2026 STITCHALONG - Spring Garden Band Sampler
I’m so excited to share the 2026 Stitchalong — the Spring Garden Band Sampler! 🌷
This one’s a little different from my previous mystery SALs. The full design is already complete (no secrets this time!), which means you can see exactly what you’ll be stitching — a cheerful garden full of flowers, butterflies, topiary and more.
We’ll still stitch it together month by month throughout 2026, starting in January and finishing in December. Each section builds your stitched garden row by row — from tiny spring blooms at the top to flower pots and the final border at the bottom.
If you’ve joined Coastal Summer or Great Outdoors, you’ll recognise the same relaxed rhythm and friendly format, but this time everything is sent to you as soon as you sign up. And if you’re new — welcome! This is the perfect chance to join in without the mystery element.
The stitchalong starts on 1st January 2026 and is divided into 12 parts, one per month throughout 2026. Once you have purchased the stitchalong you will receive the whole pattern and it’s up to you whether you choose to keep up with the stitchalong or not. If you’ve always wanted to try a stitchalong but haven’t been brave enough it’s a very relaxed way to try one. It’s a lovely, gentle way to start the new stitching year. Use the hashtag #springgardenSAL to follow other stitcher’s progress and I will be posting photo’s on my Instagram stories @StitchingCabin.
