Today is the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of The Splendid Sampler– WOW! That’s hard to believe! I’m doing a Giveaway to celebrate…. keep reading…
One year ago today, the first block for The Splendid Sampler was released. It was February 14, 2016 that this perfectly themed block was released:
I designed 2 blocks for The Splendid Sampler, a bonus block called Summer Flip Floppin’:
and a block called Little Things:
I showed you how to make a mug rug with this block in this blog post.
Since today is Valentine’s Day, I thought it would be fun to play with making this block into a Valentine’s Day block and mug rug- so cute! Just use pink and red fabrics, and do a simple heart applique instead of the tea cup:
If you make 4 of the blocks (6″ each), you will end up with a 12″ block like this:
The Little Things block will appear in the soon-to-be-released Splendid Sampler book.
***Please note that in a short time, the block patterns will NO LONGER be available for free on The Splendid Sampler website. Get all the details here.
To celebrate this One Year Milestone, there is a blog hop and giveaways! I am giving away a quilt-related mystery novel and a box of fabric remnants! My daughter is between jobs for a couple of weeks, so I’ve had her here cleaning out the fabric stash and studio. I threw a bunch of stuff into a box- these are remnants and strike-off’s from 2 of my fabric lines from a few years ago. (“Strike-offs” are “test” fabrics which come to us from the mill when we are playing with the colors to get them just right.)

I love your blog and my favorite is piecing. You are so talented.
My favorite is piecing. Love the blog.
I really enjoy your blog.
I started out liking piecing best,but now it’s a toss up between applique and embroidery. I applique by machine and do my embroidery at night watching TV. I guess I just like them all.
Love these blocks! Nice variety of piecing and applique. So fun to choose fabrics for blocks!
I love applique and paper piecing :). Thanks for the give away.
My go to method is piecing, but there isn’t anything I don’t like and appreciate.
I like picking out the fabric and learning new techniques. Cute winter fabrics. 24Tangent@gmail.com
I love applique and paper piecing…and anything with embroidery sends me over the moon! LOL!
Thank you for you contribution to the SS…what fun!
Would love to play with your remnant test fabrics! My favorite technique is piecing. I enjoy it so much and can’t see to get enough of it!
I have always liked applique. But now I really love hand embroidery as well.
I enjoyed the variety of technique and styles. I’ll admit that my quilt is still a work in progress. Thanks for the chance to win.
I’m enjoying paper piecing right now. Love the cute heart design!
I love all quilting, but I think applique wins my heart.
I love appliqué the best, any type. Love handwork the most!
I go through phases – but most recently I’ve really been enjoying paper piecing. But I also love doing handwork in the evenings – I love your embroidery patterns. Thanks for your awesome blog!

I love hand piecing, paper piecing or appliqué, it doesn’t matter.
I really enjoy just piecing. I have done embroidery,applique and even sampled paper piecing, but for relaxing at my machine, nothing beats just piecing.
I love everything about quilting so far! Applique would be my first choice, I like how it makes the whole quilt pop!
I love piecing the best but I am enjoying appliqué as well, the appliqué changes the entire look. Thank you for your lovely projects.
I loved your blocks so cute and fun.
It was so much fun to see the personal touches on the flip flop pattern.
I had seahorses on mine left by the waters edge
My favorite is piecing, however, the splendid sampler has introduced me to many other techniques.. that I know now that I CAN do!! My new interest is paper piecing….
I enjoyed making Simple surprises, I think the surprise was that is was so simple and yet quite dramatic. I can see a whole quilt in this design(in bigger blocks though) 8-)
oops wrong blog, forgot to close the tab.
Applique using the fusible paper is my favorite !
I used it to make curtains with apples once and loved the effect !
Linda
I loved chatting with women from all over the world and seeing the same block done a 100 different ways.
My favorite technique is to take my time and try new things and the SS was just the right project to do that. I am more confident now to choose fabrics, color, value, a little applique, and paper piecing projects. I also love interacting with all the quilters from around the world…a rich and enjoyable journey. Thanks Jacquelynne for the giveaway and for your two precious block designs. Sew adorable!
I love embroidery!
My fav is applique and my second fav is embroidery and my third fav is finishing pieces someone else started and gave up on. Put me in the drawing please. I love the materials you use.
love your flip flops. my favorite type of quilting is PP
quilting dash lady at Comcast dot net
Love to just look and feel the fabric and than sew
Piecing is my favorite. It’s in my DNA.;-)
boillatjm@gmail.com
I love applique, by hand or machine. I grew up doing hand embroidery and applique. Applique to me is relaxing and fun. I am always in such a hurry to see how it will look when finished.
I’m just an old fashioned piecer, who is learning embroidery! Thanks for the great giveaway.
I love all techniques but I think English paper pricing is my favorite!
I loved the embroidered blocks most but traditional pieced blocks are a close second :) Thanks for the free “mug rug” pattern :)
my favorite was learning new techniques such as hand embroidery!
I LOVE applique so I really enjoyed doing these blocks. Thank you Jacquelynne for the giveaway.
I love embroidery.
I enjoy piecing or patchwork, the most.
I”ve always loved paper piecing, but don’t use it as often as regular piecing. I actually did TWO Blocks with hand piecing !! Loved your block designs in this Splendid Journey. Thank you for the giveaway…hope I get lucky and get some of your awesome fabric!
Piecing has always been my favorite technique and remains so, but I sure enjoyed all the techniques we’ve used this year.
Piecing is quick and how i first learned about quilting. Applique is new to me and though it has been frustrating on a few projects, it has now looked really great since i got a new sewing machine! :) :)
I love paper piecing! And I’m glad I learned so many applique techniques!
I love all of them but I love the applique block the very best. Good luck everyone! angielovesgary2@ gmaildotcom
I like piecing the best, followed by applique.
I love doing hand applique.
My favorite technique is piecing and hand embroidery.
Oh my, didn’t know anything about paper piecing til the Splendid Sampler came along. Absolutely love the results. New favorite technique!
I love the whole process of creating, but the best is finally seeing what I saw in my mind become an actual product.
Piecing, especially for scrappy quilts is my favorite, though I’m learning to enjoy applique more, with the lovely blocks from the Splendid Sampler. Thanks for the giveaway!
Honestly I like piecing the best but I love embroidery.
Foundation paper piecing has become my new love!
Piecing is my favorite but I do also really enjoy machine applique.
Needle turn applique is my favorite. I’m looking forward to learning new techniques from the Splendid Sampler book.
It more depends on the day and my mood. Sometimes i love paper piecing and other times i want to just do embroidery. I cant choose….which is why Love your patterns so much…because i dont have to! ??
I enjoy piecing, embroidery, and applique, not paper piecing.
I am busy sewing my blocks and love seeing how all the colors play together. It truly has been a journey and the end result not what I originally envisioned but so much more. My piecing skills improved and my applique. Learned paper piecing.
I never did applique before, and now that I tried it, I think I like it!
I learned to love paper piecing. It had been such a challenge for me in the past.

