Saturday Sew Sampler
Happy Saturday Friends!–It is a wet, snowy one here in Berlin, Ohio today! It’s a perfect day to stay inside and sew, or read, or any of those other perfect wintery activities. =)
I thought I would share the November Sew Sampler box today as well as my completed Goodness Grows block for November. This box was a great one and (although I am partial) the Goodness Grows sampler block was a fun one.
The butterfly block which you can see at the top of the page was block 8 of the Goodness Grows Sampler that I designed for Fat Quarter Shop’s, Sew Sampler boxes. The box is a subscription box but even if you aren’t a subscriber you can still purchase these block patterns here.
I am using Strawberry Jam fabrics for my blocks and they will make up the prettiest spring quilt when they are put together and finished in the upcoming spring.
And here is what subscribers received in the November Sew Sampler box.
- Two Harvest Road charm packs by Vanessa Goertzen for Moda Fabrics (This fabric is so pretty!)
- An Acorn Caps pattern (this pattern is a box exclusive)
- The Perfect 5 Ruler — This ruler is designed by It’s Sew Emma to work perfectly with charm packs. They have also released a Perfect 5 book designed to work with the ruler. If you are a collector of charm packs you may like this ruler and/or book. PS, today 12/14, this book is 40% off — along with all books on the site. And, if you are a fan of sew alongs and sampler quilts, you might enjoy the Perfect 5 sew along that just wrapped up. All of the sew along information is still available.
- A spool of Harvest Road coordinating Aurifil thread. I always use 50 wt. Aurifil thread for piecing so this will come in handy. The color 2021 is what I use for nearly all of my piecing.
- A Gingiber Magnetic Minder (this is so cute!)
It was such a fun box to receive last month. Here is more information on the Sew Sampler box if you are considering a subscription for yourself and friends for Christmas.
Another heads up on a sale, I noticed Fat Quarter shop also has a Countdown to Christmas sale on a lot of bundles for today only. If you don’t see the sale price on the listing, click the bundle to see the discounted price on any of the bundles on these pages.
Happy Saturday!–see you next week!
I love the November Goodness Grows block. I am in awe of your pattern making skills! Thanks
