$5 for May + Midsummer Fabrics & Patterns


Hello Reader!

First, thank you so much for subscribing and reading my weekly newsletter. I appreciate your support with all my heart! It's been a busy time as we have prepared to share our latest collection with Moda Fabrics, Midsummer. This group is our 24th fabric collection, and one we have been wanting to put out into the world for so long. Thank you for all of the kind comments we've received so far!

Midsummer by Sherri & Chelsi for Moda Fabrics

Our Midsummer collection is now showing to shops with a delivery date of December 2026. Since shop owners have many beautiful collections to choose from for their stores, we hope that you'll share your thoughts about this collection with your favorite on-line or brick and mortar shops to be sure they order it! Stay tuned as we share our brand-new quilts and patterns with these delightful fabrics over the next several weeks.

New Patterns 20% off for One Week Only

The new Midsummer patterns are now 20% off for one week only. There is also a special paper pattern bundle available this week that is discounted and also includes free shipping. Find them all in the shop now.

$5 for May: Quilter's Cottage

Quilter's Cottage (pictured above in Delightfully Yours fabrics) is the $5 pattern of the month for May! This medallion quilt is a favorite and can be easily customized to make it the perfect size for your space. Add as many or as few layers as you'd like. (I also made a version with just the house and patchwork border that turned out really cute--see it here)!

Earlier This Week

There were lots of great posts this week...a podcast with special guest Camille Roskelley of Thimbleblossoms, my April Favorites, and of course our video/post sharing the new Midsummer Fabrics. Find these linked below:

This Week + May BOM Releases THURSDAY

Our schedule will be just a bit different this week and for several weeks throughout May and June due to travel and special events here. We will have a special podcast guest tomorrow (don't miss that episode), and then the May Block of the Month will be shared on Thursday.

Also, this week I'll be in Chicago at the H&H Americas Trade Show for the Fabric and Craft Industry sharing our Midsummer fabrics with your favorite shops. I am so excited to be an exhibitor at this incredible event and will have lots to share when I return. Because of this event, orders will not ship after tomorrow until Monday, May 11th.

Again, thank you so much for the kindness you've already shown regarding these new fabrics; we can't wait to share even more with you.

Hope you get to sew or quilt today :)