My favorite is appliqué. This has been some journey and loved every minute.
I love foundation paper piecing.
I love appliqué! I have enjoyed it for many years and now it is even more fun with the new machines that make it even easier.
I truly enjoyed traveling all over the world, reading about each designer.. .their tips, challenges they over come and sharing a bit about their lives. Inspiration came from so many avenues and challenges were accepted many times over! I’ve learned a lot in my skills and enjoyed trying new methods and techniques, with applique being one of my favorite sewing techniques, I was in heaven when those blocks were released. I must confess, most of the blocks I have finished are the applique blocks! HEHEEHhhe! ~ quiltlovefordomesticfelicity(at)gmail(dot)com
I enjoy machine piecing the most. I did find that I am liking embroidery too.
Paper piecing was new to me. I liked it.
My favorite technique is hand applique. thank you for this give away.
Since I struggle with getting my seams exactly right, I enjoy paper piecing. It makes the blocks so much more precise!
Love, loved the journey. I am no longer intimidated by PP or Applique blocks. What a great idea to do this as a great big Quilt a long. The other quilters inspired me in so many ways. I also learned the importance of color placement. So glad I participated. I have 108 blocks now ready to put into multiple tops.
Learning to paper piece, has been a struggle and a good learning experience
my favorite technique is paper piecing, when the pieces are that small it helps me stay accurate.
My favorite blocks were the paper pieced ones! Thanks for your block with the cute cup!
I have yet to figure out which of the techniques is my favorite as I have yet to finish trying all of them at this point, but so far my favorite thing about this has been the learning process.
Piecing is probably my favorite due to learning all kinds of quick techniques but I enjoy learning all the different ways and hope to be able soon to actually start my splendid sampler blocks
My favorite technique is applique. Love the quietness of the hand sewing.
Mixing and matching fabric is one of my favorite pasttimes before I work on a new project. Then comes the fun part of cutting, piecing and watching it all come together. One of my new loves is applique. I love how it adds dimension to a quilt top.
I love piecing, but am very interested in learning how to embroider and to do more applique as well. Love your projects!
I loved the variety of the blocks everyone created. Personally I prefer piecing blocks unless I’m traveling & then I like to do embroidery.
What a fun giveaway! To possibly get someone else’s scraps to make a quilt with.
I love to go through piles of fabrics. Thanks for the giveaway.
Mariyn
This has been a journey for me!! It started out fast and then slowed down somewhere near the middle….I am still working on this and I have loved every minute of it. The English Paper Piecing was new for me…and quite a challenge for my mildly arthritic fingers. I was also reintroduced to foundation paper piecing, and I loved it as much as I remembered. The thing that really was fun, though, was returning to embroidery!! My mother taught me to embroider when I was a little girl….probably about 7-8 years old. It was so fun doing the blocks as they brought back precious memories for me. Sadly, I lost my Mom in September two days before what would have been her 92nd birthday. So, now I am in catch-up mode….and enjoying every minute!! Thanks for this wonderful experience!! Its been a hoot!! :) <3 fncsteach@msn.com
I enjoy choosing a fabric for the project I start. Thank you for the opportunity to win this great giveaway.
Joan
I am new to quilting and love every aspect that I have tried so far. The feeling of accomplishment is my favorite part of quilting.
We have a group of about 10 that meet at 8:00am every Wed.to show our progress on the 2 weekly block. (We all were happy for the Christmas break LOL) We fondly embrace our friendships as the Splendettes. How excited we were to see how differently we did each block. Loved all the techniques.
I love sampler blocks because they show so many beautiful things all together. Many of my friends do not quilt or embroidery so I love showing them things like this and encouraging them to try. I love it all, quilting and embroidery make my heart sing and bring peace to my soul!
Choosing a fabric for a project is exciting. Going through the various fabrics is a joy and so much fun. Thank you for the giveaway.
Marion
Love piecing and embroidery. Thanks for the giveaway.
wagnerja47@gmail.com
Love any kind of quilting. Looking forward to getting the rest of
the blocks printed.
I love everything about quilting, finally got to love also paper piecing.
I enjoy applique, piecing and embroidery. Also trying to learn paper piecing. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love fusible applique.
I loved being part of a like minded community.
I enjoy them all but really like paper piecing because as I get older I have more trouble with that pesky scant 1/4″ seam.
I just recently found out about the Splendid Sampler blocks and immediately downloaded the patterns. They look like a lot of fun. I will be starting them soon.
Love to applique, you can never have enough fabric for this process. Love your work. . Thank you
Since I’m a beginner, I love everything. Haven’t yet narrowed down a favorite technique. Just live watching all the colors (and hopefully points) coming together to form something new.
I enjoy the embroidery and the applique. When I was a child I embroidered pillowcases and dresser scarfs for Christmas gifts each year.
I am pretty much torn between piecing and paper piecing. I haven’t had a chance to try applique; I like to embroider, but haven’t yet done it for a quilt.
piecing and embroidery are my favorite techniques. love creating something new, especially if it is a gift for someone else.
I like all of the techniques but since it do piecing more often, I suppose it’s my default favorite. Helps show so many beautiful fabrics. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love piecing, I’m trying to master embroidery, because I love the look of it. Love your emails and your work is beautiful. Patschick@comcast.net Also, love the club!!
I Love to piece and also have been trying my hand at paper piecing so far I have found it interesting.
I love Applique of all sorts, needleturn, raw edge, machine applique etc….Love everything you do. Thank you for your blocks in the Splendid Sampler
My most favorite thing is feeling the texture of the fabrics. The softness and weave,There is a difference. I then love to follow that up with applique and embroidery. Just started paper piecing so I am not up to speed.
I really enjoy needle turn applique, but have recently started to learn paper piecing and am falling in love with this technique as well.
I’m just starting to quilt so I don’t have a favorite technique yet. The fabric you are giving away would definitely help me get started. lynnmerrow@yahoo.com
Beautiful blocks! I prefer the piecing part of quilt making, seeing all the different blocks going together with gorgeous fabrics! Thank you for this opportunity!
I would have to say piecing followed by embroidery. I have never EPP or appliquéd anything but I sure would like to try.
gandjforever@hotmail.com
Piecing is my fabric right now but I have just started dabbling in appliqué which I am enjoying.
Thank you for the giveaway.

