I think I might..I repeat, MIGHT just catch up with my fellow Splendettes on my Splendid Sampler. Well, probably not, but I WILL finish! It is kind of sad seeing this QAL ebbing to a close. Just a few more weeks. Wow! What a year!
I am happy with the last few days progress. I have finished nine more blocks. Yea!
Here are the blocks I completed:
Bee Happy – This was by far the hardest block I have done out of all of the blocks. Some how I even managed to have my bee face the wrong direction! My English paper piecing was awkward and a bit wonky. I don’t care though. I am just glad I could do it at all.
Look at those teeny tiny stitches! A few of the pieces were only about 1/2″ total size. That made for quite a bit of fabric bulk at the points. 
All in all I still like it. I don’t think I will be doing any odd shaped, teeny EPP in the near future though!
Hearts and Flowers— I really love this block. If I have learned any one thing through this Splendid journey, it is that I love embroidery blocks.
I find it so relaxing to sit in the evenings with a needle and thread and make a beautiful flower or two.
It is a pleasure. I am looking forward to getting back to my other embroidered quilt project Salem Quilt Guild.
The rest of these blocks were fairly simple and quick to sew up.
Starting Point-
Summer’s Gift-
Homeward Bound-
The Icing on the Cake-
Rising Star-
Bows-
First Stitch-
I am excited to see these SWEET blocks all come together. I think I have even decided on a setting for them. We shall see…
Thank you for stopping by!
It's a T-Sweets day! 
It’s going to be amazing when it’s all put together, Tracy!! My fave has to be that embroidered heart block, though. I’ve had a resurfacing of my interest in embroidery, so that one really grabbed me. 🙂

Wow! You’ve really been busy! My bee turned out really, really bad! I picked the wrong fabric, I tried to cheat and machine sew Y seams which totally didn’t work. Your blocks look awesome!

Thank you:). The bee block was even harder than the paper pieced dress block! I’m so glad I have splendette sisters like you who know what I’m talking about:)

I didn’t even try to paper piece that one. I just cut very small squares and rectangles and sewed them like a normal block. This Sampler has really stretched my quilting edges to be sure!

Me too! I would never have tried some of this stuff if it weren’t for the Sampler.

Your blocks are great, and you’re catching up. I’ll have to go back and see if I have hearts and flowers. Mostly I’ve only downloaded the stitchery ones. I don’t remember that one, though. Yours looks really nice.
