A Quilting Life Weekly Notes + Gratitude


Hello Reader,

Today I'm sharing the regular notes from the week along with a few details on the upcoming finish for our 2025 Block of the Month and the brand new 2026 Block of the Month that is coming soon. (Please also read to the end for a note of gratitude on behalf of me, Chelsi, and Billy).

2025 + 2026 Block of the Month Notes

It's official: my 2025 Block of the Month quilt is finished and at my quilter's house. We've filmed the final video for this quilt to share with you on Monday, December 1st and can't wait for you to be able to finish your quilt. There will be two separate patterns to download that day. Be sure to download both the block pattern and the finishing instructions. Also, please be sure to download any earlier patterns you might need as they will only be available in my shop beginning in January.

Preparations are well under way for the 2026 Block of the Month! Stay tuned this Wednesday for all of the details on the next free Block of the Month program along with a few hints and the fabric requirements.

Last Week for Sea Breeze $5 Pattern

Also, a quick reminder that this week is the final week to get the Sea Breeze pattern for $5. I'll be sharing the December $5 pattern next week.

And... With Gratitude

I want to take just a moment on behalf of myself (and Billy and Chelsi) to thank you for all of your support.

Our readers, podcast and YouTube channel listeners, viewers and loyal customers like you make it possible for us to do what we love, and we are truly grateful for this. Your kind and positive responses to our art, fabric, and patterns inspire us every day to keep doing what we love.

We are wishing you a season full of joy, friendship, family, and moments that matter most to you.

With heartfelt gratitude--Sherri, Billy, and Chelsi
