Happy New Year! If you're joining the Schoolgirl Sampler Sew Along, you'll find all of the block patterns in my Schoolgirl Sampler book.
Week one (January 1) - Make blocks 1 through 6 on pages 40 - 42 of the Schoolgirl Sampler book. Have fun!
(Blocks made by Sue Bennett)
If you're making the quilt as shown in the book, there are 92 half-square triangle blocks used in the sawtooth border. If you have time, make a few of these each week or whenever you can. It will make it a little easier to have some finished when you put the borders on the quilt.
If you're interested in sewing along with new friends, join my Facebook Schoolgirl Sampler group. Each week I will also list the blocks we'll be making for that week on my website Sampler page.
Oh! Wait - There's another new project for 2021! Join me in making the 2021 Mystery Quilt in my Facebook Small Quilt Lovers group. It's simple, fast and easy (and scrappy!). We'll make a few blocks each month and finish up in April or May. This month, make some half-square-triangle blocks. The monthly patterns will be posted in the Facebook small quilt group files and also on my website on the Mystery Quilt page. If this doesn't keep you busy and distracted this year, I don't know what will . . . .
My best to all of you in 2021. New year, fresh start, new quilting adventures.
Stay safe and healthy. Be kind; be grateful.
Take time for yourself and enjoy the journey!

Loving the small blocks! I’m cutting squares for the HSTs as I cut my blocks - definitely will make that border go faster!!
Happy New Year! I'm so glad to have got your book. I'm really enjoying it and am looking forward to starting the blocks. Picked out my fabrics from my stash and hope to start soon. Thanks for the tip on making the HST's.
Kathleen: I use to go to Groups IO/Small quilt lovers. I could see comments/pictures etc. I do see what is happening via Facebook. What do I need to do to see photos/messages? Thanks Liz Brown
