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. Ten years is a big deal, and we wanted to do something truly memorable to say thank 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. These are the patterns you've asked about again and again, the ones that sold out and became legends in our community. 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! The exact pattern each month will stay a surprise until your blue box arrives. A little quilting mystery to keep things fun. Non-members will be able to shop the monthly Sew Sampler Vault pattern separately, as a paid PDF pattern, only. ### 2026 Spooled Sew Sampler Quilt Along!
