Sew Sampler Box July 2020

A few weeks back I signed up to receive the Sew Sampler Box from The Fat Quarter Shop.
They do have a waiting list, but it didn't take long for my name to come up.

I was so excited when they contacted me to let me know they had opened new spots.

If you're not familiar with the Sew Sampler Box it's $24.95 a month and full of goodies.
You receive your box once a month and it includes an assortment of really cool stuff.
Usually fabric, notions, patterns, discount coupons and more.

Sounds like fun, doesn't it?
Maybe it's because this was my first box and I was so excited, but it seems like it took
 F-O-R-E-V-E-R
 to get here.
Of course it didn't.
I received the invoice via e-mail on July 16th and received it in the mail July 21st.

It was so worth the wait!

First, look at the adorable little box it comes in.


When you open it this is the first thing you see.


A little clue of what's inside.
 When you turn it over it has coupon codes for purchases from The Fat Quarter Shop.
This month it's 20% off Jelly Rolls or 2 1/2" strips.


Next, is a card giving you information on all the enclosed goodies.


First up is the Petite Shades of Summer  2.5" Rolie Polie valued at $17.98.


Sew pretty....

Next we have the 1" size half square triangle paper valued at $10.98.
Wow, this roll makes 630 half square triangles!


I have never used the half  square triangle paper before so I'm pretty excited to try this out.

Next up is a sampler pack of Magic Pins valued at $12.98.
This is a pack of 19 pins.



Honestly, I'm not sure I would pay $12.98 for 19 pins, but I love that I can sample different types of pins before I buy a whole pack of something I may never use.
So, I'm pretty happy to have a sample of each.

The next item was a bit strange to me until I googled all the many uses.
Hugo's Amazing Tape 1/2" x 16.6 yard roll valued at $7.24.


It's pretty handy stuff.
I'm just afraid once Mr. Fisherman sees all the uses for this amazing tape he will snatch it up and I will never see it again.

Now, on to the patterns included...


OMG! This is so adorable!
It's called Patio Picnic and comes in 2 sizes (lap version and throw version) valued at $9.98.
The pattern is designed to use your Petite Shades Of Summer Rolie Polie and the 1" half square triangle paper.

 Fat Quarter Shop had posted a sneak peek of the July 2020 box where everyone had a chance to guess the theme for this month.
 Several guessed a "Christmas in July" theme.
Personally, I'm happy they chose a summer theme instead of "Christmas in July" theme.

They also include a BOM (block of the month) pattern valued at $4.98.
This is called Greatest Hits Album Quilt.
Track # 4 


Check it out....


Even the inside of the box is cute!

I added up the value of everything included and it came to $64.14.
Not a bad deal for $24.95.
What do you think?

Thanks Deb F. I can't wait to get started. Since the pattern requires a little more fabric than the Rolie Polie I will need to check my stash for something to match.

Deb F said...

Oh, you HAVE the stash!!

Yes Deb F, I do have plenty of stash, but I gotta find something to match from my stash :)
