Robert Smith · 2026-09-24

### A Quilt Along That Celebrates Your Sewing Machine We couldn't let National Sewing Month end without a special quilt along to honor the heart of our sewing spaces: the sewing machine. The Sewing Machine Love Quilt Along adds four weeks of quilty fun to your fall calendar. Each Friday, you'll get weekly blog posts and livestream segments packed with tips and tricks from Kimberly. So grab a cup of coffee, and let's get ready to piece together in October. ### Sew Something Sweet and Sentimental The Sewing Machine Love Quilt captures a quilter's love for their machine and the love we share through the projects we make. Finishing at a cute 46.5" x 58.5", this pictorial quilt features the Bloomsberry collection by Camille Roskelley for Moda Fabrics. The airy aquas, fresh greens, and bright berry tones remind us of sweet memories and how creativity blooms with each stitch. ### What You'll Need All supplies are listed below and in the Sewing Machine Love Quilt Pattern.
