Sew Sampler is such a fun box to get every month! I probably won’t make the Verbene as-is. I was thinking of converting it to HSTs instead of the curved pieces. Super pretty fabric!! :-)
Always enjoy your sew sampler box reveals-- you are always so upbeat and enthusiastic! Thank you. Yup-- clam anxiety. I do appreciate they have had us do some new things this year like the diamonds in Peachy Preserves. Since the curves are big, I might try it. Anyway, I always love getting these boxes in the mail. xox
I love this box! I like how FQS is helping us stretch our skills and try some things that are maybe outside our comfort zone. This box seems like a great value. I think we really got our money’s worth. Thanks for the video. I can never wait until my box gets here.
This box is not my jam either. I’ll use the pencil and the rotary cutter but that’s it. Thanks for doing these unboxing videos. I always look forward to your videos.
I have not tried curved piecing, but I look forward to my box coming. Ma couture had a three yard book with fabric cafe, and all of the quilts are curved. She makes using curves in quilts look easy. I may just give it a try.
I was thinking of canceling but I still really like these boxes almost every time. Loving this box too!!!! I’ve been using sewline products for awhile now. They are high quality and good for precision.
Thank you for sharing! I always know you'll get your box before me and enjoy your videos. The curved piecing makes me nervous, but I adore a template and that fabric line is so perfect for fall!
Layer cake lollies is free for everyone on FQS website. I’ve made a couple of lollies quilts as I like the lattice effect. I cancelled my sew sampler in May as I need to use my stash, it’s getting too large. I’ll consider resubscribing in future as I definitely find more boxes I like than not.
I love the fabric but am having a nervous breakdown over curved piecing. I will give it a try because I like to challenge myself. I’m going to watch the video first. Good luck everyone! I absolutely love the sew line pencil. I use one now with black lead and it works excellent.
The chalk pencil is cool. Fabric looks like drapery fabric. Not a fan of the subscription box. Waiting to order one but not sure what box I want yet. I've also been looking at the reviews they are up and down. . But thank you Andrea I really enjoy watching your videos.
I cannot wait to get this box! Love,love ❤, the box! My Godmother Birthday is in October, I did not what get for her birthday present I will make the quilt as her present. Thank you Andrea for sharing, I knew that box was going to be good!
Andrea you should give the curve piecing a try. I did it on a project and I was also scared to death, but if you pin and go slow you will be so amazed with yourself.
Thanks! Always enjoy your unboxings (and seeing your daughter in the background). I loved the fabric and pattern and clam shell ruler, however, I already have the other two items - the main reason why I stopped getting the SS boxes, but I decided to start up again last month.
Sweet! I got my notification today that the box has been sent. I don't have that rotary cutter size or the white mechanical pencil. I love getting notions that I don't own. Andrea! You should wear that shirt when you do a Winner Winner Chicken Dinner. I like the pattern and fabric. Excellent box.
I enjoy your unboxings! I cancelled the subscription this month so it was fun to see what was in it. I am still glad I cancelled, but there’s always a couple of things in the box that are pretty cool so I can see why they are popular.
So mine in about three weeks. I have only just got my 3rd designer bom from fqs yesterday. That fabric is stunning. I love the pencil, also comes with green and pink chalk, awesome. The green is great for darker fabrics. Easy to get replacement chalks. Curved piecing is on my hmmmm, maybe if I feel brave (😮😅) list. Hugs, Chel 🌸
I use those little rotary cutter very often! The blade lasts FOREVER! I really like the fabric. Too much blue for me, but I can figure out how to use it, not on the curved piecing, though! Thanks for the lovely unboxing! Mine should arrive tomorrow, but I couldn't resist!
I looked up on fat quarters shop and they do have a lollies shortcut pattern not the same as what you got in the box but similar and it’s a free PDF if anybody’s interested in it it says shortcut series something new I guess
I think you'd like fqs new pattern release for that fabric. It's called layer cake lily. I immediately thought of this pattern when I saw those beautiful fabrics. Kimberly just put out the video yesterday, and the pattern is free, which is totally awesome! Happy quilting!
Hi here is my suggestion now that u have more time, make one individual curved piece from this as a trial. It is all in the pinning, you may surprise yourself, and at least u can say u tried one block of it. Would love to see this in some quilt pattern u have. Stunning prints.
I know Kimberly showed a clamshell video. Don't remember if it was this template or not. She commented she didn't like curves either because she couldn't sew as fast 🤣🤣 But she did the project & it came out really cute. I didn't realize you could cut orange peels with it as well.
I love the fabric and pencil, but I don’t want to do those curves, either. I just finished a New York Beauty wall hanging and I’m over those curved pieces!!
The bonus lollies pattern is a freebie pattern that they are recommending as an alternative pattern for the box fabric. It’s a shortcut quilt pattern and there’s a video tutorial on the FQS UA-cam channel.
I’m not a fan of weird rulers and templates. Lol. So when you decide how to use that fabric be sure to let us know. I like the fabric but not the pattern so much. I do have one of those white pencils and I love it. I also love a 28mm rotary cutter. So I’m excited to get both of those . And of course, the basket pattern is what I’m really waiting on. Thanks for sharing
I had to reverse and STOP the video to see the curve pieces... took a while. I saw lots of straight lines, but OK the lighter colors inside the squares migjt be curved edges, sheesh! Love the chalk marker
I was sooo looking forward to seeing this box. I suspected it would be Folk and Lore and I selfishly wanted to see you open the fabric! I thought I saw a majority of large-scale print vs. low-scale. What would you say? The pattern looks beautiful but I want to do something simpler. Does the pattern involve applique? Thank you for sharing your box.
I just looked for the completion kit for this box and it $110! They are normally under $30. I get the subscription but for sure won’t be completing this one. I just started the subscription back up because there were so many adorable patterns I was missing. So sad about the price on this one
😂 girl I almost did!! I’ve just Backed up with giveaway packages right now. I’m overwhelmed!! But it def went in the giveaway pile. Maybe you’ll see it in my next live!!
You need to try it. Surfing on the wild side gives us an edge 😉

