Friends of Hands Across the Seas Samplers Stitch Along 2026 Maria Wales Newson

Friends of Hands Across the Seas Samplers
Stitch Along 2026 Maria Wales Newson by @handsacrosstheseasamplers I'm using the @tabbycathanddyedlinen and the @auverasoie_officiel silks. I'll do my border first and since I stitch right to left I'll start bottom right with section 12. Finished January part 1 of the Friends of Hands Across the Seas Samplers Facebook Group Stitch Along 2026 sampler Maria Wales Newson led by Judy Hall. I will not under estimate part 2 and procrastinate like I did this part. 😋I almost didn't make the deadline on this one. A very pretty sampler. I love doing the border which is usually the part I dread. The flowers and colours are so pretty. @handsacrosstheseasamplers

I decided to make a couple euro shams to go with my Beautiful Day Heartfelt quilt. I used the same pattern as a large heart that was used on the pieced backing. I just made an envelope backi by sewing to offset pieces of fabric to the front.  The second to last picture is the back of the quilt.
