Set the table and get ready to sit down for a feast of festive stitching with the Thanksgiving Row Sew Along by Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet! With her signature blend of novelty and traditional blocks, this quilt brings an abundance of sewing that you can be grateful for all year long. Join us in September 2026 as we dive into Lori's new Baked With Love collection and cook up our most delicious quilt yet.
This quilt is perfect for intermediate quilters who love working with small pieces, piecing both traditional and pictorial blocks, and getting lost in a good project! The Thanksgiving Row Quilt measures 79.5 inches by 91.5 inches, and Kimberly is sewing hers with the Baked With Love collection by Lori Holt for Riley Blake Designs. Here are all the links you need to be ready to start sewing along come September!
### What You'll Need to Get Started
Before you jump in, gather your supplies. The quilt uses a mix of novelty and traditional blocks, so you'll want a variety of fabrics. Lori's Baked With Love collection is the star here, but you can substitute with your own stash if you prefer. For the full experience, consider reserving a quilt kit or backing set from your favorite fabric shop. Here's a quick checklist:
- Thanksgiving Row Quilt Kit Reservation
- Backing Set for the Thanksgiving Row Quilt Kit Reservation
- Thanksgiving Row Quilt Downloadable PDF Quilt Pattern (also available as a paper pattern)
- Thanksgiving Row Sew Along Fabric Requirements and Schedule
These items will ensure you have everything you need before the sew-along kicks off. Don't wait too long, because kits tend to sell out fast!
