Are you like me & have a hard time thinking of Christmas in July, even October???
With Thanksgiving over, the house decorated & the Christmas season underway, I want to sew with all the beautiful red, green & Christmas fabrics around me!
There are still plenty of days to sew before Christmas. And if you don’t finish it before this Christmas, there are plenty more days before Christmas 2022, 2023…
If you need some inspiration, I dare you to click this link to reveal some awesome Suzn Quilts Christmas patterns!
I did a “Christmas” search on my website to see what would happen.
There are 3 pages, 53 items!!!
I knew I loved to sew for Christmas, but I had no idea I had that many Christmas patterns. Some are quick & easy like my quilt-as-you-go Christmas Pines table runner & placemats
& Gnomes At Home December.
Many are now available in PDF so you can purchase them today & start sewing today too!
Some may take a bit more time (lol) like my Christmas Greetings sampler.
I hope you’ll go & be inspired to sew.
Know that when you place an order I ship same day, or the next if it’s late.
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.
In addition to participating in the #SewPINK Initiative, Fat Quarter Shop invites you to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation with the goal of raising $10,000.
It’s my day to once again help spread awareness for breast cancer screening.
I hope every woman is aware of how important monthly self exams and especially annual mammograms are each year once you reach 40, or before if like me, you have a family history of breast cancer.
I can attest that mammograms are no fun!
I’ve been getting them regularly for nearly half my life.
Diagnostic MRIs & ultrasounds that some years for me are every 6 months instead of 12, aren’t fun either, but it beats the alternative. I also know that if they find something in their testing they’re probably catching it early & it will hopefully be easily treatable.
Early detection is so important.
There are so many reasons to try to stay healthy &
our precious new grand baby, Emma, is a good reason for me!
I’d like to offer this new little quilt pattern to make for yourself or a friend.
It measures approx. 6″ x 6″ & fits nicely on the 6 x 6 Scroll Stand by Ackfeld.
Use it as a reminder to get your annual screening.

Welcome to Step 10 of making your Candy Corn Sampler!
Thanks for sharing pics on our FB group, Sewing With Susan!
After making today’s blocks, you’ll be 2/3 done with your Candy Corn Sampler!
Step 10 is 1 Mini Dresden plate block…
Refer to page 15, to make the Mini Dresden plate.
The hardest part of this block was deciding what color of thread to appliqué the block to the background with because I used a cheddar & a black fabric for the petals.
In the end I decided on my best friend in threads.
I use Sulky’s Medium Taupe 733-1180 thread almost every time I make a Dresden plate with multiple fabrics.
I pieced & appliquéd this entire Dresden Heaven quilt with Medium Taupe.
It blends well with light, medium & dark fabrics.
It also blends well with many colors, not just neutrals.
This is a good time to make the filler blocks if you’ve not already made them.
Find the flying geese blocks on page 16.
Half-square triangles can be found there too if you didn’t make them yet.
We’re back to needing these today.
Also more time for fabric play…
Fun, fun, fun!
Tamara added some pizzazz to the petals of this block!
I love the rick rack prints in this collection. Who am I kidding? I love this whole collection by Need’l Love!
