I don't know about you, but sew along announcement day is so much fun! If you are new to my projects I host a lot of sew alongs. You can join as many as you like.
Today I have my Block Wed and my 3 book sewalongs for the summer to announce… Let me introduce you to…..
FREE Block Wednesday
"Main Street" is going to be an easy breezy summer sew along, you must join me!
I love to have my quilts tell a story. Everyone lives somewhere, and all our towns have a "Main Street". It might be called another name like Center street or 1st street, but everyone knows it's the hub of the community.
Each block will be inspired by something we find or do on Main street, and I can't WAIT to hear your stories!
I'll be creating project pages for all of these.
My Project Details:
- DATES – May 29 to Sept 11 2019
- Please NOTE -June 5 NO block due to my travel and to give people time to join in I'll have something else fun that day
- NUMBER - 12 blocks + Setting + Final share
- SIZE - 60" x 78"
- TIMING – Wednesday around 7:30am EST. Email notice about noon EST . NEVER when the block is published.
- Technique – All Easy Pieced
- NOTE – If you already Receive the Block Wed emails you are set. Otherwise ENTER YOUR EMAIL to get the weekly notice
I design, write, create, and sew along with you USING a Bundle of Fabric that is in the supply list below. SCROLL to the PINK download for a printable with photos of the fabric bundle.
My Wednesday sew alongs are a mystery filled with SIMPLE and FUN blocks. I have a title for the block and talk about a topic related to Main Street. The block does not LOOK like what I'm talking about.
I make the block each week using the bundle, I don't know in advance what fabric goes where. My Free Wed sew alongs are not planned out in advance, I do them to be creative and have fun! You can see all the prior ones HERE

Fabric I'm using – Main Option
When I saw General Store i KNEW this was the one! It feels like an updated 30's style fabric, and I love the colors!
CLICK the Links below to BUY The Fabric
- Fat Quarter Bundle i'm using is 33 pieces, one of each. I won't use them all . the Bundle is sold out so make your own
- 1.5 yds of soft carnation background
- 1 yd red gingham
- 1 yd stripe
- *** to see ALL General Store Fabric
Option 2
I am truly crazy about this 'Cheeky' fabric. When I used it for my Button Club Strawberry I knew I wanted to make something else with it. I don't know if I personally will TOTALLY keep up on doing 2 versions but if this one makes your heart skip a beat, use it this summer for a super darling "Main Street" quilt! (DOWNLOAD my FREE Button club Strawberry block HERE)
CLICK the Links below to BUY The Fabric
- Cheeky Fat Quarter Bundle – 28 FQs in this bundle
- 1.5 yds of white with little red dots
- 1 yd red dots that is in the FQ bundle is now sold out. So if you want to do similar to me select another red print or just wait until you make a few blocks and decide.
- 2 yds Roses & dots to use as a full border. The quilt layout will not have a solid border but I will put a solid border on this one as I love this dot and rose print! – pick the shade you love. OR wait and see the border option. This fabric will go quickly

Looking for fabric kit for Halloween bag shown on Monday fireside chat. Making it October 7
Will you be doing any videos on any of the blocks? I have the book but am confused by a few of the patterns.
Pat I had to get 2nd group of fat quarterso. Is there somewhere I can see which fabrics in the book match up with 2nd bundle. I am confused which fabrics to use in each block as not the same as in the book pattern. Thanks
Hello Pat , I found your y-tube videos a few weeks ago and now I’m hoocked. I used your links and punched the Winter Wonderland good and the fabric kit. I know I’m a few weeks behind but I am excited to catch up and join the sew along. Thanks so much for you fireside chats
Hi Sarah, Did you get an email about the Witch’s Night Out sew along? Still waiting for mine. Even checked my spam.
I entered my email address (several times) but I am not receiving any emails. I wanted to follow along with the Witch’s Night Out. What am I doing wrong?? Please help!!
What time do you usually send the email for Witches night out?
I have the witches night out book and fabric. Would you recommend cutting all the fabric before starting sewing on the 11th?
I am looking at the Witch’s Night out sew along.
Mrs. Pat,
I was thinking of purchasing the All Hallows Eve fat quarters bundle to get the same colors as the photo shown. I love that muted look to the fabric. Also, if I did purchase the fat quarters would one bundle of 25 suffice or should I purchase two bundles? I noticed that the bundle kit said starter bundle from Fat Quarter Shop.
Thank you for your feed back.
I ordered the book Witch’s Night Out can not wait to start sewing on July 11,its like have a friend coming to visit each week.
