I have been wanting to make a Sampler Frame (not sure what to call them!) for quite some time - let's say, over a year!! At one of the Quarterly's a year or so ago, we did a "inchie" swap so we could make our own sampler card or frame when we got home. Well, those "inchies" are somewhere here in my craft room. I actually saw them a few weeks ago but can't remember where!! So I decided to do my own. I made this first frame a couple of weeks ago mostly using extra pieces that I had made for cards and not used. I keep them on my desk in a little box. So, I pulled them out - the flowers, bird, butterfly, pinwheel and added a few other pieces and made this frame. I used a lot of retired colors in making this frame - Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue, and Certainly Celery - a few of my favorite colors.

Yesterday I decided to make a second sampler to fit in the same frame. By the way, I bought this frame at Wal-Mart for about $12. I am going to offer this sampler as a class and having the two samplers, the gals can pick the squares they want to make for their own sampler.
This second sampler uses In Colors - Coastal Cabana, Pistachio Pudding, Cantalope Crisp and Baked Brown Sugar.

So what do you think? Would you like to sign up for this class??