I just love paper piecing. Thanks for the giveaway…

Not so sure I have a favorite…what I did like about the Splendid Sampler is the constant variety of techniques and seeing the beauty in each block…some paper pieced blocks were sure tiny…..thanks to all the fabulous designers!
I’m torn between paper piecing and embroidery… This has been a fun adventure1
needle turn applique is my favorite but I also like raw edge

I am a piece maker. All quilt blocks are great
Paper piecing is one of my favorites. Machine applique
is fun too.
I really love doing it all! I think I am better at applique and embroidery but keep on trying different things.
ramona-murrayatcomcastdotnet
Applique and Paper Piecing are my favorites!
Thanks for the beautiful give-away!
Have a great day!
So with ADHD I like to do it all. I do embroidery but my favorite is quilting. I get bored with big projects and do something else for a bit then go back. I am self taught and will do things several times until i can do it properly.
Needleturn applique works for me. But I’m open to everything!
I really enjoyed the variety of blocks and learning new techniques. My favorite was the paper pieced blocks.
This experience with The Quilted Sampler has gotten me back into sewing/quilting and I have learned so much, remembered old standards and so enjoyed learning new things and feeling so improved. I have not finished, but I have all your information on disks and in my files. Thank you!
I like piecing, but for Christmas I did a paper pieced penguin placemat for my a Granddaughter and really enjoyed it! I do embroidery at night while I watch tv! Busy all day!
I love piecing but I have to say paper piecing is my second favorite. Thank you for all your great information
I like fusible applique with machine buttonhole stitching the best. Coming in a close second is piecing, followed by machine embroidery.
My favorite is embroidered blocks with appliqué coming in second place. I have enjoyed doing the Splendid Sampler. I’ve learned so much and had such fun. Thank you for the flip flops and coffee mug blocks.
Piecing is my favorite area – I like fabric and the colors as well. It is a feeling of awe when it looks just like the designer has helped me to have a finished block.
Piecing is my favorite. I so enjoy embroidery as a close second–once I get started!
Just started a class taught by Barbara Black doing the Halo Medallion Quilt by Sue Garman and discovered I LOVE paper piecing. So this is now my favorite technique. I love the precision I get with it.
erdner@bellsouth.net
I think piecing is my favorite.
I am starting to appreciate appliqué the most. And thanks for the opportunity to win.
I really enjoy placing applique and embroidery work into my quilts. I am currently embroidering lyrics into a quilt with appliqued butterflies and morning glories. It is doing these extras that make a project more unique.
I love hand applique, it relaxes me after a long day at work.
The Splendid Sampler gave me lots of opportunity to use two of my favorite techniques, hand embroidery and needle turn applique. I haven’t done all the blocks but I intend to do so eventually. =)
I like all techniques, however I enjoy paper piecing the best. Thank you for doing this awesome give away and for all you do for us!
Definitely piecing and really liking paper piecing lately.
I really love wool applique, but paper piecing comes in a close second. Doing redwork blocks at present. I don’t really think there isn’t any style of quilting I don’t enjoy, except maybe the quilting itself, my mind goes blank as far as a pattern.
I’ve learned so much! I like it all but if I need to pick, I’d say applique is best.
My favorite method is piecing and applique. Thanks for your wonderful website

I enjoy piecing, but when I want a challenge I try a paper piecing project.
I prefer regular ol’ piecing.
I love piecing patchwork and raw-edge applique used together to complete both blocks and quilts. Thanks for having this giveaway.
I love, love, love the applique blocks and the traditionally pieced blocks. My favorite block was the “Summer Flip Floppin’ “!!! I was born and raised in So Cal and it was pretty much flip flop season all year round, and here in the PNW I truly miss that part. Thanks for your joyous contribution to the Splendid Sampler!!!
Seeing each stage come together on the quilt is my favorite. I lean towards piecing, but I get really anxious to see the blocks create the final project.
Embroidery is my very favorite and second would be making quilt blocks. I sometimes combine the two.
I love piecing and embroidery the mostest! Thank you for your site and this giveaway.
Just completed my first paper pieced queen size quilt and I am hooked. My favorite is paper piecing!.

I really enjoyed the embroidery work..lots of fun…
Thank you for opportunity to win such a wonderful giveaway!
I love doing appliqué -it’s my favorite.
My favorite thing about quilting is choosing the fabrics for each block and seeing how the block looks made in different colorways. Some blocks are great to repeat and use for an entire quilt. For the SS I find that some of the embroidered blocks seem too fancy to go with more whimsical blocks, so I will make 2 separate quilts.Fun!
I love appliqué & piecing equally. I also like to do hand embroidery. I have not done paper piecing but it’s on my to do list! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I piece but I want to try paper piecing as there are so many cute blocks to try!
I love quilting, then adding appliqué and the details of embroidery. Fabric, thread , floss – all the same but all unique and beautiful!
Piecing is fun. Applique is fun, too. Kinda depends on my mood at the time.
I enjoy patchwork and paper piecing. Thanks for the giveaway
I love, love paper piecing. I am starting to add some hand embroidery now in some projects. hedgehog52@yahoo.com

Needle turn hand applique is my go to technique. After a long day at the machine piecing or quilting, I like to unwind and relax with a good hand applique pattern.

