Dritz Quilting 50 Curved Basting Pins - Value $3.99
Curved basting pins are really handy when quilting. They are the perfect tool to keep all of your layers together, without worrying about a pin slipping out. I was happy to receive these! They'll be quite helpful when I finish the table runner that was included as a pattern this month.
Small Quilt Pattern from Joan Ford's Snap Sack Series - Value $8.00?
I couldn't find this exact pattern online, but this is a small quilt pattern that measures 17 by 19 inches when finished. I'm still enough of a beginner that I need more detail than this pattern offers, but maybe I'll be able to complete it one day!
ABC Pocket Guide - Home Sewing Machine Needles - Value $4.95
This is a little pocket guide that has quite a bit of information about sewing machine needles.
I'm just going to be real: I don't see the point of this book. You can find most of this information on the internet - or if you're really lost you can ask your friendly quilt/craft store employee. I can see some of the not-so-tech-savvy ladies enjoying this, but it's not my favorite item in the parcel.
Timeless Treasure's Tribeca Designs Collection Fabric - Value $20.00?
I couldn't find these exact patterns online but they are so bright and springy! These cotton fabrics are perfect for March or even Easter. I really love that Patchwork Parcel labels their fabric cuts for the pattern that they've included each month. There's no guesswork involved!
Warm and Natural by the Warm Company Quilt Batting - Value $7.00?
This batting is extremely soft and feels like it would be quite warm if included in a quilt. For the table runner, it will be nice, since it is thick and will cause the runner to stand up from the table a bit! I am really glad to have been introduced to this brand since it would be perfect for a future quilt batting.
Simply a Pleasure by Nicole Chambers- Kaya - Value $6.63
The design of this pattern is really cool. I like all of the geometrics and I really love the fabric they chose to display the pattern on the front.
You'll see that the labeled fabric above matches up with the fabric listed on the back of the Table Runner. Again, this is really handy and removes any chance that I'll mess up and cut the wrong fabric!
Here's the start of my table runner. I'm starting by cutting out my fabric, which I tend to screw up on the most! This is fabric A, so I've cut it into 7 1/4 inch wide strips, and then squared them off into 7 1/4 inch wide squares.
Verdict: The value on this is a bit nebulous as I had to guess on a few of the items included. If you total up my estimates, the parcel comes out to about $51. I think that is a reasonable guess. I was a little underwhelmed for my first month of Patchwork Parcel, but then I realized how easy they make the fabric, batting, and pattern for you. It's really a no-thought project for someone that is just starting to quilt. I like the idea!
The pattern of the fabric was perfect for spring, so I think this was a hit all the way around. I hope I can finish this in time for Easter!
