WARNING: There are three announcements in this blog post. It’s a doozy! You may want to save it for future reference. Now let’s get started!!!

Ready for a new quilt pattern?! I know I am. I have been working on this pattern for a long time now and am excited to finally release it in my pattern store! For those of you that like sampler style quilts, or quilts that tell a story, or even dog inspired quilts, then this the pattern for you!

My Little Adventure Quilt – pdf pattern available now!

Little Bear is causing trouble! The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and he can’t help but chase all the bunnies. Look at those tracks! They lead right back to him! There he is in his little house, being a good boy, but we all know the truth. He had the best day in grandma’s garden on his own little adventure.

This pattern has a little bit of everything with newly designed blocks that are different from your traditional style blocks we usually see in quilts. From an easy, beginner friendly star block to a more intermediate level bunny block, this pattern gradually increases in skill level as you sew.

Patterns like this are one of my favorite types of quilts to make. Not only are they fun and interesting by introducing different types of blocks, but they help grow sewing skills as you make the quilt.

With a pattern this big that truly speaks to the growing design aesthetic of Stitch & Bear, I knew I couldn’t just release it and not do anything more with it. So here is where we talk about my second announcement!

My Little Adventure SEW ALONG 2025

From January 1st, 2025 to September 3rd, 2025 I will be releasing monthly blog posts and videos with extra information on each block in the quilt! A quilt with this much block variation can be daunting to the busy quilter, but we are going to take it one block at a time each month. Plus the videos will really help that visual learner to see how it comes together.

Want to be part of this sew along? Check out the fabric requirements below! I used Strawberry Lemonade by Sherri & Chelsi for Moda. It truly is a stunning fabric collection!

Now I’m going to be fully transparent with you all: this is my first sew along I’m running on social media with one of my patterns and I just started releasing patterns in 2024, so how do you know if one of my patterns is right for you? Well, here is announcement number three!

FREE Quilt Block!

Yes, you read that right! Each month the featured quilt block will be available for free for a limited time! This gives you an opportunity to see my writing style and how I like to format a quilt pattern before deciding to purchase the whole pattern. Find the My Little Adventure quilt pattern and the featured block patterns (including the free ones) in my store.

Want to see the sample quilt? Of course you do! Even my muse decided he needed to pose next to it 🙂

I hope you decide to join in on the sewing fun! Check back on the blog January 1st, 2025 for out first featured block of the month. See you all then!