I love machine piecing. Thanks for the giveaway.
Raroberts55@verizon.net
I’m taking a paper piecing class at the end of March, and I already like doing the other techniques! I especially enjoy hand work, so I guess embroidery would be my favorite.
I signed up for your club so I can learn more about hand embroidery — maybe someday I’ll be able to say it is my favorite technique. In the meantime, I’d say I enjoy applique the most.
Embroidery used to be my favorite, but I found I really like piecing. So for now at least my favorite is paper piecing.
I love appliqué
Paper piecing is my favorite!
I love it all, but piecing remains my favorite.
I love piecing as well as appliqué, I enjoy how the appliqué brings everything together. I also very much love working on your projects they are so cheerful. Thank you
I like to do it all, piecing, paper piecing, applique and embroidery by machine. I do not like to do hand embroidery but I love to machine embroider. I love all of the blocks from Splendid Sampler. What a great sampling of designers and techniques.
I love it all! I only wish there were more hours in the day to do it all!!!
It doesn’t matter to me, I use this as a way of unwinding from my work day. I love to create for my only grand daughter Matilda. Love your patterns, and winning something is always great too
I absolutely love freezer paper appliqué, but I liked every new technique I have learned this year – from paperpiecing to machine appliqué.
I love all your fabrics! I enjoy machine piecing and Appliqué. I do a lot of both and have ventured into thread painting and love it!
I like piecing the best. Your blocks are lovely!

I enjoy do have to say I like to do all. Love maybe more applique, so I can hang them up for my family to enjoy.
Very generous of you to share! Would love to win!
I have tried a lot of different techniques and piecing is probably my favorite.
I love applique.
Paper piecing is my favorite technique!
jonibzb@gmail.com
I like piecing better than appliqué. I like embroidery and embellishing best of all. I long arm quilt and love the freedom that gives me in using creative techniques.
Thank you for providing this freebie and the opportunity to enter.
I LOVE fabric , it puts a instant smile on my face and joy to my heart ! Thanks so much for the giveaway !
My favorite is mixed technics ! I start with some fabric , add some strings and texture and end with embroidery! I see different ideas and put them together! I get excited to just choose the fabric and then quilt and sew . Paper piecing somehow takes my patience but I’m always blown away by the end result . I love handembroidery , I wished time would stand still when I’m doing it . I always have a project ready as power goes out a lot where I live !
I always can’t wait to descover new ways of Sewing and I’m open to everything new to try ! Thank you ❤️?!
I like machine piecing, but the best part is the binding, because than is a finished quilt.
My favorite is piecing but I also love appliqué especially as a compliment to the piecing. Thanks for the drawing. It’s sweet of you to share.
My favorite quilt technique is piecing. I love it. Your teacup block is one of my favs and I’ve made 2 mug rugs and an 8″ block from the pattern. I hope I win your very special fabric stash! I’ll make a mug rug-and who knows what else – from your fabrics!
Appliqué has always been my first love but thru my guild The Melon Patch Quilters I have improved my piecing abilities. Now you with your sweet designs have rekindled my love of embroidery which i used to do a long time ago!
I like piecing; haven’t done much applique’ yet. I need to learn the skill! I love scraps and would put yours to good use!
nikilsend(at)outlook(dot)com
Embroidery is my all time favorite. Nothing better.
I love paper piecing, but enjoy learning other things. Thank you for the drawing.
I love your blog! My favorite part is all in one – finding the perfect pattern with the perfect fabric and piecing it together!
I loved learning new ways to sew the blocks, I think my favorite 2 are fusable appliqué and paper piecing. Thanks for being a part of this journey!
I like to piece the fabric the best. The other techniques are enjoyable too!
Thanks for the fun giveaway. I would love to be the one to sort through your fabric.
Paper piecing-I hadn’t tried it before this but now love it!
I love embroidery, but the fusible applique was fun too! Thanks for the great blocks and the giveaway :)
reeskylr@gmail(dot)com
I like piecing the best. Seeing things come together is great. Thanks for the give a at.
I love piecing and picking out the PERFECT fabric to make my block “just right”! If I could just let it go and pick up pieces to sewing, that would make it too easy—ha! ha!
Thanks for the opportunity to possibly win:)
I like the appliqué blocks. Yours were great
I love the piecing of the quilts.
My favorite is the embroidery but I also enjoy the applique blocks too! It’s been a fun year following this project.
I love applique and paper english paper piecing. Mystery quilts always turn out the best for me.
Paper piecing gives the best results for me on such small blocks.
I’m really into piecing. You use such great color combinations!
My favorite is piecing, but I enjoy embroidery as well.
My favorite technique is machine piecing. My favorite part of the quilting process is choosing fabric or designing a quilt. I’ve loved planning many a quilt that I’ve never set a needle to. Thanks for the generous giveaway. I should start on my sewing room/stash next!
I like all methods of the quilting process but piecing is the most favorite. Especially like string and scrappy piecing as can do endlessly without a lot of thinking. Makes it very relaxing. But then there is the finished quilt after quilting. Whow
Piecing a quilt by machine is my favorite past time. My goal this year is paper piecing, a new technique for me.
It’s a toss up….paper piecing and raw edge appliqué.
I really enjoy applique and embroidery, but I haven’t done much of either lately.
Piecing is my favorite. However, I also like to do applique.
I enjoy all the techniques. It’s hard to choose just one.
I’ve done mostly piecing, so that’s my favorite. But I’m hoping to try more paper piecing, embroidery & appliqueing!! sewsam@yahoo.com
I do like to piece and machine embroidery. Learning to applique and I think I may quickly be addicted !!
I love the embroidery best:)
Thank you for the giveaway!
I love to do all 3! I can’t pick just one because each has an advantage over the others.

I would so very much like to win this. I first learned to sew as a little girl when my grandmother sat me down at her sewing machine and taught me. A semester of sewing in Home Ec (which is what they called it back in the day) renewed my interest in sewing back in the late 60’s, and I made all my clothing until the late 70’s. And then came the very long drought, where for over 35 years, I had no time and no place to sew. And now, retired, I am again sewing and have taken up quilting. Thanks to things I have learned by following your blogs, I have fallen in love with applique, advanced to intermediate patterns and am rediscovering embroidery. Winning this would mean a lot to me. Thank you for the opportunity.
I love the piecing! Seeing the square come together and then the whole top. Thanks for having the giveaway,
Carol R.
I love fondling new fabric as I choose it for a new project. I actually like to piece the quilt. Thanks for the giveawaya

Fun. I prefer piecing, but I do some applique and foundation piecing, when needed.

