Shipshewana Amish Sampler quilt-along - DONE!

Back in 2013 I was invited to a quilt along making the Shoshewana Amish Sampler quilt (designed by Gay Bomers of Sentimental Stitches). I kept up with the blocks and got it into a top, but then it languished, as so many tops do. After getting my Bernina 830 earlier this year, I vowed to get some tops into quilts. This one is the first of the larger quilts, even though it is only 56" x 67", working up.




Hopefully you can see some of the quilting, this was definitely a learning experience quilt, tried out lots of new ideas.

Sentimental Stitches' Shipshewana Amish Mystery quilt - quilt along

A few years back Gay from Sentimental Stitches did a mystery quilt. I saved all of the patterns, and am now finally working on it along with a group of other quilters. Here is what we have done so far:







The original blocks were all in solids. I have been saving Jennifer Sampou's Victorian Wheeling collection for quite a few years, it has finally found its quilt!
