Back in April,  I attempted to hop on the bandwagon for the Little Box of Figs from Fig Tree & Co., but unfortunately I missed out as the membership was closed. I emailed the wonderful owner, Joanna and asked about being placed on the wait list. Fast forward to June when the boxes were actually going to be mailed out and much to my surprise on the 10th I received an email stating there was an opening and if I wanted to commit to a full year of quarterly surprises I could pay for my first quarter subscription and get my box.

Being the adventurous person that I am I quickly paid for my membership and my bill soon followed and on the 15th I received my first surprise. By the time I received my box, several people had already started posting on Facebook as to what was in there and posts were being made to the blog for Fig Tree & Co as well so I knew some of what would be there.

Now remember I'm new to quilting and as much as I have fallen in love with it and have bought lots of fabric and patterns to make numerous quilts, I'm not sure that these little boxes are worth the money and excitement that people have shown. Maybe by the time I get box #2 I will have a different attitude.

It definitely comes in a "little" box and the whole thing more than fit in a medium size USPS pre-paid box.

The box my "little" surprises came in!

Below are close up pics of all the items included. My favorite is probably the little strawberry charm. The main project in this is for a table runner; however, I don't own a dining room table, so I would never use it, therefore, I don't plan on making it; however, I will be making the little catch all basket as it will look cute on my cutting table.
