Fabulous box!! Great job 🙂 I’m looking forward to the next series. Been with you since the beginning!!
Really liked this box!
I appreciate the thought that goes into each monthly box! Thanks for all you do.
Very nice box. Everything will be very useful. Eager to try the new ruler! I have been with the Sew Sampler since the beginning, and I am looking forward to Year 3.
This was an amazing box. It was love at first sight for me. One of my favorite boxes! Great job, Fat Quarter Shop!!
Another great Sampler Box and just love when they arrive…great things always please me…thanks!!
Absolutely loved this box!!!!
I love getting these boxes every month, it makes me feel like its my birthday every month!
In my opinion you have hit it out of the park the past 2 months. Those boxes have been amazing, including items that are very useful. Thanks FQS.
My first box, and I LOVED it! Starting my Sparkler quilt tomorrow!
Loved this box! This is my third one and they have all been terrific. Thanks for this fun surprise club.
Love this box – as the others! Can’t wait for it to arrive.
I just wished the contets reveal could wait a little longer (a few days or so), so that all the boxes could reach their destinations first.. Last year I think the reveal came a few days into the new month, but now – with shipment around the 22nd, and the reveal on the 30th/31st, there’s no chance for all the boxes to arrive at their destination..
I miss being surpriced by opening my box – and not being told what it contains before it arrives. (I still love the content, don’t get me wrong – I just like being surpriced.)
@Tonje…what you can do is not go online to read the postsuntil you have received your box…that’s what I do, so I’m surprised…then I add my comments to the box.
Perhaps – staying away from both IG and FB saves the spoilers from other subscribers too. But the emails are still being sent out, seemingly earlier and earlier. Would it be so difficult to wait just a few more days before sending the reveal email?
Thank you for a fabulous box. I was just thinking of getting the curvy ruler didn’t want to invest incase I didn’t like it, thank you {for reading my mind} also, love the ombre material. I love the surprises each month. Keep up the wonderful job.
I really prefer more traditional boxes. Not too excited about my first box.
In it from the beginning so just let me say – Now this is what I’m talkin’ about! Love the last two months and this new direction. Thank you
I also loved this months box. I have loved all my boxes.
I loved this box!! I like everything about it. I’m almost half done making the quilt. I couldn’t wait to jump right in. I liked the pattern, the modern fabric, and I liked that the necessary ruler was included. All just fabulous!
I’m even trying to make it truly ombre by sorting my fabrics light to dark within each color, and hope to arrange the blocks that way, rather than interspersing the different shades within the block.
It was a refreshing change and I can’t wait to see what’s coming next month. 🙂
Just love the box. My first box and I am delighted with it. Thank you.
Love the more modern prints and patterns!Was considering cancelling because of all the more traditional prints/patterns (they are nice but not my thing) but if your going to start changing it up I think i’ll stay. Also love the ruler and that we can use it with the pattern. Keep up the great job and cant wait till the birthday box!
