The 2022 Saturday Sampler season is fast approaching.

We will start in January 2022, so sign up now!

Saturday Sampler works like this: you will pay an $8 registration fee, and then you will pay another $8 for your first block kit. As long as you come to the next session with your completed block, you will get your next block kit free. If you either don't come to your session or if you don't complete your block, you will pay $8 for your next block kit.

In 2022, the blocks will be made primarily from the Fire & Ice collection from Maywood Studios. Because the Fire & Ice collection mostly reads as medium tones, I may occasionally draw in other coordinating fabrics, if I need a significantly lighter or darker fabric for a block. This collection has a 27" panel available, which I won't use in the blocks, but which will be a great way to expand your quilt to be larger than twelve 12" blocks would be. I will also be creating an optional Ooops Bundle of Fat Quarters of all the fabrics in the collection (because none of us is perfect) that you can purchase separately.

I have a deck of quilt block cards and each month, I will draw one card and that will be the 12" block we make that month. I won't be providing setting instructions as part of the program, but I can help you figure out how you want to set them.

At the time I am writing this, the pandemic is not yet over. Similar to how we have been meeting in 2021, we will have to keep the number of people at each meeting small. Here's how we will manage the number of people who come to each meeting.

• We will have multiple small sessions each month, and you will have to come to the session you sign up for, or attend the Zoom session.
• There will be a limit of 5 people per in-person session, and we will be socially distanced while you are here. You will be required to wear a mask at all times when you come to the in-person sessions.
• The in-person session will be at 10 am on the third Saturday of each month, and I will add sessions at 1 pm and 4 pm if needed.
• If more than 15 people sign up, we will add sessions at 10 am and 1 pm on the second Saturday of the month.
• I will hold a Zoom session at 5 pm on the second Saturday of the month for people who are at high risk and don't feel comfortable meeting in person, or who live too far away to come to the in-person session. This will also be the session you can attend if you will be missing your regular session. Because this Zoom session will be BEFORE the in-person sessions on the third Saturday, you will need to plan ahead if you are going to miss your registered session the next week.