I love most any technique, but paper piecing is my favorite. Thanks for the giveaway! It’s fun readiding all the comments.
Piecing is my favorite – but I’ve become quite fond of machine appliqué – been doing quite a bit of that lately. Enjoying your blog!
I love the accuracy of paper piecing
Piecing is my favorite. Thanks for a wonderful journey!
Embroidery is my favorite right now, but I’m always open to trying new things.

Definitely piecing. Doing this sampler totally confirmed that. I did enjoy learning new techniques!
Definitely piecing. Doing this sampler totally confirmed that. I did enjoy learning new techniques!
I prematurely posted without my info which may keep me from being chosen in the drawing so here I am again!
I still love piecing, but enjoy learning new techniques every day!
I love to do so many things related to sewing and quilting. Applique. piecing, embroidery. Do you know the icons on the left prevent us from determining what we are to fill in.
Wow 😳 the past year has flown by, although I did fall behind I was able to save those blocks I missed and catch up As time allows; that’s what I love about you, this is your “job” and you can go play all day and no one has anything more important to bother you with because you’re at work!!! Enjoy the ride!!
I started hand sewing my blocks, loved it and have made several complete quilts that way, then I started appliqué,live, and now I’m working on machine piecing, the quilting will come later. Paper piecing I have yet to master but love ❤️ what I have tried!
My favorite is piecing and I trying to like paper piecing. I love you blog. I am also on the east coast in PA
I just took a paper piecing class and loved it! I did not get in on the Splended Sampler this last year, but pre-ordered the book what seems like ages ago! I am waiting to start soon…I did your mug rug in purples and enjoy it every day:) anitabchef@yahoo.com
For now I like piecing the best. I don’t have an embroidery machine and haven’t hand embroidered in years. I do like it though, just was into different hobbies. Never tried paper piecing, but I am very interested in learning! So much to learn in too little time! :) I want to do it all!!!
Thank you for the opportunity! I love all things related to piecing Especially paper piecing! I am getting much more comfortable with the quilting process and have a way to go with binding and applique! But for now my favorite is paper piecing!! So amazing watching the block come together and not losing and points or having any issues with not patching seams! Thank you again!
loved doing these, but am so far behind.
nice way of meeting so many other designers.
hope there will be another one.
I believe my favorite would have to be piecing, but i love foundation also.
I just like everything about quilting. I like finishing a quilt and saying it is mine – every bit of it. I use piecing and machine-applique the most, but I would like to explore paper piecing.
I like them all, but if I had to choose just one, embroidery is probably my favorite technique… like painting with thread.
I just love paper piecing!
I love doing all of them, but I love the accuracy of paper piecing.
Piecing is my favorite with a little bit of applique once in awhile. I want to make a teacup with heart fabric to make a mug rug for my daughter.
I like piecing and embroidery.
My favorite technique is traditional piecing.
Finding new pieced blocks that result in a secondary design is my favorite thing, followed closely by fabric fondling :) Thank you so much for all the inspiration and your generous spirit
i love all methods of piecing. I have done paper piecing a lot lately. I love the crisp results. Thank you for the give away.
My favorite is embroidering and making tote bags. I love all the beautiful designs available. Thanks so much for the give away.
Embroidery is my favorite embellishment, however, I am getting more confident with appliqué and have a couple new appliqué projects going. I love giveaways!
I enjoy your various ways of completing the block, The instructions are great.
I like to combine piecing and embroidery
Paper piecing looks so perfect when done but makes me feel dyslexic while doing.
Embroidery makes great take on the go projects
Piecing takes great concentration and focus and is perfect for times I want to think of nothing but fabric and stitches.
Appliqué makes beautiful come to life quick… I think this is my favor. Yes, appliqué.
I make lots of donation quilts and rely heavily on scraps I can get my hand on so your prize is right up my alley!!
I have enjoyed the Splendid Sampler blocks. They gave me an opportunity to try many new styles of piecing and color combining. I have had lots of “favorites.” …would love the fabrics to continue experimenting.
I am now retired, and just starting to learn and enjoy all of the different quilting techniques.
At this time, no favorite because I love them all….
I enjoy fussy cutting and making I spy quilts for babies.i
Piecing is my favorite. I like applique for small projects like mug rugs or wall hangings.
Piecing in my first love, but the applique and embroidery gives the blocks personality.
I love piecing the most, but applique is a close second. Thanks for all you do……..love your style!
I prefer the accuracy of foundation paper piecing!
My favorite is to piece by hand. I have been wanting to learn applique for a long time though.
I love to applique by hand. Thank you for the give-a-way!
I don’t know that I have a favorite. Incorporating different techniques to finish a creative – one of a kind piece, runs through my blood. I often take one “pattern/method” and claim a ‘ so.. what if I…’ style to it. Mixed media or using Reverse Applique vs. Applique are my go to’s when I want a brake from traditional piecing.
Thank you for the giveaway.
What a great milestone for the Splendid Sampler!
My favorite part of making a quilt is the designing, but once I begin cutting and piecing it soon takes over as my first quilting love. Thank you so much for this giveaway! lindapawlak at verizon dot net.

I like piecing and machine applique the best. I am currently working on a paper pieced project and have had lots of problems.

Thanks for a great adventure learning new skills. I haven’t completed many of the blocks, but I’ve captured them for this year’s project and have really enjoyed looking at all the creativity from the designers to the FB quilters. Inspiring.
Finding the right pattern and then picking out beautiful fabrics, then piecing the top…those are my “favorite” things about quilting. After that, I can easily give it over to someone to finish. lol! Love seeing your fabulous quilts!
I saw this on your newsletter. I cant resist scraps. Thank you for the chance.
Love quilting of all types! Lately preferences have been anything hand work as it is so portable. Thanks for all your inspiration.

