A Quilt Along

12 Days of Christmas 2022; Day 6

Well, it’s the halfway point of our 12 Days of Christmas 2022 quilt.

Has anyone been using their featherweight sewing machines for this quilt?

Today, Day 6, we’ll make another 2 minute Tall Tiny Tree Block.

Again, if you have my Tiny Tree Template Set, you’ll want to use that,

or just download the paper templates with the instructions below.

To order the template set, just click here.

Download the Tall Tiny Tree Block instructions here below.

With 6 blocks down I think it’s time for a giveaway!

Would you like a chance to win a bit of quilting love?

2 lucky winners will get my Dresden Love pattern + a piece of the same fabric that I’ve been using for my 12 Days quilt since I’ve had several inquires about what line of fabric it is, to use for the center of their Dresden Love quilt.

For a chance to win, just post of pic of your 6 blocks (2 houses, 2 Tiny Trees & 2 Tall Tiny Trees)

on my Sewing With Susan FB page here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SewingWithSusan.

No rush, you have until 9 a.m. Monday morning to get caught up & post your pic!

2 lucky winners will have a good start on their Valentine’s Day sewing.

12 Days of Christmas 2022; Day 1

It’s that time of year again when Christmas is newly past & a new season begins; the 12 Days of Christmas.

As the 3 Wise Men begin their journey, it’s a good time for us to find our sewing machines after all the busy, busy Christmas shopping, gift wrapping, food making & visiting. I’m exhausted but excited to make a small mystery quilt for you!

Want to join me?

You can even use your featherweight machine!

Day 1 we’ll make 1 little house block. Just 6 pieces of fabric!

Trust me when I say the fabric decision making takes longer than the 2 minutes needed to sew this block!

Is it just me?

I find that’s the hardest part!

Download the instructions here.

Show your us your finished blocks on my Sewing With Susan FB page here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SewingWithSusan

Blog tour with give-aways, Charitable Giving, free pattern

My Day For #SewPINK 2022

I hope you’ve been enjoying the fun things other quilters have been posting to help encourage everyone to get their annual Mammogram.

There are lots of creative minds out there & we all hope that getting that pesky mammogram will help catch possible breast cancer early, because it’s typically very treatable if it’s caught early.

NO EXCUSES! JUST DO IT!

I have a “love-ly” little quilt, Alpine Love, that I designed & am sharing with you here for free.

I hope you’ll like it & offer a donation to

Think of it as a little incentive to get your mammogram done &

maybe make one for a friend that needs that encouragement.

We all know someone that could use some extra love!

Click the link below to download the Alpine Love PDF pattern.

The cute little 6″ Scroll Stands can be found on my website by clicking here.

The #SewPink Initiative was created by ByAnnie.com LLC to raise awareness for breast cancer throughout the year. Our efforts culminate in an annual blog hop during October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month to promote self-care, awareness, early detection, and support for those affected by breast cancer. 

To learn more and see the calendar of events, visit: https://www.ByAnnie.com/SewPINK

Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women, and unfortunately, many of us know someone or have ourselves been affected by this disease. The good news is we can do something about it because breast cancer is detectable with monthly breast self-exams and mammograms.

To find screenings available near you: 

In addition to participating in #SewPINK, Fat Quarter Shop invites you to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation with the goal of raising $20,000. To find the Fat Quarter Shop fundraiser, visit: https://fundraise.nbcf.org/team/fqs

ByAnnie.com will match every dollar raised on the #SewPINK fundraising page.

Trees, Trees & More Trees!

I have 2 new patterns & 2 new sizes of tree template sets!

You’re going to love them.

The cutting is so quick & accurate with my brand new templates

& they’re super quick to sew too!

Woodland Forest is a generous lap quilt that finishes 56 1/2″ x 74 1/2″.

Woodland Runner is a nice size table runner or door or wall quilt that finishes 14″ x 54 1/2″.

My new Mini Tree Template Set makes the largest, 6″ x 9″ finished blocks.

How cute are these Mini Trees made with Renee Nanneman of Need’l Love’s fabrics?

And my Little Tree Template Set makes the middle size trees which finish at 4 1/2″ x 6″.

They are the perfect size to play nicely with my Tiny Dresden Plates!

The Little Tree Quilt is made with more of Renee’s fabrics.

And you’re already familiar with my popular Tiny Tree Template Set, the smallest trees, which finish at 3″ x 4 1/2″.

All of these can now be found on my website by clicking here.

Woodland Forest will make a great Christmas pic backdrop!

Emma & I had some fun before dropping it off at my quilter, Tamara’s shop.

This was Emma’s very first trip to a quilt shop!

She enjoyed herself immensely!

She had to check out everything!

Then we had more fun after we picked it up!

The extra wide red binding really sets off the trees.

Instructions for the extra wide binding are included in this pattern.

You have plenty of time to sew these up to enjoy for this Christmas & for many Christmases to come!

Check them out on my website by clicking here.
