Spring is here, and we can’t be more excited about it. We just adore the bright, fun colors that pop up this time of year, and that was the inspiration behind our May 2017 Sew Sampler box. This box also packs some serious value, adding up to over $66, can you believe that? Without further ado, let’s take a peek inside this little, blue box!

I have been waiting to comment since I received my box. You must have ESP because two of these items were on my shopping list, the tiger tape (I had an ancient one I threw away) and the Roll & Press which I wanted because I am starting to work with laminated cotton. I’ve been wanting the Blueberry Park fabrics for the pencil soft toy in Love Patchwork and Quilting for my grandson. I even liked the pattern this month. Every single item in my box was a win for me. Thank you so much.
Oh wait, I also like that you changed the sticker you give us, I’ve been wanting that to happen for a while now. Happiness in a box, that’s what Sew Sampler is to me.
I received my quilt candies early this month, on the 20th. What a surprise. Loved each item especially the tiger tape, great for keeping embroidery stitches even so I can stitch a little faster. Thanks so much
OMG! I LOVE this months box. Thank you so much. I am having sew much fun with this sew sampler every month.
I really enjoyed my box, I love the fabrics and can’t wait to make the Pacific quilt. How ever I did not get the Cliver roll and press in my box.
Hi Michele – can you email me at Codi@FatQuarterShop.com and I’d be happy to mail you one. Sorry about that.
Another wonderful box. Thank-you.
A terrific box this month. So many useful things!!! The fabrics are so pretty and the pattern and ruler to go with them…..it’s all great! I can’t wait for the June box! I’m like a kid at Christmas!

This post will help the internet viewers for building up new blog or even a weblog from start to end.
It’s awesome to go to see this website and reading the views of all colleagues concerning this piece of writing, while I am also zealous of getting knowledge.
What you posted made a great deal of sense. However, think on this, what if you added a little information? I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your blog, however suppose you added a post title to maybe grab a person’s attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little vanilla. You should peek at Yahoo’s home page and note how they write news headlines to grab people to click. You might add a related video or a picture or two to get people interested about everything’ve got to say. Just my opinion, it could bring your blog a little bit more interesting.
