If you haven’t read my earlier post (April Sew Sampler Box) or aren’t sure what I’m talking about, Sew Sampler is a monthly subscription quilting box from Fat Quarter Shop that automatically delivers surprise quilting goodies to my door every month. I absolutely loved the April box, and couldn\’t wait for the May box to arrive. Please visit Fat Quarter Shop for all the details! And now . . . on to the good stuff.
First up, I found a coupon, a quilter’s coloring page, Block #2 Recipe card and TWO spools of Aurifil thread! Yes!!
Next up, two totally cool notions that I do not have: Sew Easy Tweezers from Elisa’s Backporch Design and Bobbini Bobbin Holders by Smartneedle. Just the other night when I had to unpick some errant stitching (boo!), I had a heck of a time removing the little picked threads. (I am not a lady with fancy long fingernails.) The tweezers will come in handy and can serve double duty as a stiletto!
These colorful Bobbini bobbin holders are so clever and cute. I ran to my sewing room to grab a bobbin to test it out. Very slick!
As I continued pull goodies from the box, I was completely tickled to find this exclusive Sew Sampler pattern: the \”Cozy Holiday Tablerunner\” by Lori Holt! I love the scrappy, cheery look, and I can’t wait to make it. Tucked in next to the pattern was a bonus pack of \”Cute Little Buttons,\” also by Lori.
Finally (and this is where I may have squealed), I came across two 5” Stackers of Lori Holt’s new line: Cozy Christmas for Riley Blake Designs! I didn\’t yet have this collection, and it is even sweeter in person than the pictures I’ve seen online. I kept fanning through the stack, trying to decide which print was my favorite. Such a darling, retro holiday line!
Thank you Fat Quarter Shop for knowing so well what we love, need and want! And thank you all for stopping by the blog today! I hope you get carried away quilting often!
