The Monthly Specials Quilters Are Quietly Stocking Up On

Dr. Élodie Dubois · 2026-11-11

A new month means a fresh batch of monthly specials, and this one's packed with the kind of picks that make you want to clear off the cutting table. We're talking quilting staples, cross stitch favorites, and a few festive finds that'll get you in the holiday spirit early. Just a heads-up: everything rolls over into a brand-new lineup at midnight CST on Monday, November 30th, so if something catches your eye, don't sit on it too long. ### Magic Dot by Lella Boutique There's something special about a basic that does a little more than blend in. Magic Dot by Lella Boutique for Moda Fabrics scatters tiny dots across rich, tonal backgrounds, adding just the right amount of sparkle without stealing the show. With an ever-expanding rainbow of shades, plus 108-inch wide backing, these versatile prints play nicely with just about every fabric in your stash. Think of them as the friend who gets along with everyone at the party. Whether you're building a low-volume background or need a subtle print that still has personality, Magic Dot has you covered. ### Aurifil Thread Every great quilt is held together by thread, so why not make it a good one? Made in Italy, Aurifil thread has earned its reputation among quilters for its smooth, strong, low-lint finish that glides through your machine stitch after stitch. From the go-to 50wt for piecing to heavier weights for quilting and handwork, there's a spool for every step. And with hundreds of colors to choose from, you'll find a match for any fabric you pull. If you've been meaning to stock up on your favorite spools, this is the moment to do it while they're on sale. ### Wendy Sheppard Patterns 'Tis the season to get smitten! Wendy Sheppard patterns pair classic piecing with plenty of personality, making them a joy to sew whether you're working from a fat quarter bundle or digging into your scraps. Her festive lineup has something for every corner of your holiday décor, from the cheerful mittens of Mitten Smitten to the seasonal charm of Bell Tower and Kringle Clippers. These are the kinds of patterns you'll reach for year after year, and they make lovely gifts for the quilter in your life too. ### Kaleidoscope by Lori Holt Get ready to see quilting from a whole new angle. The Kaleidoscope Quilt & Cross Stitch Book by Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet centers on a dazzling kaleidoscope star block, with three quilt sizes and three pillow sizes to choose from. Inside its spiral-bound pages, Lori teaches both traditional and triangle paper methods for making flying geese and half-square triangles. And for the stitchers out there, she even includes a coordinating cross stitch design. It's a nice bridge between two hobbies, which is exactly the kind of thing that keeps a project feeling fresh. ### Select Christmas Cross Stitch Patterns Deck the halls one X at a time with our select Christmas cross stitch patterns. From jolly Santas and sweet gingerbread to wrapped presents and twinkling trees, these festive designs are bursting with holiday cheer. Stitch up a few small pieces for gifting, or settle in with a larger design you'll display year after year. Either way, you're getting a head start on a merry, handmade holiday, and that's a pretty good feeling when December rolls around. ### A Few Things Worth Knowing Before you dive in, here are a couple of quick reminders to keep things easy: - All of these specials end at midnight CST on Monday, November 30th. - The On Sale tab is also where you'll find 24 Hour Flash Sales and Precuts Of The Week. - If you're shopping for a specific project, grab your thread and backing at the same time so you're not making a second trip. > "A good basic doesn't shout. It just makes everything around it look better." That's basically the Magic Dot philosophy, and honestly, it's not a bad way to think about your stash either.
