It’s a new year, and that means that it is time for a NEW Quilt-A-Long! So today, we are launching the 2023 Sew With Me series! Join me as I teach you how to make some of the most fun and classic quilt blocks!
Throughout this series, I hope to teach you some new skills, tips, and tricks, and at the end of the series, we will have a fun selection of blocks to sew together into a sampler quilt!
The blocks will release the 2nd Thursday of each month. Each block will have a video tutorial and free PDF download.

Try RIGHT clicking then select ‘save file as’ (PC) or ‘download linked file’ (MAC), also let me know if you’re on a mobile device or computer, computer will probably work better
The pattern for block#1 doesn’t open as a pdf. Would love to join the sew along but need the pattern for block #1.
Can’t download either

Hi I can’t download pattern 1 2023 to my tablet
Seems like no one can load it. So frustrating. The right click thing doesn’t work. Anyone else figure out how to get it printed off.
Try RIGHT clicking then select ‘save file as’ (PC) or ‘download linked file’ (MAC)
I’ve tried to do as said, and still nothing. I have also checked my files as it could automatically download and still not there… help please
I right clicked and then hit open link in new tab. It opened and then I printed it. If I tried to save it directly after right clicking it, it didn’t work.
Thank you!!!
Hi Erica im from bs as Argentina, can you help me about the numbers of fabrics colours i have to buy for use in all the blocks. Thanks !!! nice to meet you
Hi Erica! Is it possible to use a jelly roll for these blocks or do they require larger pieces of fabric? Thanks! I so enjoy your videos! Peggy in Tucson Arizona
I got my 12″ and 6″ done!!
What am I doing wrong?
My blocks are smaller than 3 1/2 x 6 1/2 before I trim them.
I checked my seams and they are 1/4″
