[17]
i got my sew sampler box hey friends
[19]
welcome back to my sewing room my name
[21]
is becca and in today's video we're
[22]
gonna dive into the april 2021 so
[24]
sampler box from fat quarter shop
[26]
this is a monthly sewing slash quilting
[28]
subscription box it has
[30]
some notions a pattern a block of the
[32]
month and
[33]
of course some fabric the retail price
[35]
on this is just right around 30 bucks
[37]
which includes my shipping and handling
[39]
within the united states and
[41]
it's a good value for the items that you
[42]
get inside so let's dive in and see what
[44]
we got
[44]
okay so the tape has been cut there is
[47]
our
[48]
peak the theme this month is town
[51]
square on the back side of this card
[53]
there's actually not a coupon code
[54]
because they are advertising
[56]
the quilt kit for the next up block of
[59]
the month quilt along
[60]
taking a look at it down here we are
[61]
going to do a quilt along called bright
[63]
side and it's going to feature the happy
[65]
days fabric by sherry mcconnell
[67]
and all of the patterns are written by
[68]
sherry mcconnell as well if you don't
[70]
know what this is it's basically a 12
[71]
month block of the month program
[73]
that's included in your sew sampler box
[75]
it starts in april
[76]
and ends in march of the following year
[79]
and what's really cool about this is you
[81]
get 12 blocks and at the end of the
[82]
program in march
[84]
with your 12th block you also get a
[85]
pattern for your finishing
[87]
kit instructions so you can put all
[89]
those blocks together into a finished
[91]
quilt
[91]
i have actually not made any of the
[93]
sew-alongs but i'm determined
[95]
to do this one and i already bought the
[98]
quilt cut
[99]
from fat quarter shop so
[102]
let's hope i get it done all right let's
[104]
take a look at the contents inside the
[106]
box oh my goodness i am
[107]
super excited i see the fabric already
[110]
and
[112]
i love it let's see how the rest of the
[113]
box stacks up first thing that we have
[116]
is our pamphlet that tells us all about
[117]
all of the items that are down inside
[118]
the box this month
[119]
i'm going to keep that set aside so that
[121]
i can reference it
[122]
a little bit later the first notion that
[125]
we have is a 12
[126]
pack of keep it quilty label set taking
[129]
a closer look at those tags this is what
[131]
they look like they are completely woven
[133]
they are sew in and they do have two
[135]
sides
[136]
you have one that has a little pin
[137]
cushion on it and on the back it has
[139]
some flying geese it says on point and
[141]
it says stitch
[142]
colors on these are actually really cute
[144]
we have one that has
[146]
a spool of thread with a needle through
[148]
it
[149]
and on the back it has a half square
[150]
triangle it says sew blocks
[152]
here's the world's smallest iron on the
[155]
back
[156]
side of it is a nine patch it says
[157]
patchwork width of fabric or wof
[161]
or woof and then of course everyone's
[163]
favorite a sewing machine
[164]
and on the back you have a pinwheel and
[167]
it says
[167]
inch quarter inch seam i'll be honest
[170]
i'm probably not going to use these
[171]
labels
[172]
they are super cute but i really love
[175]
sweet water labels and for that reason
[177]
these will probably go
[178]
in a quilty giveaway if you are
[180]
interested in winning quilty prizes for
[182]

[195]

[198]

[199]
in the first comment below this video i
[201]

[203]

[205]
we have a little pad of foundation paper
[207]

[208]
a three inch square in a square block
[212]
this is what that pad of paper looks
[213]
like and basically it's got
[215]
the same instructions on every single
[218]
piece of paper
[220]
you can use this to make perfect
[223]
three inch square and a square blocks i
[226]
love foundation paper piecing and i
[229]
really like it when the patterns are a
[230]
little bit simpler
[231]
so these pads of paper are starting to
[234]
really appeal to me
[235]
the retail value of this item is 7.48
[238]

[241]

[322]

