Land of Lincoln Sampler Program


End of summer and beginning of fall is a perfect time to start thinking about cozy lap quilts…here’s one to get you started! This design from Carol Hopkins, called Land of Lincoln Sampler, features 13 unique nine inch pieced blocks alternated with simple rail fence setting blocks.  The completed quilt finishes at 60 inches square, but you can always add more blocks and make a larger project!

Pick up the pattern and starter kit (includes six fat quarters to create your first few blocks) for $26.95. Complete any four sampler blocks of your choosing by September 30th, and receive a free strip set to make two setting blocks! Dig into your stash or purchase fat quarter bundles...Complete all sampler blocks by November 30th and receive a discount on your border fabric.

Best part is…you’ll get to show off your finished quilt here at Two Thimbles in February. This is a great way to improve piecing accuracy, use up some scraps or dig into your fat quarter stash if you have one... and you’ll come out with a pretty, scrappy new project!

We've got starter kits and patterns ready to go, as well as fat quarter bundles to supplement your stash...so let us know if you want to sign up next time you come in! You can also participate through the mail, so contact us if that is your preference.

 


Our sample is still in progress, but we have some completed blocks hanging in the classroom and on the display board pictured above. Stay tuned for more progress on the finished product...

Happy Stitching!
