The deadline creeps up faster than you think, and once it passes, the only way to get these goodies is through the aftermarket. ### Celebrating 10 Years of Sew Sampler Since April 2016, we've shipped 120 blue boxes filled with quilting goodness to our amazing members. Your creativity and love of quilting have helped shape Sew Sampler into the wonderful community it is today, and we are sew grateful to celebrate this milestone with you. It's been a decade of thread, fabric, and friendship, and we couldn't have done it without you. To mark the occasion, we're opening the Sew Sampler Vault! For the first time ever, 12 of our most requested exclusive Sew Sampler quilt patterns are coming back. This is a big deal because some of these patterns haven't seen the light of day since their original release, and the demand has been huge. ### What's in the Vault? From April 2026 through March 2027, one quilt pattern from the Sew Sampler Vault will be automatically included as a printed pattern in each monthly box shipment as a special bonus for members, at no extra cost. That's 12 months of surprises, and the exact pattern each month will stay a secret until your blue box arrives. A little quilting mystery to keep things fun! - One vintage pattern per month for a full year - Included free with your regular subscription - A new surprise revealed every single month Non-members will be able to shop the monthly Sew Sampler Vault pattern separately, as a paid PDF pattern, only. So if you're not subscribed, you can still grab these classics, but you'll pay a la carte for the privilege. ### 2026 Spooled Sew Sampler Quilt Along! With this year's Sew Sampler Box Sew Along, Spooled, fully underway, stay tuned to see the next block we're piecing for the 54.5-inch square quilt. The project is coming together beautifully, and each block adds a new layer of charm to the overall design. Join us for a whimsical year-long journey with the Spooled Quilt Along! Spinning off traditional block patterns, this quilt along is a wonderful way to sew something beautiful with wonder and joy. The Petals and Polka Dots fabric collection by Bunny Hill Designs brings together graceful reds, pinks, and creams that will keep your bobbins bobbing along. The Spooled quilt will steadily grow into an unforgettable and heartwarming keepsake. ### Fabric Needs and Getting Started The Spooled Quilt Kit and fabric requirements are available for purchase now.
