Modern Quilter’s Box – May 2020<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As I mentioned when I received my first subscription box<\/a>, Modern Handmade<\/a> is one of my favorite shops. Because of shipping delays, I received another box a few days ago. I really wanted it to come and couldn’t really wait. I don’t know how I will wait until the end of June.<\/p>\n

I am much more enthusiastic about this box than the first one. As soon as I opened it, I saw the coneflower fabric and was excited. I loved the previous version of that fabric, especially in flannel for receiving blankets<\/a>. The fabrics are from Anna Maria Horner’s Conservatory and Hindsight collections. The colors are mostly, not colors I would choose, but I like them. I especially like the combination and may need to add some solids or tone on tones to use them together.<\/p>\n

2 3\/4 yards of fabric must be added to my spreadsheet, but I like this fabric and am already trying to think of a use for it that I will enjoy. Perhaps I will center one of the coneflowers on a Cotton Candy pouch<\/a>? It is a good pattern for showcasing large motifs. I need another pouch like I need a hole in my head, but at the moment I can’t think of another project that would showcase the fabric.<\/p>\n

I usually drink hot cocoa in the afternoon (I would be an awful Englishwoman!) when I want a hot drink. I will have to switch to tea to use up some of the teas I have been receiving in these boxes.<\/p>\n

\"Patterns<\/a>
Patterns from May 2020 Modern Quilter’s Box<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The quilt patterns are good for using up large prints, but they are not very interesting. I’ll have to look at them more closely and see if making a quick quilt with some of the fabrics would be satisfying. I don’t want to use up the fabric just to use it. Some of it I really like and would like to be able to see it  in my house.<\/p>\n

The Market Bag is interesting. I have one in my Minikins patterns, but it might be worthwhile to try it for one of the raffle baskets. It takes a 1 1\/2 yards, so it would offset some of the acquisitions I have been making lately.<\/p>\n

It is fun to receive a box like this even if I don’t need the items in it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