I love to do applique. For years I made appliqued childrens clothing and sold them through 3 childrens shops. I just love to cut, fuse and applique. Piecing would be #2 for me.
My favorite technique after doing the Splendid Sampler, is the applique that is hand sewn with either a blanket stitch or other fancy embroidery stitch. I would love to win your giveaway as I am now making dolls and those small pieces of fabric would be just perfect!
I love getting scraps from other people!
Piecing with embroidery added was my favorite to do. Thank you for all the wonderful ideas you gave us….
I’m new to quilting, so right now Piecing is my method of choice. One day I will be brave enough to try paper piecing. :)
I liked block 7 and combined applique with embroidery. In the past few months, I have been looking more at quilts I can embellish with embroidery. Perhaps a crazy quilt is in my future.
I love the planning of my project! Then the shopping!!! Then the piecing and so now….I love it all! sascheidt@gmail.com
I love paper piecing. When everything comes out so beautiful and the points match so wonderfully my heart just sings.
I love appliqué particularly hand appliqué.
I love paper piecing! Those precise points are magic!
I just love all those unusual blocks for The Splendid Sampler. They are terrific!
At this moment I still love applique but, I have to admit, I am falling in love with paper piecing. I was a bit afraid of it when I started this Splendid Sample and now, after doing some FPP blocks the fear is gone and the love has started. Thank-you for this year of fun.
Thank you for your contribution to the Splendid Sampler. I love embroidery but due to stiff hands I rarely do it anymore. I enjoyed doing the embroidery on the small squares. My favorite part though was being introduced to the designers. I LOVE your work and without the Splendid Sampler I never would have heard of you. Thank You!
Right now, my favorite is appliqué! I have never tried paper piecing and often times think that I would enjoy that as well.
I love your energy and pattern making.

Piecing with some embroidery is so special! Makes the blocks pop!
I love embroidery! I have been working on several small projects this year – keep starting new ones as well as finishing some I started (UFO’s). I really enjoy incorporating them into my quilts.
I’ve really enjoyed using the different techniques in the Splendid Sampler. I avoided applique at all costs, but the 6″ blocks were perfect practice!
I enjoy machine applique combined with piecework the most… but I will do any technique if I love the design well enough. No problem here!
I love doing raw edge applique using a satin stitch.
I am sorta a Beginner,, I would like to try new Techniques such as paper Piecing… My Mom and I made just a easy block quilt many years ago for my cousin for a Wedding Gift using Gingham Check fabric and all the colors were on the Diagonal. My Mom and I both did the Hand Quilting on it.. and I made a Baby quilt with 9 patch blocks of Gingham and unbleached Muslin which lasted through all 4 children of a Girl I went to school with.. I do have fabric and Books I have collected not just need some time….
Would love to have your scraps come play with mine. frog2quilt@gmail.com

I love appliqué. What an adventure the splendid sampler was. I have over 100 blocks and still have a few more of them to do. Will probably do 2 smaller quilts.
LOL Piecing and applique….no paper piecing here! (Shudder!) I love your flip flopping block!
quiltnsrep(at)yahoo(dot)com
I love paper piecing – therefore, I love scraps, so winning this giveaway would be great!!!
My favorite technique is piecing because I love when the math works!
I do mostly traditional pieced blocks but am learning applique which is fun and I’ve always liked embroidery ever since my Grandma taught me years ago.
I loved your flip flop block, sew cute.
Well, so far, I think that all I’ve really done is piecing and embroidery. I’m looking forward to trying the paper piecing, but for now my favorite would have to be regular piecing.
I love to hand applique ( and dislike most machine piecing!) Thanks.
I love embroidery combined with pieced blocks!
How did I miss Splendid Sampler. I’ve followed you through three block of the month quilts, purchased embroidery, seen your mini blocks and monthly newsletters. Oh well. I am trying all techniques right now and soon to try these because I can’t seem to make a mug rug aka mini quilt. I can’t cut pretty fabric that small. How do you do it? I tried your Valentine and blocks rug from this past Val Day and still came out too big. Help.
I love them all but especially back basted applique with embroidery.
I’ve enjoyed my new Splendid friends and have come to enjoy hand applique too.
I enjoy piecing. No, applique. No, paper piecing. No, to be honest I love it all. I have collected all 100 blocks – I have yet to start/ But I will!
I am completely new at Quilting. Looking forward to learning the fine art of piecing & making my own quilt.
I loved looking at everyone else’s blocks and seeing how different people used color, and I learned that regular piecing is easier for me than paper piecing.
piecing, definitely basic piecing…. although I am working on a whole quilt of paper piecing, loving the results. still not loving the process…
I love piecing, first and foremost, with blanket stitch appliqué second. And, you quilt blocks containing both is just icing on the cake. Thanks! stargal714 dot com

I have really enjoyed sewing your two blocks for the Splendid Sampler. Going to miss it.
My favorite technique is piecing followed very closely by paper (foundation) piecing.
I have enjoyed all the techniques. Each one has its own challenge. I like the machine sewing ones for home and the embroidery/applique ones to take to work with me. Great selection of blocks.
I love English Paper Piecing & have been surprised with the many ways that technique was incorporated! I have also been trying my hand at machine embroidery with all the options in the Splendid blocks
Only have like 60 blocks done on SS. I love piecing blocks. While doing them I rediscovered that I love to embroider. Had never done applique or paper piecing, or English paper piecing, nor did I realize until then that I could do them all on the same block! How fun is that?!?! I LOVE it ALL!!!
My favorite is applique by machine.
Love your blocks! I enjoy traditional piecing and paper piecing. Thanks for the great giveaway.

I really love piecing. I have, also, found in the process of piecing and thinking about the construction of the block, I am really loving the designing process. But mine is old school with graph paper and coloring pencils. LOL
I love piecing, and especially paper piecing because every block comes out perfectly sized!
I like all techniques in quilting. Love your color choices. Thanks to you and Pat for all your work on the year long sampler. pittypat_0267@ yahoo.com. I loved each one of them….

