The Secret Treasures Inside September's Quilting Box

Margriet van Dijk · 2026-08-30

All the cozy, autumnal goodies you could wish for are tucked away in the upcoming Sew Sampler box, just waiting for you to discover them. We're giving you a little peek behind the curtain at what makes this one so special. It's not just about the fabrics—it's about the two major celebrations happening: the grand return of our exclusive Vault Patterns and the ongoing whimsy of the Spooled Quilt Along. You really don't want to miss this one. If you've been thinking about joining our community of quilters, now is the moment. The sign-up cutoff is coming up fast, and we'd hate for you to be left out of the seasonal fun. ### Celebrating a Full Decade of Sew Sampler It's hard to believe, but it's been ten whole years. Since April 2016, we've sent out over 120 of those iconic blue boxes, each one packed with quilting inspiration. Honestly, it's your creativity and shared passion that built this wonderful community. We're so grateful to have you with us for this incredible milestone. To mark ten years, we're doing something we've never done before: we're opening the Sew Sampler Vault. We're bringing back 12 of our most-requested, exclusive quilt patterns that members have loved over the years. ### Your New Monthly Surprise Here's the exciting part: from April 2026 through March 2027, each monthly box will include one of these Vault patterns as a special printed bonus—at no extra cost to you. Which pattern will you get each month? That's going to stay a lovely surprise until your blue box lands on your doorstep. Think of it as a little quilting mystery to add some extra joy to your routine. For our friends who aren't members yet, you'll still be able to get each monthly Vault pattern, but only as a separate PDF purchase. ### The 2026 Spooled Quilt Along Continues Our year-long Spooled Sew Along is in full swing, and it's a delight. We're piecing our way through the next block for what will become a beautiful 54.5-inch square quilt. It's a whimsical journey that spins traditional ideas into something fresh. This quilt along is about sewing something beautiful with a sense of wonder. The Petals and Polka Dots fabric collection from Bunny Hill Designs sets the tone with its graceful reds, soft pinks, and creamy neutrals—it's the perfect palette to keep your inspiration flowing. Slowly, stitch by stitch, your Spooled quilt will grow into a truly heartwarming keepsake. The complete Spooled Quilt Kit and all the fabric details are available now if you're ready to dive in. **Fabric Requirements at a Glance:** + Focus on the Petals and Polka Dots collection for a cohesive look. + The finished quilt will measure approximately 54.5 inches square. + Kits include curated fabrics to simplify your project.