[324]
lots of really pretty artwork on here
[326]
i'm loving this aqua and gray
[327]
combination
[328]
they've taken it home with a gray zipper
[330]
the bag opens up
[332]
pretty good size i really kind of love
[334]
this see it's a decent size look at it
[336]
compared to my face i like it it's going
[338]
to be able to hold
[339]
a decent bit of stuff this is a
[342]
fat quarter shop exclusive which means
[344]
you're only going to be able to get this
[345]
at fat quarter shop
[346]
and so sampler members got it before
[349]
they started selling it on their website
[351]
so
[351]
if you want one of these you know where
[353]
to pick one up our pattern retails for
[355]
9.98
[356]
and it is the star flower quilt pattern
[359]
there's two size options on this
[361]
taking a look down here this is kind of
[362]
what the block is going to look like
[364]
what the project will be
[365]
on the back side they give you fabric
[367]
requirements to make a quilt
[369]
which is going to measure 44 inches by
[371]
63 and a half inches
[373]
or table runners which will measure at
[376]
23 inches by 63 and a half inches
[380]
you will need the fabric that is in your
[381]
box and the foundation paper but then
[384]
you're gonna need to bring
[385]
some extra fabric to the table to do
[387]
this if you want to make a set of three
[390]
table runners you will need three and
[391]
two
[392]
two thirds yards of background one and a
[394]
quarter yards for your inner borders
[396]
and one and a quarter yards for your
[398]
binding plus your batting and your
[399]
backing
[400]
if you're gonna make the quilt top you
[402]
need two and three-eighths
[404]
yards for your background five-eighths
[405]
of a yard for your inner border and 5 8
[407]
of a yard for
[408]
your binding i can't show you all the
[410]
pages inside the pattern because that
[412]
wouldn't be fair
[413]
but what i can do is show you that the
[415]
inside
[416]
i'll just show you these two pages
[418]
you've got full color illustrations a
[420]
nice
[420]
easy to read font and at the back you
[423]
even
[424]
have see if i can flip to it a couple of
[426]
empty pages for some notes which i
[428]
really appreciate because sometimes
[431]
things that the pattern designer wrote
[433]
in here
[433]
don't make sense to my brain so having
[435]
some room to jot down some notes in the
[437]
margin or in the back
[438]
pages of a pattern is super appreciated
[441]
that block of the month program that i
[442]
mentioned at the beginning of this video
[444]
officially kicks off this month and this
[446]
is what our pattern looks like this is
[448]
block number one for the bright side
[450]
quilt along
[451]
my hand is covering up the cutting
[453]
instructions because i can't give that
[454]
away
[455]
but this is what the block is gonna look
[457]
like way
[458]
up here it's basically like a little
[460]
nine patch
[461]
in the center of a pinwheel i think
[463]
that's really cute
[465]
and once i get my fabric kit from fat
[469]
quarter shop
[470]
i'll actually do this so cool
[473]
really excited to actually do the block
[474]
of the month if you are not a sew
[476]
sampler member and you want to do this
[478]
block of the month program
[479]
don't worry that quarter shop has you
[480]
covered they
[482]
sell these for 4.98 per pattern so each
[485]
month you can just hop on their website
[487]
buy that month's pattern for 4.98
[490]
and at the end of the year you'll have a
[492]
finished quilt top just like me
[494]
as long as i do it we'll see our fabric
[497]
this month is a six piece fat quarter
[499]
bundle that retails for 18.98
[501]
and it features the sunday stroll fabric
[504]
by bonnie and camille and it is
[505]
absolutely gorgeous i am so excited to
[507]
have this
[508]
let's take a look down here and i'll
[509]
show you each of the fat quarters the
[510]
first fabric we have
[512]
is the main focal print it's got some
[514]
aqua
[515]
and red pink flowers on a dark blue
[518]
background
[520]
our second fat quarter has a pink
[523]
lattice background with some of those
[524]
red flowers
[525]
and i really love this third one i love
[528]
it
[528]
when bonnie and camille
[532]
use this kind of charcoaly background
[535]
it's not black but it's not gray it's
[537]
just really
[538]
nice i'm loving this print but the next
[540]
one is probably going to be one of my
[542]
favorites because i have
[544]
on a fiction or affinity in fiction
[546]
what's the word addiction maybe
[548]
i obsess about fabric with strawberries
[551]
on it
[552]
and we have a very
[555]
beautiful fabric with some really cute
[558]
strawberries on it i'm loving that print
[561]
we have a very pretty blender
[564]
this is an aqua with some white polka
[566]
dots and then
[568]
of course we gotta have some nice
[570]
gingham in those red colors by bonnie
[572]
and camille and let me just fan this out
[573]
for you
[574]
so you can really appreciate how nicely
[577]
all of these fabrics are going to work
[578]
together
[580]
isn't that just absolutely stunning i'm
[583]
loving this bundle i can't wait to cut
[586]
into it and start using it
