Pull on your coziest sweater, brew a mug of something warm, and get ready to stitch your way through fall — our third annual Sweater Weather Sampler kicks off September 4th, and this year it’s better than ever.

This collaborative sampler is brought to you by the Nine Patch Quilt Collective — nine talented quilt designers (including yours truly!) who have each created an autumn-themed block to make your quilting season extra magical.

For just $35, you’ll get:

• 9 brand-new quilt block patterns (20″ x 20″ finished size)
• A full quilt layout & finishing instructions for a 60″ x 60″ quilt top
• The option to use your blocks in smaller projects like pillows or tote bags
• Video tutorials for select blocks
• Access to our private Facebook group for inspiration, encouragement, and community
• Weekly prizes and giveaways throughout the sampler
