Join us at the ‘County Fair’ as we reveal the contents of our November Sew Sampler box! We will be ‘exhibiting’ many new and fun products this month and couldn’t be more excited to work hand-in-hand with one of our favorite designers, Carrie Nelson! We took a fun, little journey with Carrie when collaborating on this box which was inspired directly by her newest book published by Martingale called, Pin Pals.

80wt Aurifil Natural White 100% Cotton Thread by Aurifil
Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie’s Quilts for Moda Fabrics has hand-selected this spool of 80wt thread to perfectly coordinate with the Garden Variety collection. Carrie finds that the silky 80wt thread simply disappears into the fabrics when quilting her wall hanging and pincushions.
Check out our wide assortment of Aurifil threads here.

I loved everything about this box!
I really liked this box. I liked that the small project had the finishing kit included. Everything was included except the batting and backing. I like the fabric and the pattern is cute. I’ve never tried the Aurifil 80 weight before so am looking foward to trying it out on this project. My favorite feature of this box? That almost everything was included to complete the project. Keep the fun coming!
I really enjoyed this month’s box. I want to try the 80 wt. thread, but I’m nervous about adjusting the tension on my sewing machine. Does anyone have tips for this? I assume you would want to use the 80 wt. in the bobbin, too.
I was so excited to open this box! I loved everything . . . hands down! The calendar had to be my favorite as I was needing one to sit in my kitchen to remind me of the activities for the month! The 80ct thread will be new for me to try. The fabrics & Carrie’s pattern were a thrill! I’ve already made up the pin cushion!
Thanks again for a wonderful Secret Box!!!
I’ve been a member for a year now and this is one of the very best boxes….loved everything! Thank you FQS!
I loved this box. No finishing kit to buy. A cool pattern. I loved that the thread was different and it was on a little wooden spool (I will save that forever!) I need a calendar. I am liking these smaller projects. I don’t need a throw sized quilt every month.
If I sign up, are there any November boxes left? This is an adorable set!
I absolutely loved this month’s box. One of my favorite designers is Lella Boutique. It is great to see the finishing kit included. Loved both patterns too. Was so happy to see the yearly calendar again. I have purchased all the boxes since box one and this month was one of my favorites.
is there a video showing how to make the block? Or did I miss that?
BTW, loved the box
There is a video. I can’t post the link here but it was posted to FQS YouTube channel on 11/30/2018.
I liked the thread
Thanks Shelly Jo!
This was a wonderful box. I love the quilt and that the “finishing kit” was included. Thank you.
This box was awesome!!! This is my 4th box to receive. Have been a little disappointed in some of the other boxes but I loved everything in this one!
Loved the box. Also it’s complete no ordering a small amount to complete the kit. Small projects are what I’m into lately. Trying to make a wall hanging and place mats for each month and this box just fit the bill. Thanks so much.
I loved this box. I’ve already made the wall hanging and it is adorable! The smaller projects are more appealing to me and I hope you will include them more often, especially when it includes everything. I’ve heard complains that the fabric wasn’t Christmas but I loved the soft colors in this fabric line. It’s beautiful and perfect for Spring. Great job Fat Quarter Shop!
Love 💕 this box! New thread weight to try, beautiful fabric with 2 projects and the included finishing kit almost completes the project! Appreciate the smaller patterns with more notions in the Sew Sampler boxes. Good job mixing it up FQS!
Loved the box, FQS is my favorite place to shop for all my sewing needs…Thank you for another great month.
Love the contents and the project. As usual!
I was very disappointed in this months box . I have been getting them for almost 2yrs and I think they are getting worse. Gonna see what dec brings may stop.
I loved this months box. I appreciate the finishing kit . Great box FQS
Thank you FQS, I will enjoy the calendar all year. Thrilled to have Carrie Nelson’s touch on the box, love her designs! This box a real hit with me, even the wood spool, my sewing machines LOVE Aurifil!
This is my fifth box. I have not been impressed with the others but absolutely loved this one. This was what I was expecting when I signed up. Thank you FQS.
Great box! I love everything in it.
I absolutely love this months Box. Thank you so much.
Thank you. The Sampler Box is, once again, a hit. I’ve never used a cake mix or a cupcake mix so I’m excited about doing this one. I love (and need) the calendar. I really like everything in this box. It’s like Christmas every month when I receive the Sampler Box. Yippee!
