When my June Stash Builder Box arrived, I knew it would be filled with lots of quilty goodies. I was not disappointed.
Inside the box, I found 3 fat quarters from the Glint Collection by Cloud 9, a quilt pattern by Lillyella, a block of the month pattern, Aurifil thread, True Grips – non-slip adhesive rings for acrylic rulers, bobbin buddies, a cute Stash Builder Box pin, a coupon code to Sevenly, and a pencil. There was also a little card of inspiration, which reads, “Creativity is intelligence having fun.”
I think the pencil is my favorite. It has a reminder that I’ve needed on many an occasion!
In addition to all these quilty goodies, it feels good to know that the proceeds from each box benefit children in need. This month’s box benefits foster care children served through the My Stuff Bags Foundation.

I couldn’t wait to get started making something with the fabrics.
I’ve been in need of a new table runner and so I used the block of the month pattern – Indian Hatchet – to make blocks with an off-white center. I added a bit of aqua, yellow, gray and pink fabrics from my stash.
I wanted to play a bit with the block so I deconstructed the block into its four main sections and rearranged them to make an X and O design.
For the quilting, I went with straight lines.
I had a little fun with improv on the back. This way I can flip the runner for a whole new look.
I’m thrilled with how my table runner came out. The first thing my daughter said when she saw the finished runner was, “Oh, that’s so pretty!” Bless her heart, she knows how to make her mama feel all warm and fuzzy!

Along with some beautiful fabric precuts, I would love to see quilting notions such as titanium (or other) machine needles, rotary cutting blades, wonderful thread in beautiful colors and different weights, rulers (such as Bloc-Loc), a pair of those beautiful snipping scissors, quilt marking pens, Wonder Clips in different colors, beaded stilettos, sewing themed flash drives, self threading hand needles, small bottles of Best Press. Since I rarely use quilt patterns, that would be the least thing that I would want in my box unless it is the latest popular got to have patter.

Your quilts are gorgeous and so is your quilting!! Love them both. I make mostly children’s quilts and your X and O quilt would be sweet for a child’s quilt.
As for what I would like in the box? I confess to looking at what Mary D wrote and that’s right up my alley. Fabric of course, rotary cutter blades, thread and yes to those cute little scissors. I lost my cute little scissors in a move. I prefer to do my own thing when making quilts so I wouldn’t desire a pattern. Often times when I’m working on a quilt it takes on it’s own direction. It’s not unusual for me to change my mind along the way (sometimes several times) and the quilt could end up differently than the original thought.
fabric is the most important part! 🙂 thanks!

I would so love to win a Stash Builder Box, especially since subscribing at this time is cost prohibitive for me. What would I love to find inside? Perhaps some low volume for a new project I have in mind, or a quilting tool I’ve never seen that solves all my quilty problems! Thanks for the opportunity!
And I follow you on Bloglovin’ I’d follow you on Instagram too, but I’m trying to keep my social media streamlined!
Pretty fabric and Aurifil thread would be at the top of my list!
I think I’d want more generic things that would please a greater audience. In some of these different subscription boxes, I’ve seen patterns I would NEVER want to sew because they’re too cutesy. I think it needs to appeal to a much wider audience, or they need to really establish a style. Likewise, I think the fabrics included should be more generic–good basics that go with lots of styles. It makes me nervous to subscribe because I would feel like it was a waste of money if I got a pile of fabric and a pattern I would never ever want. Specialty rulers or notions that are really helpful that people might not know about would be cool, especially if they went with the pattern.
