May Saturday Sampler

 

 

 Happy May!  Here are the Saturday Blocks for this month. First, the Silhouettes Gone Wild. 

 Next, the pieced blocks in the two different color ways . . .

and lastly, the HooDa and Company block.  Enjoy your stitching and we look forward to seeing you soon!

March Saturday Sampler

Hard to believe it is the second Saturday in March of 2015!  The older we get . . . the faster time flies!

Here is the Silhouettes Gone Wild block,

the pieced block in the blues and browns . . . so gorgeous. 

The pieced block in the aqua, citron, and gray. . . 

And HooDa and Company.   The flowers in the lower right corner are an embellishment on the table runner and not part of the block of the month kit. 

We also had a wonderful Humanitarian Project  opportunity presented by Janice Barnes.  She is a member of the Bridger Valley Quilt Guild and is starting a chapter of "Days For Girls" in our valley.  The chapter will make sanitary kits for girls living in third world countries.  We will inform you when there are "sew" days for the chapter, and you can check at Valley Fabric Shop for opportunities to donate supplies, time and talent to this great effort.  Thanks Janice for reminding us of how lucky we are to live in this great country!

February Saturday Sampler

Hi friends!  Here are the blocks for February.  The colors are so gorgeous and rich, hard to do them justice with a computer photo. 

The pieced blocks will finish at 12".  Here are the browns, taupes, grays and blues . . . .

And the teal and citron.

We are loving "HooDa and Company", a fiesty owl and her friends.  These blocks will finish at 9".

If you are a lover of the outdoors, you'll enjoy the  rich colors and "earthy" feel of "Silhouettes 

Gone Wild". These blocks will finish at 9"

A Change in the Pattern

Hi Saturday Sampler ladies,

We need to make you aware of a mistake on the Silhouettes Gone Wild Pattern.  The sky portion needs to be reversed and then trace it onto your fusible web.
Also, if you picked up your block between January 10 and 21, you need to call the shop and ask for a new copy of the pattern, as the sky portion is short.  The correction was made on all patterns given out after Jan. 21.

I (Geralyn) have learned some valuable lessons:

#1 - All scanners are not equal.  If the scanner is a bit older, it may distort drawings.

#2 - It is not wise to combine flu, hospital, and designing patterns. 

Apologies go to all making this block and the inconvenience it may cause.  However, it is going to be a GREAT QUILT and you will love it!  Thanks for hanging in there.... I (and everyone at Valley Fabric Shop) appreciate you!

Hope to see you soon!

Trying Again

 We will try again to post the Saturday Sampler blocks for those who were unable to access the photos.  Bottom line. . . we are quilters, not techies!

The Silhouettes Gone Wild applique block, will finish at 9".  Yours will be cut 9 1/2" x 9 1/2".

HooDa and Company, also finished at 9", cut block 9 1/2" x 9 1/2".  Isn't she "owldorable"?

The aqua/gray color way of the pieced block.  It will measure 12" square when finished.

The blue/brown color way of the pieced block.  Very masculine!  Our picture is kind of wonky. . . it is just like the other pieced block, we just changed placement of the 4-patch units.  You get to choose the assembly you like. 

November and December Saturday Sampler

Here are the November blocks, sorry about the late posting.  Life just happens sometimes!

The red pieced block . . . 

The black pieced block for November.

And the pink/brown boot block. . . .

The red/brown boot block.  

And then for December . . . 

The  boots . . . 

We also have our blocks put together in a couple of different patterns.  They are stunning, come in and take a look.  We have patterns for the red and cream quilt, you can use both the embroidered blocks and the pieced.  You may also use just one set, though you will need to make a few extra blocks. Kits and free patterns are available.

We are working on a pattern for the black and white, let us know if you are interested in those instructions.

Have a very Merry Christmas.  We hope to see you when we start again the 2nd Saturday in January.!

October Saturday Sampler

Howdy from two of our favorite quilters!  They joined in the fun and came to our Saturday Sampler Boot Celebration in fine cowgirl style.  Thanks girls for sharing your enthusiasm. 

Here is the pieced block for October.  It features gorgeous reds . . . 

or dramatic black and whites.

The boot block adds another charming design to the quilt.  Here it is in the pink color way . . . 

. . . and the brown color way.  

And TAH DAH!!!! the boot quilts are finished.  They are gorgeous and come on in "fer a gander" if you haven't seen them yet.  Kits are available for each style.  We used a splendid barbed wire trim and even a little burlap trim. . . both washable.  The brown quilt measures about 64" x 75".  

The pink quilt, about 69" x 79",  has star corner posts, giving it a bit of a different look.  We also like the appliqued flower.  It is soooo worth a trip into the store to see the quilts and the displays . . . including matching pillows, table toppers, and bags to name a few things.  So darn' excitin'!
