New Owner; Same Great Selection of All Kaffe Fassett!
In January, 2013, www.the-sampler.com changed hands. Lori Allison became the new owner. She has long been a primary designer of quilts and accessories for the-sampler.com, using the Kaffe Fassett Collective line of fabric. So it was a natural fit for her to carry on the website and major quilt show presence of the-sampler.com that Karol Plocher had successfully built over the last 28 years.
the-sampler.com will continue to offer the complete selection of Kaffe Fassett Collective fabrics and books including ALL of the shot cottons and woven stripes. It will continue to be your source for All-Kaffe quilts and related projects for the Kaffe Fassett-lovers around the world. Lori will design and find innovative patterns and projects using the Kaffe Fassett Collective fabrics to periodically give you some great new eye-candy and, perhaps, inspire your new projects or gifts the-sampler.com PS Karol is retired and traveling the country in an RV!  6/12/2012 - What Can I Give Dear Old Dad? If you are like me, it was always hard for me figure out what to give my dad for Father's Day. After all he already had everything that he needed. Usually he would make it even harder by going shopping for himself to get what he really wanted!I've got an idea for something special that could not be bought in a store. A Kaffe Fassett Tie! It only takes a yard of fabric. I used an old tie for a pattern and sewed it back together the same way it was put together. I do have to tell you that the point of the tie is a bit tricky. You may want to sew that part by hand to avoid frustration. I used cotton fusible interfacing, two layers, to give it a bit more body. Take out the liner and reuse it since it is already the same size. ( I have not found out where to get the lining or been able to identify the heavier fabric) You can make one in a day so there is still time for to make one before Father's Day. Be sure to take a picture when he proudly wears it to work!! Happy Father's Day To Fathers Everywhere! 10/15/2011 - Kaffe Fassett's Quilts in Sweden