I love piecing as it was the first quilting technique I learned. Recently having joined a quilting guild I am drawn to applique and paper piecing. Endless possibilities.
I definitely prefer piecing!
My preferred technique is regular piecing but I’m starting to get into paper piecing. I enjoyed the opportunity to practice new skills in bite-sized projects with this splendid sampler.
I prefer piecing with paper piecing being a distant second, embroidery is well down the list!
No doubt paper piecing has become my new favorite technique. I love the crisp points you can achieve. Your fabrics are gorgeous!! I made 4 quilt tops with 25 blocks in each for a total of 100 blocks. I have loved every minute of this journey. My favorite memory is meeting up with both designers and other quilters at a shop in Syracuse during the summer! Thanks Katie cclark4@rochester.rr.com
I’ve always liked paper piecing – now I love it! Your flip flops were in my top 10!
I am new to the blocks but cant wait to start working on them and learning new things

I love paper piecing objects then appliquing them onto background fabric. I love all your appliqué projects. Your work is so sunny and bright, it cheers my day!
I love piecing larger blocks but when the get small I prefer paper piecing for nice crisp results. I ad never done appliqué much but it is growing on me. I have bad arthritis in my hands so embroidery is limited.
Piecing and embroidery is so relaxing. Love quilting!
I like piecing best.
I recently found your blog and have enjoyed it so much. Your designs are delightful. I love piecing and embroidery. I hope someday to do a beautiful crazy quilt with lots of embroidery and embellishments.
I love getting new fabric for a new project. I think I’ve become a fabricholic.
I would love your scraps to play with. I love piecing with applique added to the blocks or borders.
I recently found your blog and have enjoyed it so much. Your designs are delightful. I love piecing and embroidery and I hope someday to do a beautiful crazy quilt with lots of embroidery and embellishments.
I love picking out the fabric for a block even if it’s a BOM where I am given part of the fabric so I get to decide where the fabric gets used. I also love piecing. I found out a long time ago that applique was not my cup of tea.
I recently found your blog and have enjoyed it so much. Your designs are delightful. I love piecing and embroidery and fabric! OOOh – Fabric!
I am enjoying learning to embroider.

Although I play with all of them, embroidery is my first lover followed closely by applique. Thanks for your generosity.
My favorite is paper piecing but I am ready to try my hand at applique.
I’m a brand new quilter. I’m learning piecing. I’ve done hand embroidery since I was tiny, preschool age. Grandmother taught me to keep me from getting underfoot with hand drawn pictures on scraps of old sheets. I love looking at your designs and have a valentine rug mug in process. Mary Partridge
My favorite is piecing especially with scraps. I’ve always told people if I was a Doctor I would have to be a surgeon because I love cutting things up and putting things together differently.
I’m very new to quilting and haven’t yet decided on what I like to do best. Your creativity and instructions have inspired me to do more. I hope I win your sampler box as the materials and items included will help build my stash.
As a teenager, I learned x-stitch embroidery. I’m now 69 and have learned so many things, but I think my favorite is paper piecing. I love all those crisp points. I also love, love, love wool embroidery. There just isn’t time to do it all. Darn!!
New to the quilting scene and haven’t yet decided what technique is my favorite. I love the way paper piecing produces such sharp points but I’m not yet comfortable with it. Have so many projects begun in my head that it will be wonderful to complete a few! Thanks so much for the opportunity to win. :-)
Piecing makes me happy!
I love piecing and trying to use up my scraps (which seem to multiply overnight)! Second would be appliqué.
I like piecing the best. Although I would like to try appliqué and embroidery next!
I like blocks, piecing, embroidery and applique. I love fabrics.
I have been quilting 2 years and I love piecing. I like applique, but I need to try additional methods to determine if I like it more than piecing.
I have become a fan of paper piecing above all. I love the accuracy, once I got the hang of it!Thanks for the giveaway, fun!!!
mimishortycubbins@centurylink.net
I love to piece the traditional way. Although paper piecing gives nice accuracy I hate to deal with the paper!
Learning to machine embroidery so that is fine. Getting the hang of machine applique and I really enjoying that. Since I have been sewing more my piecing is getting better so enjoying that more. Favorite? Don’t really have a favorite right now, just joy of sewing.
I love to paper piece, I love the way the points all come out so perfect.
I love making quilts sewing is my thing.

more embroidery!!

I am just starting to quilt, just finished a queen sized top, any help is appreciated. Love your blog, give me the spark to get started. So far my favorite is just doing different blocks.
It’s like trying to choose who is my favorite child. It would take an act of King Solomon to make that decision. Thanks for all you marvelous ideas and great patterns to say nothing of the inspiration
Piecing is my preferred method but the chance to learn something new is always nice. Thank you for this opportunity.
Definitely working with all the block colors and seeing how the embroidery by hand makes each block pop.
Wonderful site and love the let it go UFO,s.
Applique is my favorite technique
I like the hand embroidery look on blocks – especially your quilt blocks. The combinations are so pretty.
I really like appliqué but for a quicker result, piecing is my first choice.
Hard to pick a favorite cause ai like them all but I guess applique would be first.
I love hand embroidery and applique best in that order. But I am fabric addict…I love to touch it and feel it. lol… I have been loving the splendid sampler emails and patterns. So much.

Applique is my favorite.
Thanks for the chance to win! My favorite is applique and embroidery! I just need more time!!!!! I teach 4th grade!
I love to applique and do some piecing. I have very much enjoyed the Splendid Sampler, always fun to see what is new to sew up! Thanks for the sweet bundle box, would be a joy to win.
Piecing is my favorite, followed by embroidery. I like variety.
My favorite is still piecing, but thanks to you and several other on-line blogs and instructions, I have tackled applique and embroidery, and for that, I thank you. I would sure love to win!
Love your site, and I’m new to piecing,love to think out of the box when it comes mixing different fabrics.
My favorite blocks were ones that had embroidery. I really enjoyed and used your tip along the journey, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I love all aspects of quilting but that last stitch of a project is absolutely wonderful. I get to see what I’ve created!
I think applique (hand) is my favorite. I have also enjoyed improving my piecing skills (which still need more practice). I had learned embroidery while in my teens, but I had given it up for over 40 years. I want to thank you, Jacquelynn, for reminding me of my love of embroidery. I have completed several embroidery projects this winter while watching TV at night.
What a fun box of fabric–and how fun to have your daughter there! I enjoy your blog/ projects/and quilting insights so much!
My best,

