Let’s take a look at what we’ve included this month!
Mon Cheri Whimsical Romance 10″ Stacker by Keera Job for Riley Blake Designs
Sew Sampler got it first! Fat Quarter Shop exclusive!
Sometimes, a fabric collection comes along that just sweeps you off your feet! This 21-piece 10” Stacker is a curated combination of prints from the Whimsical Romance collection.
This fabric features a sweet selection of prints, such as tiny text to bold bouquets, and a striking color palette that ranges from aqua and pink to plum and navy. With such a beautiful mix, it’s more than a dream come true!

Creative Grids 1.5” x 6.5” Quilt Ruler by Creative Grids
This itty bitty ruler makes mini quilts more fun!
Measuring in at 1 ½” x 6 ½”, this compact ruler from Creative Grids is just the right size for pixel quilts, small strip sets and even foundation paper piecing.
With the trademark grippers and easy-to-read markings, it is a light and sturdy addition to your essential ruler roundup.
Magic Seam Wand by June Tailor
Don’t let your fingers take the heat anymore!
The Magic Seam Wand by June Tailor is a hardwood wand finished with a bevel edge to use for finger pressing.
The wood produces a flatter finish, making open seams a cinch with this nice little notion. It’s the best for all “pressing” matters!
Take-Along Mini Color Wheel by C&T Publishing
Do you spin round and round when it comes to quilt color choices?
The Take-Along Color Wheel will help you pick the perfect color pairings for all of your projects.
This tool helps you identify tints and shades of 12 colors, and diagrams illustrate 5 essential color plans that allow you to explore new color combinations without fear.
Keep it with you at all times to keep you from going color-crazy!
Mon Cheri Quilt Pattern by Fat Quarter Shop Exclusively for Sew Sampler Box
Sew Sampler Exclusive
This quilt is a work of “heart”! Mon Cheri is a sweet and simple quilt to sew up this season. Easy piecing techniques form a bubbly design featuring rows of rectangles (like little candy boxes!) and pretty hearts.
It’s a beautiful quilt to make for the ones you love or to decorate the places you love!
What about a finishing kit?
We have ordered plenty of inventory so you can order everything by the yard since we are temporarily not offering finishing kits. Please read the back of your pattern to see what yardage is called for.
2021 Block #7 Bright Side Quilt Along Quilt Card Designed by Sherri McConnell
Sew Sampler got it first!
Always sew on the bright side of life! This stunning quilt features Sherri’s fabric collection, Happy Days for Moda Fabrics. We know it will make your Sew Sampler boxes light and bright all year long! Unfortunately, the Quilt Kit is sold out but you can still pick up the coordinating Aurifil Thread Set while supplies last!

When will the finishing kit be available? Or should I just order the fabric?
Becky, In the reveal above there is info about the finishing kit; they are temporarily not being offered but we can order everything by the yard.
Absolutely loved this box. Bought more of the fabric to make the Jolly Bar Bakewell quilt for my SiL.
We have discontinued finishing kits. Please use the fabric requirements on the back of your pattern to order your fabric!
I haven’t received the box yet. How long should I wait? I live in Oregon.
I got mine in Oregon rather quickly, so I would contact FQS to check your tracking.
I love this month’s Sew Sampler Box. As a mini quilter, I use the Magic Seam Wand as a mini wooden quilter’s clapper on my tiny seams. It works great!
The color wheel is something I have been wanting in my sewing room for a long time. And, to top it all off the ruler is the best I have for cutting tiny mini pieces for my new Thimble Blossoms’ Swoon pattern.
Thanks FQS you did super this month!! 🙂
I have not gotten my box yet either, unless it came today. I’m still at work!
Is it possible to still get the October box? I’m not signed up yet.
Hi Kathy you will have to reach out to a trade/swape website to buy the the Oct. SS Kit!
I have to be honest here. Fabric – dislike. Pattern – like. Notions – absolutely LOVE. I was so excited to see the color wheel. It will be with me all the time. The magic seam wand will definitely be handy and any time we get a CG ruler, well that’s just a big win-win. Thanks FQS.
I agree with Sherry L. for the most part. I didn’t like the Whimsical Romance fabric or the Mon Cheri pattern. The notions were the best part of the box. I liked Sherri McConnell’s block #7 pattern. I always appreciate the monthly FQS coupon!
This box is the first box that makes me regret canceling my Sew Sampler subscription. I really like this pattern but I almost never liked the other Sew Emma patterns. That and the fact that I started getting duplicate notions (like alphabitties, which I never use) are why I finally canceled.
This pattern and the fabric are lovely!!
This was my first box and love it! Can’t wait until next month. 😁
In the sew sampler box it has the card from The Bright Side pattern, When I joined it was on month 6 . I have 6 and 7, but will we be able to get or purchase the months of 1-5? Would to hear from you.
Thank you Patty
Patty,
If I can find the patterns I will be more than happy to send you my copies. I don’t use the patterns.
Hi Patty, you can purchase Bright Side blocks on our website!
I am in love 😍 with everything in this fabulous box! I’ve always wanted a color wheel but always looked at them online. I love the pattern & am looking forward to getting it. Thanks so very much!
Love the magic seam wand!! The ruler and color wheel are great as well. Fabric is OK…. I’m sure I’ll find a use for it. This is just my second box, so I’m not using the Bright Side quilt pattern. Might try to find the rest of the pattern sometime in future. Overall, very good!
Loved the October box so much!! I love getting little treats just for myself!! Lovely fabric too!
I love the boxes. October’s was wonderful!
I love the fabric in the box. I already know what I’m going to use it for. I love the notions, but I need to learn how to use the color wheel. It might be very useful because I struggle with color choices.
I haven’t received my first The October Sew Sampler Box yet, but I’m really looking forward to it. America is father from Japan than I expected. I was even more excited to see everyone’s comments.
Everything in the October box was great! This has to be my favourite sew sampler box yet.
Loved all the goodies in this box! Have been using the wand and it’s great! The ruler and color wheel will come in handy. The fabric is beautiful! Would love to know what the background fabric is on the sample quilt.
Wow…it all sounds and looks wonderful. Looking forward to receiving my box…even though I have seen the teaser, it will be an exciting surprise. I hope everyone is having fun playing with their cashe!
