Unboxing Quilt The North

On July 1, preorders began for a new Canadian subscription box. It promised to come every 3 months, and with most everything you need to make a small quilt from a Canadian designer. My first box came last week, so I thought I would do an "unboxing".

The box took a bit of a tour, travelling 800 km to get to me from a starting point about 40 km away. Let me show you.

The box is really nice, in bright red with white moose, maple leaves, maple keys and trillium. 

Custom printed tissue on the inside.

This month's pattern is by Leanne Parsons of Newfoundland and Labrador.

The fabric is from Northcott, a Canadian fabric company. There is enough to make the top, back and binding for a 30" quilt.

And there is more!

There is a bonus pattern for a quilt block, if you want to make a Canadian quilt, as you go along.

The bonus patterns are from Monika Henry of Penny Spool Quilts. Monika is also the curator of the subscription boxes.

We also got a couple of goodies from NL.

There is an artist card from Leanne with a pattern for a maple leaf block on the back, a larger card telling us about Leanne and her work.

I love the little art print of a puffin. The artist is Amber McLure Hutton. Someday I want to go to Newfoundland and see the puffins.

There is also a packet of Pineapple Crush drink mix, apparently popular in Newfoundland.

The quilt looks like lots of fun, and good practice. I need to do the cutting then I think I can start doing some leaders and enders. 

If you would like to try the box, you can check out the website.
