🎉 Black Friday & Cyber Monday Haul - Fat Quarter Shop Unboxing! 🎉

[@patriciamccoppin6852]

I purchased a fat quarter bundle and some other fabric. My goal for this year was to work on my UFOs. I completed several things on that list. This new year I want to challenge myself to use up some of my scraps. I am busting at the seams with scraps. Great video!

[@pickinstitches]

That’s a great goal for the New Year! I need to make some super scrappy quilts this year too!

That is a great idea to use a consistent white background for all projects.

[@pickinstitches]

@@pamyaun936 thank you! Helps me save some $$ for sure!

I added a huge pile of Liberty fabrics to my stash with this sale. So beautiful!

[@pickinstitches]

Yay! It was a great sale, but kind of snuck up on me :)

Fun Sale Mail !! 😊 Great idea to pick a background fabric to use all the time!! 🤍

[@pickinstitches]

It’s my go-to for almost every project I make! a little boring, but saves me so much time and $$.

I went Lori Holt template crazy and literally bought every set on Black Friday. That will keep me busy for quite a while lol.

[@pickinstitches]

Hahaha! I love it! I can’t wait to see what you make with them!

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

[@pickinstitches]

You're welcome! I hope you got some great deals!

[@brendaryan306]

Did you get the free grab bag? Great idea with the bolt of background fabric on hand.

[@pickinstitches]

@@brendaryan306 I didn't! Guess I missed out!

[@marytillman372]

OMG I bought way more stuff than you did! LOL

[@pickinstitches]

I tried to go easy!!

[@rosehixon2790]

If I make a video to unpack the things that I buy from the different suppliers, would you watch it?

[@pickinstitches]

That is a great place to start!

I didn’t get in on this sale I had already placed an order with the buy 2 jolly bars get the free book. What do you do with all your see sampler quilts? I had to quit my membership I had to many piling up.

[@pickinstitches]

@jeanniestaley2685 so there are tons of charities that take quills. I'm a guild member at Village Quilters of Loudon County. But Operation Linus is nation wide I think. Ages ago Hubby asked me how many quilts did I need to make...this is my R&R. I make them for me, so deciding to share them is easy. And as soon as you decide to donate all your SsQuilts you will never be disappointed in a box again. If you love it keep it, If not sew it and learn something new and give it away!

If you do lap size quilts check with the local hospice companies. I work for one and we can use all we can get. Especially themes like wilderness, wildlife, sports, etc. we get more of the flowers, pastels. They are prayer or memory quilts. We try to match them up to the patients taste and then the family can keep them. Also check with the fire and police departments. They can give them to traumatized individuals. Especially kids. Even the VA may accept them.

@@pickinstitches I send mine out to be quilted so it gets so expensive to think of giving away. I just got a new embroidery machine I can do my own on so maybe if I get some done that way I can. I live in a rural area I don’t have any guilds to belong to. Thanks for the idea. I do love the jolly box this year.
