our friend April found this old quilting book at a yard sale. She thought it would make a fun project to update into more modern fabrics and colors. We TOTALLY agree!
So, you may be asking yourself, how can you join us in all of this 2015 Sampler fun??? Well, here is how!
First off, get a copy of the book, Teach Yourself Blocks from the Past by Marie Henry. It is available from many online stores. The publisher is working on getting a PDF version of this book available soon. We will post the link as soon as it is ready :)
Next, you just need to follow the schedule below! These amazing quilters will share their secrets and tips for putting these blocks together in their favorite way.
