Bee Prepared - Strawberry Crush Sew Along!!


Hello quilty friends!
Thanks for joining me 
for my upcoming sew along!

 

We will be making the 
STRAWBERRY CRUSH QUILT
66" x 73"



We will be using my
 latest fabric collection
BERRY and SAGE
to make our quilt!

If you would like to see everything
about this collection including 
all of the new patterns and notions,
to view the storyboard!



The sew along will begin on 
May 18th, 2026
and you are invited!

The sew along will take place 
here on my blog,



 and also on my 
for week one.
If you are new to my sew alongs 
and or applique method please 
to watch my videos about applique:)

Let's talk about what you will 
need for the sew along!


First of all you will need the kit!



It comes in this cute Strawberry Box
 or your fave quilt shop may be 
cutting it from yardage and
 putting it together for you.
 Either way, 
if you don't have yours yet  
just do a quick google search of 
Strawberry Crush Quilt Kit 
and you will be able to find one 
as they are just now arriving in shops:)


If you purchase the kit in the box,
 the sew along guide is included.

If you are purchasing the fabric kit only
to download the free sew along guide
 because you will need it!


The guide will tell you the schedule 
of when I will be posting,


As well as a list of supplies and notions,
 and fabric cutting details...


Sew Simple Shape as well as
 each block details and...


Instructions on putting your quilt 
together after the applique is completed:)


P.S. I'm keeping my guide and the notions
 for this sew along inside this 
Berry and Sage Vinyl Project Bag:)
It's good to stay organized!


Also take note that you will 
need the Strawberry Crush 
set of Sew Simple Shapes.
They also are included inside the 
Strawberry Boxed Kit
but are also sold separately if needed.


The guide lists all of the 
supplies and notions needed 
and here is a photo of most!


There are four new 
Bee in my Bonnet Design Boards 
for this collection:)



If you are doing the optional
 "big stitching" around each block
 be sure to grab the 
DMC 816 called for in the guide.
I'm keeping mine on one of my  
Floss Flower Thread Bobbins.


These are the two sizes of 
Trim-It Rulers
(12 1/2" and 14 1/2") 
that you will need to square and trim up
 your blocks after all of 
your applique is completed.


As per usual,
I'll be sewing on one of my vintage
 Singer Featherweight
 machines for this sew along.
All you need is a machine
 with a good straight stitch!


I'm sew excited to be 
making these sweet blocks with you!


I'll meet you right back here
and also on my YouTube Channel
on Monday, May 18th
to get started on the blocks!

Until then...
have a Quilty kind of day:)
