Boom boxes were big in the 80s. The nice thing about the projects in these Happy Boxes is that everything is there: fabric, interfacing, pattern, hardware, everything. You don&#8217;t have to think; you just have to sew. The project has some of the Ruby Star Society novelty prints with roller skates and boom boxes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_55870\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-55870\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220507_080635_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-55870\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220507_080635_wm-sm-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Happy Box candy, patch &amp; miscellanea\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220507_080635_wm-sm-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220507_080635_wm-sm-768x1023.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/20220507_080635_wm-sm.jpg 824w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-55870\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Happy Box candy, patch &amp; miscellanea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There is candy, too.
