I don't think I signed up in time for Aprils. I was hoping to sign up for the first time and start with the new years box. I believe I signed up on April 20th. So to late for Aprils box? Will I be able to get the quilt block patter for this month if I missed the April box?
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness do I love my April box. Thank you so much! Every month is a pure joy to open.
ReplyDeleteOh my!! I've not yet received my box but I'm always excited to have it arrive. From the look of the spoiler pics you've outdone yourselves!! Now I'm more eager than ever for it to get here!! I know it's cleared Customs ... thanks so much for all the work you do to make these boxes so much fun for us ...
ReplyDeleteWhat fabric/color is recommended for the binding of the basket quilt ?
ReplyDeleteAre any fabrics other than the basket bundle, Cloud yardage and backing needed to complete the basket quilt?
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda! Yes, we will have the individual blocks for sale! We do still have a handfull of April boxes left (about 30), so if you'd like to purchase please contact our customer service! :) 1-866-826-2069
ReplyDeleteHi Susan! All that you need is listed in the chart! :) That's it!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan!
ReplyDeleteConfetti Cottons Sweet Mint Solid Yardage SKU# C120-SWEETMINT :)
Sew awesome!!! I do have a quick question though. The fabric bundle has 15 fat quarters but the chart says 16 are needed. Do I need 15 fat quarters or 16? Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteThere are 16 fabrics in the bundle
ReplyDeleteHi Alicia! Great question, that was a typo on the website! There are 16 fat quarters in the bundle. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Hello tin is the exact one I have wanted since they came out. This is the only kind of phone my parents ever had. It will look sew cute next to my aqua pin bowl.
ReplyDeleteI am just as excited on month 13 as I was on month one. Thank you FQS.
Same here...received the exact tin I had admired earlier. How lucky are we!
DeleteI love my monthly gift! It's like having Christmas every month. It's so much fun receiving things I would have never given a second thought otherwise, and then finding out what a great invention I would have missed if it wasn't for the box. Thanks so much,
ReplyDeleteMy sew sampler box is like Christmas every month! Love the April box! Thank you FQS!
ReplyDeleteSuper box this month and just love everything in it....now, time to play with all these goodies and plan out a top..." Love it" !
ReplyDeleteHaven't received it yet.. Looking forward to my first box!
ReplyDeleteI love the April box and am looking forward to the Basket Sampler Quilt. I have received the Cloud yardage & Basket bundle. Are there any general directions or diagrams for cutting the colored fabric i.e. to cut a number of x" srrips, squares and rectangles from each fabric?
ReplyDeleteAlso, how many of each block do we make each month? For example if I am making the 10-1/2" blocks do I make 3 or 4 blocks ea month?

ReplyDeleteLove the April Sew Sampler Box! The Basket Quilt will be fun to make. I can't wait until May's Box gets here. Thank you for all the goodies! Joan P.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan! There are no cutting instructions for the total blocks unfortunately. As with the first Sew Sampler quilt, there will just be one of each block! :) The smaller blocks will result in a smaller quilt! I hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteThat does help and thank you for being so kind - as you probably guessed, I have not done a sew along/BOM thing like this before. I am going to do the 15" block and hope to have enough left for the scrappy border, from her Scrappy Project Planner, but if not I know where I can get more fabric ;) The colors in the basket bundle are beautiful!
DeleteI love receiving my box every month
ReplyDeleteIt is always Christmas. The selection is always fun to work with. I did expect more for the Anniversary
Box. More of a celebration box.
Thanks
