Read MoreMaxie Mail October Reveal!
Are you ready? Spoiler alert: If you want to be surprised when your October Maxie Mail Box arrives, don't watch the reveal video below!! And remember, the deadline to receive October's box is tomorrow, October 20. Subscriptions received after tomorrow will receive November's box!
As promised, I'm sharing October's contents prior to shipment so that all can see the value included in each box. We are starting off with a small project, but the box is packed with great notions and information in the tutorial inside the Member's Only page. This month's project will teach (among other things!) mitering a 120° angle, and perfect machine stitched binding! I think you'll love it!
If you haven't subscribed, please join us! Here is an excerpt from Bonnie Christine's (my daughter's) current blog post, and I couldn't have said it better myself:
What's special about this sewing box? I'm so glad you asked!
- The purpose of the box is to help you be successful in your sewing room. No more UFPs (unfinished projects), no more frustrations in trying to figure out a project. Can I get an amen?
- By working through each box, you'll be growing your sewing skill set. Each month you'll learn a new technique that you'll be able to use for projects for the rest of your sewing life!
- Subscribers will get access to a member's only portal where they'll find exclusive content to support that month's box each and every month. Think patterns, video tutorials and more!
- Projects will use an assortment of modern fabrics exclusively from Art Gallery Fabrics, the highest quality pima cotton in the industry.
- Each project box will include helpful tools, notions and a special treat just for you.
- Boxes make great gifts and a fun opportunity to host a ladies sewing night each month!
I hope we will be stitching together soon! Thanks for visiting! Happy Sewing and blessings in your sewing room.

Maxie Mail Subscription Sewing Box is Here!
You probably know how passionate I am about sewing, and even more so about sharing that love of sewing and the benefits it brings, not only to our souls, but to those that we love. I understand what expressing this inspiration does for us, and that we are fulfilling an innate need to create when we work with our hands. So this project comes from an anticipated plan to share with you in such a way that will nurture that creativity inside you and help build skills that will give you the confidence to tackle anything your sewing heart desires!
Maxie Mail is a subscription box for sewists that comes right to your door every month, filled to the brim with happiness that will include fabrics, patterns, new ideas and tools to help you be successful in your sewing room. But perhaps most importantly, my motivation for this box is to sweeten your skills month to month, growing your knowledge and self assurance! There will even be something personal tucked inside, just to celebrate you! And if you subscribe before October 16, I’ll include one of my favorite notions in your box!
What's in the box? Having owned a quilt shop for over 12 years, I know the value of having the best fabric, quality tools and notions, well composed patterns and, of course, good instruction through either written or video tutorials. My box is packed with all of the above, and will include a password to the "Members Only" section where you'll find even more information, available exclusively to subscribers! Hop on over to the Maxie Mail Subscription Box page to read more about it and get started! It's as easy as 1, 2, 3!
Let's celebrate YOU! You get a value-packed surprise once a month, filled with something wonderful, easy enough for beginners yet sophisticated enough for the more experienced.
Thanks for visiting! Happy Sewing and God bless! Maxie
Another Go-around with the Honey Pot Quilt Kits!
I'm so happy to say that I have restocked my supply of Honey Pot Quilt Kits! And the best part of this kit is that it's completely pre-cut for you with my Accuquilt die cutting machine! Hexagons aren't all that fun to cut out, and when you need 257 of them, pre-cut is the only way to go, right? And another wonderful thing about this quilt is that there are no blocks to piece! I love one-patch quilts for that reason. There is even a video tutorial to help you along the way, in which I share my very easy, fail-proof method of sewing "Y" seams! You can view my video in my original blog post.
The photo below shows the pattern front in the Spring version of Bonnie Christine's fabric line, "Sweet as Honey". Since most of those fabrics are unavailable, I have made two color choices from the "Autumn Harvest" colors in that line, and from her newer line, "Forest Floor". And those hexie edges are not bound with traditional binding; they are faced with backing fabric for a smooth, easy finish!
Pretty fabrics = pretty quilt! Don't be afraid to try "Y" seams! Hop on over to my video and check it out!
Thanks for visiting! Happy sewing and God bless!
