I don’t think I’ve mentioned it here, but one thing I really love is a good sampler containing the alphabet. And I rend not to mention it because traditional alphabet samplers are generally needlepoint or cross-stitch, not quilts at all.
Thankfully, there are quilters who want to change all that. First up: one of the many projects to be found at Orange Flower’s lovely patterns and tutorials blog.
Don’t you love this??? The size is just perfect, and there are so many possible variation to match any decor: boy/girl, adult/child, home/school/office, Christmas/Easter, fall/spring.
This would look great in redwork. Or blackwork. Imagine blackwork on colored linen! Or framed instead of bound, if that’s your thing….
Okay, at this point, I’m pretty much just taking up your time. And you need your time to make alphabet samplers. Find out how here.
