Well, this sheet has a long history. I started a sampler quilt with an online group: Learning Fabric Arts. Shirley our group leader decided to start a learning group, free of charge, to help others learn more about the world of quilting.
She taught us a sampler quilt with several block patterns. I decided to make my blocks all in Christmas material. I love anything Christmas, Winter, Cold, Snowy, Blowy...etc.......I completed several blocks while the group was working on a monthly basis....but I hit a snag, and put the blocks, patterns, and all I had collected in plastic sheets and inside a large binder it stayed for many years. I believe I started in 2004 (but will certainly check this date) and today (Nov 7 2014) rediscovered the binder and the pages, blocks, etc sitting quietly on a shelf waiting a turn to come back out into the light.
I am now going to complete a block a month until I have caught up with this.

Sampler #2: Enter 2013 and a group close to home called Brigden COUNTRY QUILTERS. The group leader (also the founder of this group) Kathy Scott gathered all interested in doing this quilt to start. I am still a fairly new quilter, although I have started many projects, actually finished a few, but have many more to complete....(Enter More PIP.....projects-in-progress as Lou calls them). I have been working with a friend here, Val Johnson in Watford, and she has been helping me with all the pattern pages to explain different techniques, how to sew the pieces into blocks, and to advise me what size each piece needs to be measured as I proceed so that I get the block to finish at the required block size.
October 2014 I seriously started working on this project....only a year to the month after we started it. So far doing great. in October 2014, I finished October 2013 block.
With Val's help, watch me ace this project....one block a month is my goal. So on to November 2013 block in November 2014.
