The Samplemaker BOM

Create a timeless masterpiece with The Samplemaker by Bonnie Sullivan and Dawn Heese, beautifully recolored by Shabby Fabrics in soft and colorful fabrics from the Woolies Flannel collection by Maywood Studio. Set against a bold black backdrop, each block is a celebration of classic folk art through vibrant appliqué, showcasing an enchanting mix of florals, fruits, birds, a sailing ship, and so much more! Thoughtful hand embroidery adds depth and texture, making every block feel like its own little work of art while coming together into a stunning, cohesive design. Warm, welcoming, and full of character, this heirloom quilt is as enjoyable to create as it is to display. Quilt finishes to approximately 64.5" x 64.5".
