Do you love notions?… I have to admit with as much as I am trying to be a tad more minimal I just love the creative energy that comes from seeing what gadgets people have created to make quilting and sewing more fast, fun and freaking fabulous.
Before I start showing you the fun just a reminder that you will want to leave a comment on today’s post as well as the one that will appear on Wednesday… On FRIDAY I will announce this week’s winner. Prize boxes will not go out until the end of the month since some of our participants have been so kind as to send notions for all 4 of our winners but I don’t want the cat out of the bag too soon… so we will save all the prizes to ship at one time… got it??
Winners MUST check in within 48hour of their name being announced on the BAQS FB page on each Friday or we will pick another winner.
Also keep an eye open for livecast videos that will be popping up on FB that will show some of our prizes in action!
Ok…. ready?
*******************************************
Our first notion is totally new to me and is from the good folks at Nobel Notions. They are new to the industry but what a great start! I am loving their Sew Stack boxes! Perfect for onsite or travel storage these boxes have a soft peach-skin feel, tight lids and customized storage for notions, bobbins, spools and even sewing machine feet! Check out the video below and catch me this week Livecast on the FB BAQS page showing these off! Each of our winners will be getting a product from the Sew Stack product line!

Next Up… The Sunflower Thread Cutter.
I think we all know that chain piecing can make for some mighty fast sewing but then comes the cutting apart of all the pieces.. well this little gadget makes it smooth and easy! With a sharp little blade embedded in the plastic body, your hands are safe as you quickly cut apart your chain piecing! These are carried at lots of quilt shops and of course you can get them from Sunflower Quilts as well! Check out the video HERE and see how fast and easy this notion works!

The thread cutter would be soooo helpful for those mega long chain pieced blocks, woot woot!! Excellent idea!!
Fantastic video feeds! Informative and fun! Any and all notions are candy to me. Makes quilting more fun and easy! Thanks!
Both look really neat. I do think the thread cutter would get lots of use in my sewing classroom! The kids would love it and it would be safe!
I could use the Thread Stacker for sure. I need several for assorted things.
Love the Sew Stack ! Hey Maddy, if I win you dont need to mail my fabulous gifts to Canada ….. I will come to the US this winter to pick it up. 😁
Both of these would be a welcome addition to my sewing space.
I am truly a notions freak… buy in a good way! I love this sew stack, love the bobbin keeper and have had a sunflower cutter…but at a class it grew legs and walked away… so I definitely need a new one of those! Great notions make quilting so much more fun!
I love both notions, but I really like the thread cutter idea. My scissors wanders but at his may stay right next to the machine!!
At this point, anything that will help organize is a HUGE plus for me! Don’t have a lot of presser feet but I have all sorts of gadgets…I must be a sucker for gadgets, my kitchen drawers are full too.
I received the Sunflower cutter from Quilty Box and love it and use it all the time! Would love one of those storage boxes, though, particularly for carting around thread and bobbins.
Never enough notions…Both are great.. IF I had to pick one …would be the Sunflower thread cutter…
Love gadgets and storage ideas!
I’ve never seen the thread cutter before, looks like a must have for the sewing room
Aren’t all quilters ‘notions nerds?’ Hard to resist either of these, but if I have to choose, it’s the Sew Stackers I want most to store all my different Bernie’s feet!
Sewstack Sewstack!
Love the see stack!
I love the thread cutter SO much. I already have one of them! I think the storage boxes would be GREAT for travel. I went to twelve retreats last year and am on target to do that many (or more) this year. I certainly could use the travel boxes. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win them; they look fabulous.
I was just wishing for a thread cutter!!!
I’d have more use for the thread cutter, but the foot organization box is intriguing. I am a sucker for notions.
Both should be in every sewing room. I LOVE Noble Notions bobbin /thread storage containers would love to have a machine foot storage one.
I love Noble Motions products. I have a bobbin storage system. But I would LOVE one for each of my machines. I need organization in my life. And the foot storage unit would be awesome for my vintage machine with all its large feet.
The Sunflower cutter would be so useful.
They are both wonderful but the thread cutter would be most useful to me right at this moment. That said, there is never a bad time for organizing threads
Sew Stack would be a welcome addition to my sewing room and organization.
Yes please, I love them all!
Those Sew Stack boxes are so attractive! Makes me have visions of organization, or maybe delusions is a better word! Can’t get enough of stuff like this…
I love the machine feet box!
My first addiction is fabric. My second is organizing crap. The Container Store is like a drug. Those amazing pretty boxes would make me weep with organization joy!!
I have the thread cutter. My suggestion would be that they need to give it a little more weight – the non-skid feet aren’t enough to keep it in place for me.
Storage for sewing machine feet. Hmm. I need that.
I’m always look for new gadgets, specially organizers.
The thread cutter would be a great addition! I friend gave me a homemade one using a seam ripper, but it points straight up and I could easily “rip” my hand.
I think the Sew Stack storage would be wonderful to help tame my sewing area.
Those are both pretty awesome. The sewing stack looks more useful in my sewing space. Way to many bits and pieces laying around.
The Sunflower thread cutter, both actually!
Wow very nice
I’ll admit to being a notion hoarder haha. I’d love tart sunflower cutter though for chain piecing cutting – looks pretty slick!
I follow Noble Notions on Instagram. I do like the thread cutter!
I need a sunflower thread cutter so badly! I have been putting my seam ripper into a binder clip to stand it up and someone is going to get hurt!
A cutter would help ease the tediousness of clipping threads!
I love both! So if I win one I’m going to end up buying the other one…
Love the stacking organizer! With limited space, I need as much stacking as possible!! Great name and colors!
Holy smoke! These are great! Any one of them would be great, especially the thread cutter!
These are both bad-ass and definitely worth adding to your studio!
I like love boxes.
ooh – the thread cutter would be AWESOME! I am a chain piecer whenever possible, but hate cutting them apart…
The thread cutter would be great since I always chain piece but the stacking Sew Stacks look like they would be great to travel with!
I would love a Sew Stack to help corral notions in my sewing room.
I have something similar to the Sunflower thread cutter and I have to say that it is super handy– especially when chain piecing.
Who doesn’t love notions? They make life soooo easy! I’d like either one and will probably purchase a Sew Stack if I don’t win. I have many attachments that I can never seem to find when I need them…I have to search in a several places to find them….these sew stackers would make things easy! Thanks for the chance to win!
The Sunflower Thread Cutter would be a welcome addition to my sewing room tools!