Always such a good value
The sewline pencils are fab, so fine and accurate, ceramic lead refills also comes in pink and green, easily removed, my go-to marking notion🙌
Nice!!!
I was out of state when this arrived at home. Thanks for the unboxing!
Thanks for watching!
Curves that large are easy sewn on the machine. Nice video
Gorgeous colours in the fabric - I think I might make cushion covers with mine. The small rotary cutters are really useful for dressmaking too. Tfs ❤
Love this box!!! That pattern is so cute….I’ve never tried curved piecing so I would definitely give it a try!!!!
I have curved piecing anxiety….afraid to try it! Been quilting for more than30 years 🤪. Love the fabric!
I love the fabric. I’m gonna try it. lol I’m not a curve fan but I’m gonna try it. I can’t wait for mine to come in! Thanks for the unboxing.
Oh wonderful! You go girl
Got mine today. So excited
Always love your unboxings. I haven't received mine yet but couldn't wait😊
Thank you! 🤗
Love the fabric!!! Can't wait to see what the other 'to chicken to try the clams yet' do with the fabric & goodies!!
Enjoy all your videos you make it fun and xplain good
Thx so much !
that fabric is beautiful! it definately deserves a project 😊
Love that pencil. You can get different color leads to use in it. Very helpful!
This box is not my jam either. I’ll use the pencil and the rotary cutter but that’s it. Thanks for doing these unboxing videos. I always look forward to your videos.
Thxso much!
This is a great box! I love the smaller rotary cutter for FPP. I LOVE these fabrics!!!!
Oh really? I’ll remember that
I can never wait for my box!!!! Giggles.
Not me RUNNING to FQS to order this ala carte! I've been wanting to stretch my skills with more curves! (hopefully will be available that way)
If it’s sold out , check out sew sampler swap on Facebook. People
Sell their boxes
@@ArkansasGals thanks for the tip! Never thought to check there.
You always get your box before I do and I can’t wait so I watch your video. I use that pencil all the time and I love it.
Love the fabric
Thanks for the sneak peek lol mine arrives this coming Friday 😂
The Fabric is so cute 😊

This is a nice box. I don't subscribe to any clubs at this time. I can't afford it. Thank you for sharing this with us.😊
You are so welcome!
It’s ok. I love half the things and I like the patterns and fabric

Great present
That material would look good in that star paper piecing block from FQS. I've wanted to get that smaller rotary cutter for ever!
Andrea you should give the curve piecing a try. I did it on a project and I was also scared to death, but if you pin and go slow you will be so amazed with yourself.

Hey Andrea, interesting pattern, I got this box a couple of years ago for 1 year, received stuff not quilting related, fabric is pretty
I looked up on fat quarters shop and they do have a lollies shortcut pattern not the same as what you got in the box but similar and it’s a free PDF if anybody’s interested in it it says shortcut series something new I guess
Nice patterns

Oooo I’ll check that out!! Thx so much
Ooooo I love it!!! Downloaded. Thx so much
Love the fabrics!!! And the rotary cutter.. I am not confident enough for curved pieces yet!
You can do it, Shannon.

Dang! Mine didn’t come today and I wanted to place an order tonight for one of the flash sale items and I have layer cakes in my cart too.
They might give it to you! In chat or call but that won’t help tonight I guess. After

I think Kimberly Jolly made a clamshell pillow tutorial back in February ? 2024
Yay.

Hi Stella 👋
I am not crazy about this months pattern, but the fabric is pretty! 😊
Love the fabric, but I'm with you, curves too stressful for me 😅
You crack me up! Retired from that! No curves for you. Lol😂
😂
You got this box 5 days before I got mine! What gives? 😂😂
The finishing kit for that was $108 plus…😮
I heard!!

I don’t think there is appliqué. The prints are between small and medium to me.
Very pretty quilt, but….no! Just no!
Why is Stella lurking in the background? 😅
😂 I don’t know what she’s up to
Im not a fan of circles, also. I may give this a go, though, lol.
Go for it!
I looked at the finishing kit for that pattern it cost $110.00. I will be doing something else probably. Quilt is pretty though
That’s a hearty price! I guess bc it’s a quite large size
Love your chicken shirt! Where did you get it
Chicken Luv .com !!
Love the curved pattern, not a fan of the fabric, will probably trade fabric for something else. Thanks for the video!
You’re welcome 😊

It is 9 yards
@@deniseroach1829I get that it’s a larger quilt but I like the smaller ones because they are more affordable to complete
Why don’t you do a give-away for the pattern and the template only? Might make someone, like me, very happy to win it.

Well, I like the chalk pen... glad I stopped my sub. But I enjoy your unboxings. Wonder what MSQ is up to.
Value is there , it is not my jam
Not my favorite box Thanks for video
I do not do templates!!!!! So this box is a bummer. Very disappointed
😢
@@ArkansasGals Not you . This month's box. You are the best
Thx Connie!
The finishing kit for this quilt is $110.98! 😳😳
Holy cow
