The Something New Sampler Blog Hop

Today I would like to share with you a fun blog hop that is starting
this month at thecutelifesmiles.blogspot.com. 
The something new sampler! 

Looking for your next project?
Resolved to learn some new sewing skills this year?
Want to win some great prizes?

Then join in the blog hop for The Something New Sampler!

Each week, one or two bloggers will present a block tutorial with an 
uncommonly used technique. There will be a total of 9 blocks presented. 
And, just to mix it up, we're going with a funky modern block size - 7" x 14"! 
We'll have plenty of suggestions on how to use this block shape along the way. 
There's no need for our modern blocks to always be square :)

Here's our schedule:
