Just (mass)Dropping In With Some Incredible Deals!

It is a bumper week on Massdrop. I'm going to share a few of the drops of notions I use and love myself and fabric I wish I had!  First up is a Clover pin set. You can choose two packages from three options: flower head (I use these for heavier construction like pouches, bags, hemming and for pinning rows of blocks together for transfer from design wall to machine), Patchwork glass head pins (my all time best pins for piecing) or Quilting glass head pins (also fine and excellent, but extra long). I've never met a Clover notion I didn't like and these pins are the best. Whenever I teach, I encourage people to use the fine glass head patchwork pins for accuracy when matching points or locking seams.

The drop is 1/2 way to the lowest price of $12.99 US for two packages. That's a smokin' deal even with our exchange rate (thankfully, our Canadian dollar is on the rise!).

The next awesome drop is for two pair of Karen K. Buckley scissors. If you are like me, you likely have more than enough pairs of scissors, but honestly, the large purple-handled scissors have been a game changer for me since I bought a pair last spring. They have micro-serrations that grip your fabric as they cut and cushy handles perfect if you have arthritic thumbs like me. AMAZING for cutting through multiple layers of batting as well as lightweight slippery fabric like lawn or the pre-washed chambray I just cut out.  All of my current embroidery scissors have dulled at the tip, so I'm going to join this drop for the two small pairs now that the cheapest price has been unlocked and they are 40% off MSRP (this drop is open for 6 more days). Check out the video of Karen introducing her scissors on the drop page.

There are two fabric drops on as well; Lizzy House Butterflies and Denyse Schmidt Franklin + coordinating solids. Both are gorgeous lines that work out to about $2/FQ before shipping.

Massdrop is really working hard to source great deals for our community - they really do listen. Since this giveaway I hosted, they've already offered many of the items that you suggested in the comments! Click through to their site and you'll see many other active drops including thread, a cordless iron, rulers and more.

Disclosure - if you click through from this post, Massdrop will know that I sent you. I am an affiliate and from time to time they send me products to review and host giveaways. I have not received any of the products in this post - I truly do love them and use them myself.  I'm sharing here so you don't miss out.

A Massive Massdrop & More Massive Giveaway!

Last week I received the most incredible box of fabric from the fine folks at Massdrop and I can now tell you about the latest drop going on there. A most massive drop, indeed. It started today at 6:00 a.m. and I am sure it will sell out quickly, so if you're in the market for top quality solid fabric, don't delay!   EDITED: The drop has now sold out but you can still win this box...read on!

I've tried working with solids from many manufacturers, but this is the first time I've had the pleasure of seeing and touching the DS Modern Solids from FreeSpirit Fabrics in person. The colour saturation is incredible and the hand absolutely lovely. While other solids may lack softness, colour depth and/or opacity, this fabric hits a home run in each of those categories.  Admittedly, I have not yet washed it, but I have high hopes for success with this cloth.  Take a look:

The box contains 75 fat quarters, all folded so prettily it will be almost heartbreaking to take them out and start cutting. I mean, couldn't you just turn this baby on it's side and display it in a book case? I have big plans. Huge plans, in fact, for this fabric. I'm issuing a personal challenge to myself to create a quilt using every last colour in this box and piecing it with my Improv Under the Influence technique. I've got my inspiration photo, taken recently on a trip to the Vancouver Art Gallery, and I will set to work just as soon as some other obligated sewing is off the (rather long) list.  To see some beautiful quilts created exclusively with these solids, take a look here.

So head on over to Massdrop and check out the deal...rumour has it if the number of orders climb  high enough, the lowest price will drop to an astonishing $119.95 US!!!!   [Even if you're shopping in Canadian currency, that is a ridonculous deal of about a toonie per FQ.]

What would you say if I told you that you could WIN this entire box? That's right, Massdrop will ship one of these boxes anywhere in the world to one lucky reader of Poppyprint. You are most welcome!! There are two simple ways to enter:

1. Sign up for a Massdrop account by clicking this link and you'll automatically be entered. 

OR (please note that there is one entry per person, so just enter with option 1 or option 2)

2. If you already have a Massdrop account, leave one comment here letting us know what quilting item you would like to see offered on their site. YOUR EMAIL MUST BE LINKED TO YOUR COMMENT, OR YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS LEFT IN YOUR COMMENT! Sorry, but there's no way for us to contact "no reply bloggers", and we'll have to draw another name.

It's an incredible giveaway that will just take seconds to enter. Having a Massdrop account gives you access to super deals, but there is no obligation to buy anything, so I think it's worth a sign up. I've made 3 previous purchases (Liberty tana lawn bundle, Cotton & Steel remix bundles and a non-quilting item as well) and been very happy with them all, as I've been with their top-notch customer service.

Massdrop will randomly select a winner in 5 days' time. GOOD LUCK!!!
