  1. This box one of my favorites . Love the ruler . These boxes have given me a great restart to quilting .I have honestly loved them all some had things I thought I wouldn’t like but getting myself out of my comfort zone has opened up a new way of looking at a quilt projects from fabrics, notions , also making my quilt room cute all a plus.

  2. This was a fabulous box containing quilters’ favorite things: fabric, thread, ruler, pattern, etc…..just great! Thank you!

  3. Loved the roll of tangles, and the thread. Fabric not my favorite but I have resigned myself to not getting my style of fabric. The ruler was interesting will get lots of use from it.

  4. Great box this month! Loved everything about it. So many useful items that I can’t imagine anyone complaining. The little roll of triangles was so cute!

  5. This box was terrific! I loved everything in it. I bought the larger folded corner ruler last year for my birthday and have really liked it, so I am eager to try the smaller version. The fabric is beautiful, and I’d had my eye on it for a while, so I was very happy to receive it. Everything in the box will be useful!

  6. This came just in time for my birthday. What a great treat! I have loved these boxes from the get go and can’t wait for the next. Thanks

  7. I don’t normally comment about the boxes I get – I like them all – But I have to say I love this ruler. Already it has saved me hours of time from drawing the lines on the little squares. I love it! Thank you so very much for the wonderful box you put together each month for us!

  9. What a wonderful surprise this box was!!!
    Like everyone else, I loved it all and was astonished that we received 2 charms packs!! Fantastic!

  10. I feel really sad about giving up my monthly subscription to this box. It is just creating more projects for me, but I miss it so. It is like Christmas in a box every month. Might have to reconsider my decision to quit.

    Thx FQS

  19. I absolutely loved the fabric selection!!! The cheerful colors of spring just made me want to make a complete “Table Cloth” for my Dining room table! I couldn’t resist those beautiful colors!!!

  22. This was my first box, and I loved everything in it! I’m so glad I finally decided to join in, and I can’t wait for all the goodies to come every month! Thanks so much!

  23. I was kinda disappointed with the selections in January, so pleasently surprised by the Feb Box. Am already seaching for a pattern for the charms, and love getting any kind of ruler! Very much appreciate the value every month. One reason why after a year of subscribing I will continue to do so
    Thanks very much for the inspiration this provides every onth.

  24. I’ve done a lot of grumbling about recent boxes, but this is exactly what i’ve been asking for: enough fabric to make the pattern, a spool of thread, a super cool ruler, a nice pattern, and another interesting & useful notion. Guess i won’t be canceling yet!

  25. This year our Guild will be working on borders. If there are other tools to use for borders, may b a suggestion? Thx FQS.
