Cecile and Corinne's - Sampler sew-a-long

 I’m having fun with my baskets for Cecile (Patchwork Inspirations) and Corinne’s “Sampler” sew-a-long. 




 Six more baskets brings my “pieced block” total to 8. This is the minimum number for the challenge and the way things are going around here, I just may stick to that number if I’m going to meet the deadline.

 As much as I LOVE the Olympics, all those events really take a toll. I am suffering from sleep deprivation. I have particularly enjoyed the curling this time. It is a good thing our closest curling arena is an hour away or….

 The applique blocks are next and I’m looking forward to them. Applique is always easier than piecing for me and I can do it while watching TV!

 Please do take a peek at all the creative sampler blocks on Cecile and Corinne’s Facebook page (here). Enjoy the day!

  1. Sweet sampler basket blocks. I hope you're getting a box of the real thing, strictly for research purposes. LOL

  2. So pretty, Wendy! The blues in your lovely basket blocks appear to have a fluorescent quality. I love the effect.
    Oh, I hear you on the Olympics and sleep deprivation! There is an ice arena about 20-25 minutes away from me. It was built as a practice venue for some of the ice skaters from other countries for the 2002 Olympics. I had tickets to go watch one of their practice sessions, but some rude spectators at one of the early practices irritated the skaters and they closed the practices. But now they have skating, hockey, and curling there. I have been tempted.
