What’s In The Box? November 26, 2025
Happy Thanksgiving from Canary Quilts!
This week’s “What’s In The Box” is a little different — it’s part unboxing, part sewing-table catch-up, and part holiday prep as I get ready to quilt several projects before Christmas. Even though it wasn’t a huge box-opening week, I still had plenty of fun things to share!

Mystery Boxes Await!
It’s that time again — time to peek inside the latest goodies on my sewing table and see what quilting treasures arrived this week! ✂️ In my What’s In The Box! November 26, 2025 video, I’m sharing a mix of new fabric arrivals, subscription boxes, and wide backs that are helping me get ready for the holiday quilting season. 🎄✨
Backing Fabric Delight
🎄 Christmas Quilt Backings
I ordered several wide-backs from Backside Fabrics — all budget-friendly in the $15–$17/yard range — to finish FOUR Christmas quilts:
-
Two Fat Quarter Shop Christmas patterns from this year and last year
-
My 2024 Jolly Box Snowman Quilt
-
A large Annie’s Attic Christmas quilt I finished with my mom
The vintage-style Christmas wide back might just tie all four quilts together beautifully.
🧵 More Wide Backs
I also grabbed:
-
Vibe in Charcoal as the backing for my Mystery 500 quilt
-
A bright medallion wide-back for my So Sampler summer lap quilt
-
Another Vibe wide-back for my Nocturnal Soul Quilt
Backings = progress, and progress feels great!
Last Bundle!
🎨 Eclectic Elements – Final Release of the Year
The last Tim Holtz Eclectic Elements bundle arrived — the multicolor palette!
I’ll be using these gorgeous prints to finish my Steampunk quilt from Pictures Boutique.
Think paint strokes, tickets, stamps, ombrés — so good!
