Sew Sampler's 10th Anniversary: What's Hiding in the October Box?

Get comfy and cozy as you settle into fall stitching with the October Sew Sampler box! Peek inside for a clue to the oh-sew-delightful contents and to learn about the Vault Patterns and the Spooled Quilt Along.

Fall is here, and you know what that means—it's time to get comfy, grab a warm drink, and settle in for some serious stitching. The October Sew Sampler box is packed with goodies that'll make you want to curl up with your sewing machine. And trust me, this month is extra special. ### A Decade of Blue Boxes Can you believe it's been 10 years? Since April 2016, Sew Sampler has shipped 120 blue boxes filled with quilting goodness to members all over the country. That's a whole lot of fabric, patterns, and happy dances at the mailbox. Whether you've been with us from the start or just joined, you're part of a community that loves to create. And we're sew grateful for each and every one of you. To celebrate this milestone, we're doing something we've never done before: opening the Sew Sampler Vault. For the first time ever, 12 of our most requested exclusive quilt patterns are coming back. These are the patterns you've been asking for, and now they're within reach. ### The Vault Is Open—Here's How It Works 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. That's right—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! If you're not a member yet, you can still get your hands on these patterns. Non-members will be able to shop the monthly Sew Sampler Vault pattern separately as a paid PDF pattern. But honestly, why not join the fun and get the box? You'll get the pattern plus a whole lot more. ### Spooled Quilt Along: A Year of Whimsy Now, let's talk about the Spooled Quilt Along. This year-long journey is in full swing, and it's not too late to jump in. We're piecing a 54.5-inch square quilt that's all about spinning off traditional block patterns into something magical. The Petals and Polka Dots fabric collection by Bunny Hill Designs brings together graceful reds, pinks, and creams that'll keep your bobbins bobbing along. The Spooled quilt will steadily grow into an unforgettable and heartwarming keepsake. The Spooled Quilt Kit and fabric requirements are available for purchase now. So if you want to sew along with us, grab your kit and let's get stitching. ### Don't Miss Out If you're not yet subscribed and want to join in time for the October box and the Spooled Quilt Along, now's the time.
