Here at Said With Love we have a couple of Sew Alongs a year.
We like our Sew Alongs to be relaxed and fun and supportive. You know, the sort that don’t have a million rules and regulations so that if life gets in the way it is OK. Sometimes there are prizes because we have found some great sponsors, sometimes getting the love and support of your fellow quilters is enough!
Join us for one!

Stitch Pink is run in October each year and coincides with Breast Cancer Awareness month. Moda Fabrics selects a fabric collection each year for Stitch Pink, and this year it is I Heart Ombre Metallics and OMG it is gorgeous!
Said With Love supports this each year with a sewalong and fundraising, and in 2024 we will be sewing one of our new A Year Of Hearts patterns! (yes, more hearts!).
Pictures of our pattern will be released as soon as we can, however in the meantime, you can order your fabric required for the pattern!
A Half Metre or Half Yard bundle of all 10 of the coloured prints from I Heart Ombre Metallics and 2.5 metres (or 2.75 yards) of the white print from the collection.
For Aussies and Kiwis, we have kits available here. The kit will include the pattern as well.
So, save the date : Tuesday 1st October 2024 for our Stitch Pink 2024 Sewalong!
Join us for a fun block-of-the-month sewalong with lots of heart blocks!

We ran this during June and July 2021
Join us for this fun sew along making Jen Kingwell and Andrea Bair’s Boho Heart Quilt!
This quilt is going to look stunning in pretty much every fabric selection you decide on… but I am going to use a curated bundle of Alison Glass fabrics.
You can post your blocks and progress on Instagram or in our Facebook Sewalong Group.
The QAL (quilt along) will finish in mid May 2021.
Have you got some fabrics in your stash that are really precious and you just don’t seem to be able to cut into them?
Well this is the sew along for you!
We are encouraging you to get that fabric off the shelf and into a beautiful project!
It can be a quilt or a cushion or a garment or a bag…. the pattern is up to you!
We are starting now (18th March 2020) and this will be a relaxed and slower sew along.
The pattern I have chosen (the Cross Plus Quilt) has 49 blocks in it, so my quilt is going to take me until at least the end of the year to finish.

Stitch Pink 2020 saw us sewing the 30 blocks that Moda Fabrics had created for each of the days of October (and 1 finishing pattern) for Breast Cancer Awareness month.
Everyone grabbed their pink fabric (and some not-so pink fabrics!) and joined in on the fun.
I still have a couple of the patterns in stock now if you want to make this pattern! The sew along is over but this pattern is just gorgeous!
aka the Icy Poles Sew Along!
We had such a fun time sewing up those super cute penguins! And some brave souls tackled the North Stars pattern as well!

A stunning foundation paper pieced pattern that was great fun to make in a sew along!

This sew along was a blast! Sooo many of Elizabeth Hartman’s great patterns were part of this one.
Read about the Elizabeth Hartman All the Animals Sew Along here
We had fun with this one before Xmas 2017 – sewing up blocks from Elizabeth Hartman’s Awesome Ocean, Delightful Desert and Fancy Forest patterns.
It seems we all need some encouragement to finish those Xmas projects – this sew along was making the Thimbleblossoms pattern Handmade With Love with a group of fun ladies who made some awesome things!
The Advent Calendar pattern is a fun one to make in the lead up to December – and having some friends to sew along with to keep you on track is always fun! We had a great time with this sew along and it was interesting to see how people tweak a pattern to make it their own!
