Pieter De Groot · 2026-09-24

We couldn't let National Sewing Month end without a proper celebration. So we're rolling out the Sewing Machine Love Quilt Along, a four-week event that's all about the machine that makes our quilting dreams come true. Every Friday, you'll get a fresh blog post and a livestream segment with Kimberly, who'll share tips and tricks to help you piece this adorable quilt. Mark your calendar for October 12, 2026—that's when the fun begins. ### What Is the Sewing Machine Love Quilt? At its heart, this quilt is a love letter to your sewing machine. It's a pictorial design that captures the joy we feel when we sit down to sew and the connections we build through the quilts we make. The finished quilt measures 46.5" x 58.5", perfect for a wall hanging or a cozy throw. It features the Bloomsberry collection by Camille Roskelley for Moda Fabrics—think soft aquas, fresh greens, and bright berry tones that feel like a breath of fresh air. ### Supplies You'll Need You can grab a full kit or pull from your stash. Here's what you'll need if you're sewing from your own fabrics: - 1 5/8 yards for the background and border - 10" square for the thread - 10" square for the spool ends - 1 yard for the sewing machine - 1/2 yard for the sewing machine accent - 1 fat quarter for the hearts - 1 fat quarter for the stars - 1 charm pack for the patchwork - 5/8 yard for the binding - 3 ¼ yards for the backing If you prefer a kit, there's a Sewing Machine Love Quilt Kit, a Backing Set, a downloadable PDF pattern, and a Binding Keeper—all available exclusively. ### Why We Love This Quilt There's something special about making a quilt that honors your sewing machine. It's the tool that helps you create, repair, and pour love into every stitch. This quilt is a reminder of all the memories you've made and the ones still to come.
