My August 2020 Sew Sampler Box from Fat Quarter Shop arrived today, two whole days before I was expecting it. It's been a tough week, so the minute the USPS truck drove to the next house, I ran outside to the mailbox, ran back in, sliced through the tape, and dug around in the box!

I like to check out the hints and guesses from other recipients when FQS posts it on their blog. I didn't have any ideas for this month's Rise & Shine theme.

I certainly wasn't expecting to be so excited about what I found in the package! Check it out!

Backyard Blooms by Allison Harris for Windham Fabrics Charm Packs - TWO of them! Chickens aren't really my thing, but I love the colors in this line, so bright and happy, and we could all use a little of that lately.

Kimberly Cuts 5 1/2" Square Rotating Cutting Mat, a Fat Quarter Shop Exclusive. I have a rotating cutting mat that's a bit larger, and I love the smaller size of this one. It looks like this one will also be available in a 12 1/2" size!

Lori Holt 5" Crazy Paper! I'm super excited about this. I've wanted to give Lori's Crazy Paper a try since I saw the first version on an FQS Livestream, so I'm happy to be able to give it a go!

Dritz Quilting Betweens Needles - can't have enough needles, can you? :)

Crazy Daisy Quilt Pattern. The star units use the Crazy Paper! I love the way the fabric line pops in this pattern. I'm currently trying not to purchase ALL the fabric, so I probably won't be buying the materials I need to do this project. BUT, I am considering turning the pattern into a table runner. I think that would be a fun sew and a good compromise for my wallet.
