We loved sewing up the Shine On Sampler quilt with you, and now we are excited to present its adorable companion, the Shine On Sampler Cross Stitch Pattern! This pattern is a bonus feature in The Bonnie & Camille Quilt Bee Book by It’s Sew Emma. This precious cross stitch pattern along with the other patterns in the book presents the celebrated mother-daughter team’s personal stories of how quilting has shaped their pasts and presents while influencing future generations! Join us next month for the Shine On Sampler Stitch Along!

Hi,
Looking forward to this SAL. Is it possible to print off the picture of the sampler, with each week’s section of the design indicated. I see the picture, but could not find a link to print it out. Thanks so much.
Hi Sandi, Does this link work for you to print the image?

Kate, IT WORKED☺️ Thanks so much.
What is the size of the shine on sampler? Thanks.
Hi Lynn! It depends on the fabric that you decide to use! If you use 14 count Aida, the finished size will be 11” x 13.5”, with the suggested fabric size of 17” x 20”. If you used 25 count Lugana, the finished size will be 12.25” x 15.25”, with the suggested fabric size of 18” x 21”. If you use 28 count Linen, the finished size will be 11” x 13.5”, with the suggested fabric size of 17” x 20”. I hope this helps! 😊
Are you going to do the quilt as well as the embroidery? If so will the fat quarters be available
We did the Shine On Sampler quilt as a block of the month club that started in January 2021. Unfortunately that is now sold out. We have the book and fabric still available. https://www.fatquartershop.com/moda-fabrics/shine-on-bonnie-camille-moda-fabric
Will the Cross stitch pattern be available as a separate chart at some stage?
Is there a way to purchase the cross stitch pattern without buying the quilt book for those not into quilting?
