On Friday I got my collection of Charm Packs I ordered from the Fat Quarter Shop. That really is a great place to get fabric from. They were very prompt with the service. At first it was to be $15.00 to ship it to Canada and then right away they sent an email to say they were able to send it off for only $9.00 for some reason - so they changed the bill. And it was here in about 3 weeks. Pretty good - all the way from Texas. I definitely will order from them again. I even got myself on their email newsletter.The seven charm packs in the fabric bags were $49.00 - on sale half off. Such a deal. That is only $7.00 each, including the little fabric bag. Which of course we all need more little fabric bags!!
I also ordered a baby quilt charm pack and a civil war charm pack. I had a couple of charm packs already, the Sonnet collection - so now I have two of those, which would be enough for a good sized quilt I think. I also have some yardage of the Chocolat collection, which I would like to use to make another quilt. I will browse around looking for patterns and I think I will plan to take some charm packs to my upcoming 3 day retreat in April. I think the four patch method of Darlene's from Quilting Daze might be what I do with the Sonnet collection.
Oh, you know, they make perfect gifts for your quilting friends - nudge, nudge, wink, wink - LOL What a great find! Darlene is amazing with charm packs. I've never seen anyone do so much with so little! I need at least a half yard to think creatively! Looking forward to seeing your creations! Happy quilting!
ReplyDeleteYummy! I love charm packs! They are great for making scrappy quilts, when you don't have that many scraps :o) And the Fat Quarter Shop really does great service!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I've never seen them in little bags before! How cute! I'll have to try the Fat Quarter Shop.
ReplyDeleteOh man - charm packs and FQ bundles are Quilters Crack for sure -- can't ever pass 'em up!
ReplyDeleteI love the charm packs and I love the Fat Quarter Shop. I get in a terrible lot of trouble there when I window shop online! I agree - their service is great. Currently I'm in their Jelly Roll club - what fun!
ReplyDeleteOh..oh...so cute. I haven't seen them with little bags. I must order some and what a good price.
ReplyDeleteThose are cute little bags for the charms. I am going to avoid going to the fat quater shop because I am trying to avoid buying any fabric right now.
ReplyDeletecharm packs are really a lot of fun to collect and perfect for scrappy quilts-love your new fabric closet by the way! so nice and neat. love your fq drawer-clever of you to have the idea to put that in. Hope Jim is recovering faster rather than slowly-it must be frustrating not to use your right arm
ReplyDeleteOh how gorgeous! I checked out their website when you mentioned placing your order and I was soooo tempted to order them. Now seeing how nice they look I might just head over and see if they still have stocks.
ReplyDeleteWill you use them all in one project or different packs for different things?
fat quarter shop is SO friendly! A great added bonus when you get cute fabric. Enjoy your charm packs...
ReplyDeleteNice these little bags for fabrics.
ReplyDeleteNow I will go to see FAT QUARTER SHOP.

Great charms! Love those little bags. That blue floral one in the back? I bought that fabric at the Uvalde Quilt Show a couple of weekends ago!
