Saturday Sampler 2007: Better By The Dozen
Looking for Saturday Sampler 2006?
Welcome to Saturday Sampler 2007. We are very excited to
present this new sampler quilt to you for your 2007 block of the
month quilt project. You loved the unique and beautiful quilt
while it hung in the shop this year and beginning in January
2007, we'll work on this quilt together, block by block, sewing
and piecing together over 12 months. Using RJR fabrics from
a new Jinny Beyer collection, the fabrics will be in her signature
jewel tones, pairing with black, white, grey and fuchsia.
Please read more about Jinny Beyer below.
If you are a beginner or first time quilter, please consider
making just the 12 blocks in the book and let us
provide you with a very easy setting using sashing
to complete a simple lap quilt.
Here's how the Saturday Sampler works:
- Begin by purchasing the book at Gathering
Fabric Quilt Shop. Save your receipt for proof
of purchase.
- Spend some time with the book to learn
about the blocks, block frames and quilt settings.
Read the introduction for inspiration and
the section on quilt making basics for review.
We will be doing the No Way Out quilt on
page 69, which is also pictured on the back
cover of the book. It also appears on our website.
The name is not intended to intimidate you,
you'll see why as we piece along.
- The 12 monthly-jeweled quilt blocks are free. Double up on
the blocks you especially like to make 18 in all for the original
setting by gathering fat quarters in the jeweled palette. You will
need to purchase the fabric kit for the 17 alternating blocks in
black, white and grey, ahead of time in January while fabric is
available, or you may choose to use your own fabric here if you
wish. The quilt shop will stay stocked in RJR fabrics from Jinny
Beyer for the rich jewel tones she offers in her collections.
- Based on your setting choice, you may choose to make
additional blocks each month. At the end of year, your quilt
will be ready to be assembled quickly. The blocks are not difficult
and the alternating blocks are fast and easy chain blocks.
We will concentrate on the border blocks and pieces during
summer 2007. Borders, backing, binding and
alternating blocks are not included in the free
sampler kits. We will, however, have ample
supply of the fabrics chosen for this quilt from
the Jinny Beyer collection.
- Get ready to make this beautiful quilt beginning
in January 2007. We hope you will join us
for the journey learning new blocks and skills.
"Create quilts with fascinating block frames.
They'll take your designs from ordinary to
extraordinary."
Thanks to: Sue's Rags Quilt Shop in Federal
Way, Washington for the quilts and inspiration
for this project.
Thanks also to Rhoda and Donna at Martingale
& Company for the idea for this sampler quilt and for loaning
us the quilt during the summer.
We invite you to take a moment to explore the rich and colorful
world of Jinny Beyer by visiting her website and viewing
the incredibly rich jeweled palette featured on her web pages.

for this Saturday sampler quilt.