I love piecing, paper piecing and machine embroidery.
I love gathering and getting ready to do the project. The excitement on any new project is contagious. I make sure I have a couple of movies ready and ignore the phone for a couple of hours each day.
I love paper piecing and free motion quilting vicky196348@gmail.com
I like applique the best and love your blog.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I loved both of your Blocks for the Splendid Sampler, as I love doing applique. I will be making a Valentine Day Heart Mug rug for my sister for her birthday in April. I know she will love it as much as I loved making “Little Things” and “Summer Flip Floppin” Thank you for your beautiful and fun blocks. I also love your embroidery designs. I am retired and live at Crown Point, Alaska and sewing and needlework keep me going. Thank you for your artistry and talent.
I don’t have a favorite
I love all forms of quilting, but probably my favorite is applique. it seems I’m drawn to that first then embroidery.
I love them all. It really depends on my mood. So appreciate the introduction by the Splendid Sampler to the various techniques, styles and approaches. Thank you for your contribution as a designer.
My favorite technique is piecing, but I love applique as well. Paper-piecing is a good way to be more accurate. I used to love embroidery but it’s difficult for me because I can’t see as well as I used to. But, yes, piecing is my favorite, for now. Thanks for the opportunity to win your generous giveaways.
My favorite is probably embroidery, but I’m still learning to do some of the others. Thank you offering this giveaway.
I love the paper piecing
I love your blog! I enjoy piecing and also embroidery. It’s calming to me.
I like paper piecing the best
I like embroidery & piecing!
I prefer piecing, but have done applique. Have not tried paper piecing. Am new to your blog and think it is very sweet of you to give away a box of fabric. Am enjoying your blog and newsletter. Thank you for sharing!!!
I love piecing but have enjoyed learning appliqué. Love your stuff! Thanks for the give away!
You have inspired me in many ways and so far, I’m still learning the quilting world’s ways! Thanks for this nice giveaway opportunity. Can’t have enough material from which to choose.
My favorite is piecing. So enjoy your blog and newsletter. Keep up the great work! Thanks much!
I love to experiment with new techniques – always trying to learn something new! Maggieheinkel@gmail.com
I like anything that can be accomplished on a machine. No patience for hand sewing. I’ve really been into scrappy pieced quilts lately and there’s nothing more fun than going through other people’s scraps! Thank you.
My favorite part is attaching the binding because then I know it is almost finished and I can go on to the next one.
My favorite part is cutting fabric, seeing all the different shape/squares label ready to be quilted. Thank you for sharing sew much valuable information on you blog.
Thanks for the chance!!! My favorite part is making BLOCKS. LOVE it and I have to push myself to put it all together!!! You HELP tremendously!!!
My very favorite part of quilting is your blog. I’ve learned so much! And I’m so grateful to you. (Secondly, i love piecing.)
Applique, applique and more applique are my favorite methods
I really like the look of bright colored appliqué blocks.
hi – thank you for your addition to the Splendid Sampler. Not sure I could tell you my favorite method since I loved them all. It was my first attempt on Paper-piecing and EPP. I believe my favorite was the embroidery – quite a long time since I had done that technique. Got a chance to refresh my memory.
I love to try new techniques but I think my favorites are applique or Paper piecing. I am working on a hand sew paper piecing project right now. It is my first try. thank you for a chance to win.
I love to pick out fabric, then cut it up and sew it back together. I also enjoy embroidery but haven’t done it in a while. My next challenge will be to try paper piecing. It looks difficult but a friend tells me it’s fun.
I love all forms, but applique is my favorite because it reminds me of my mother. I use to watch her sew every evening, applique was so interesting to me, much like a puzzle. So sweet and brilliant of you to do your fabric scraps give away!
I really enjoy appliqué best, but piecing is a lot of fun also. I’ve done paper piecing, but need more practice with it.
I love spring. Not too cold and not too hot. I’m ready after all this rain. There is no such thing as scraps, well almost. This would be a wonderful thing to have and I love books.
I filled this in but it disappeared! I am a newby but I love the piecing.
I like piecing but also do some appliquing.have done some embellishment on wall hangings.
Learning all of these new techniques was so exciting; no favorites.
I love hand sewing on the binding. During this process I take time to pause every now and then and remember to enjoy the piecing, the quilting and finally the binding.
My favorite is piecing. I love playing with geometric shapes. But I did learn to not be afraid of hand embroidery or EPP.
I love learning new ways of doing things. I love hand sewing, and creating something new with all my scraps from making quilts. I would love this to add new things to my scrap pile. Thanks, love your site.
My favorite is hand applique. I enjoy following your blog posts.
My favorite technique is patchwork piecing. I love simple and complex patchwork!
I’m a newbie just learning, so I do not have a favorite yet, but I’ve signed up for your monthly Art of Home paterns and have just bought some embroidery materials to start! I love your style and patterns.
I love applique or any block that incorporates both piecing and applique.
I love playing with scraps to create a project big or small.
Loved the entire project.
I would have to say that my favorite technique is applique. Love being able to embellish the applique with beads, embroidery or whatever makes it pop to add texture and dimension.
Thanks so much for all your wonderful patterns, tips and techniques and for sharing your gift of creativity with all of us. Hope you have a great week.

I truly enjoyed your tea cup block as it had both piecing and applique (I use iron on method.) In fact, I am making 2 of the blocks – one with the tea cup and one with a heart!!!
I love paper piecing and needle turn applique.
Thank you for all the pattern.
Love the heart block! And your blog is really heartwarming! Thank you! tweetyb936@aol.com

I love looking and playing – I mean picking out fabric. But I love to make the blocks and putting them together, after I have twisted them around for a possible different layout.
Thanks for the very good give -a way.
I love sewing and quilting! I love your posts and the quilts you offer! They are gorgeous! This would be perfect for a new wall hanging!
Paper Piecing is my favorite. Love all your samplers.
I have done applique, piecing, machine embroidery, redwork, but my go to method is piecing, would love to have more fabric to do piecing. Thank you for the giveaway
Love your blog
I love the piecing of quilts and have much to learn about the appliques, paper pieced and embroidered blocks. It’s a challenge to enjoy!
