Robert Taylor · 2026-07-09

We're ready to start our 13th Annual Charity Quilt and Cross Stitch, Haven! Let's get started with the first of two pattern releases and sail off into this quilt and stitch along together. If this is the first you're hearing of it, you can read all about it in the announcement blog. ### Haven Block One Pattern PDF Download Block One of the Haven Quilt has its sails set for the brightest star in the sky! We're sewing ours with the True Love collection designed by Lella Boutique for Moda Fabrics. You can make one just like ours when you purchase the Haven Quilt Kit. Want to make yours with a different fabric? Check out the Haven Quilt Fabric Requirements on the Haven Quilt and Stitch Along Product Page to make one with your own fabrics. With just four printed fabrics and a background, the color options are limitless. So, shop your stash or shop one of your favorite new collections today—we can't wait to see what you make. We also have three of our Quilty Staffers sewing along with different collections to get your creative mind dreaming of all the design possibilities. Here's a quick look at their fabric choices: - Poinsettia and Pear - A Cat Named Stitch - Petals and Polka Dots ### Sew Along with Kimberly! On Thursday, July 9th, join Kimberly in a pre-recorded video as she sews block one of the Haven Quilt. Whether you're sewing along with us or just love to tune in and share in the quilty fun, we're excited to have you there! Our Haven Quilt and Cross Stitch Patterns benefit Make-a-Wish Central & South Texas. As we sail closer to our 13th Annual Charity Quilt Along, we are excited for the life-changing impact this sewing community can make and are inspired by the stories of the children who have been granted life-changing Wishes. Last year, we had the special opportunity to host Justin's Wish Party. The time spent with Justin and his family was a bright spot in our year, and we had so much fun hearing about all the fun things they planned to do during their trip to Disney! ### Special Donor Gift! The first 500 donors to donate an amount of $75 or more will receive a special limited edition Haven Bear as a thank-you gift! This sweet bear comes with embroidered foot pads and a darling bowtie and will only be available to those who donate to the Haven fundraiser this year. For each bear we send to a donor, we will also send one to a Make-A-Wish child, so it's a gift that keeps giving! With every donation, we are closer to our goal of granting ten wishes and closer to awarding each special surprise. Our quilty community never ceases to amaze us with its kindness and big-hearted generosity. We know how meaningful it is to come together for this cause, and we're so grateful for every donation, no matter the size, that helps bring a child's wish to life. Fat Quarter Shop and Moda Fabrics are once again teaming up to match up to $30,000 in donations. With our amazing community pitching in, we know that hitting our $100,000 goal is on the horizon! ### Stardust Cross Stitch Each year, we enjoy stitching the coordinating cross stitch pattern for the charity quilt pattern, and the scattered stars and added texture in the Haven Cross Stitch Pattern make it a must-stitch! With five colors of embroidery floss hand-picked to coordinate with the quilt, you will be sew excited to get stitching Part One of the Haven Cross Stitch Pattern. ### Haven Part One Cross Stitch Pattern PDF Download Visit the Haven Quilt and Stitch Along page to find all the cross stitch details and bookmark it to easily check back for both pattern releases!
