Updated: Giveaway Closed! Jessica Shea won the bundle. I want to thank you for playing. It is really enjoyable and fun to see so many of us at different stages of life. There’s such a diverse group of us! We range from buying school supplies for oneself, to buying school supplies for younger children, to those of us shelling out big dollars for college. Every time I ask a question for a giveaway, I think the idea of asking a question is silly, but then I do so enjoy getting to know you all. So, I thank you for taking the extra time to share a bit about yourself.

What a great response on this bundle. Thank you!

    Love your blog full of rainbows. Thanks to you and FQS for this give away! My hand is up in the air!

  6. Tiffany says

    I’ve been super lucky for the past few years. My oldest are twins and they are only in pre-k this year, so back to school shopping is pretty minimal anyway. I have a dear friend with twins two years older than mine who passes down their clothes to us. They are all in excellent condition and so so cute! So when it’s time for back to school shopping, we just open up the next box and it’s like Christmas!
    Which is a good thing because I’m a sucker for new school clothes and I would spend WAAAY too much money.

  8. Rita Long says

    School shopping is always stressful. Trying to get everything together for three children is challenging and expensive. I always liked new pencils and paper.

  9. Kathy H says

    Ohhh…these FQs are YUMMY! I don’t have any kiddos to buy supplies for, so I buy supplies and donate them (through my day job). I just love buying new crayons! Sometimes I open the box just to make sure they are all pointy perfect and in order. Puts a smile on my face just thinking about it…kinda like this Paintbox fabrics line, can hardly wait for it to show up! Thanks so much to FQS for the give-away! 🙂

  12. Brenda P says

    Since I have no kids I will have to say when I was a kid my most favorite back to school items were my new pencil box and new spiral notebooks I loved all those clean crisp pages just waiting for me to fill them up with notes !!

  15. amy says

    I no longer have to do back to school shopping but when I did, shiny new pencils and pencil boxes were tops with my kids!

  17. Allison CB says

    My youngest is finally old enough to buy his own supplies (with my money of course!) LOL but I used to love to buy new colored pencils each year!

  20. MoeWest says

    I used to love back-to-school shopping but I’m a Grandma now and don’t have to do it. I still like the sales on office and craft supplies.

  24. Anne D says

    It is nearly spring here and we are looking forward to the end of the school year. I love stationary shops like typo and kikki k and shop at them all year round. Thanks for a great giveaway, the fabric is gorgeous.

  25. lee says

    I do not like shopping in general but school shopping I find stressful. I do like journals or sketch pads so that would by what I would like the most!

  29. LINDA says

    HI, our Children+Grandchildren are grown now; remember neat memories of shopping with them for school supplies! They and I love the new pens and pencils best; clean clean white paper is very nice too! Thank You for a Great Giveaway !

  32. Jen Dansie says

    I have two teen boys and I’m not much of a shopper, online suits me better! Thanks for the giveaway , we can never have too much fabric…..right?

  36. Brenda Pedersen says

    My favorite school supply was the crayons…. Love the fabric bundle as it reminds me of all of the colors in the crayon box!!

  38. Donna M. says

    Great and generous giveaway! I don’t have anyone returning to school, but I love office and school supplies generally..

  40. camille Turner says

    Luckily my 3 boys are all grown now and I don’t have to school shop! It wasn’t my favorite thing to do though! If I had to say what my favorite thing to buy was….clothes!

  43. Emilee says

    Lovely bundle! I actually have two favorites-a new notebook (college ruled is my fave) and a new box of Crayola crayons!) But honestly I find it all so fun!

  45. Evelyn says

    Since my kids are well out of school, my back to school shopping consists of buying myself fabric, of course! Love the colors in the fat quarters.

  49. Susan K says

    I love school supplies as long as they’re pens, pencils, markers, or paints in lots of colors. I like graph paper and notebooks with narrow lines. My boys are all grown now but I still enjoy going to a school supply sale to smell the crayons and buy the rainbows!

  51. Sandy A in St. Louis says

    I don’t have any kids, so I don’t do back to school shopping. I used to love getting new crayons every year when I was younger, though!

  54. Peggy says

    I used to enjoy back to school shopping, not so much anymore. But with a teenager, we don’t really seem to do one ‘big shop’, we just pickup what is needed as time goes on.

  56. Gayle Fahrion says

    I am a retired home school mom and I used to be a school supply addict. Now, I enjoy filling a backpack each fall for our church’s school supply drive. Thanks!

  58. Cynthia Brunz says

    I haven’t had to buy school supplies for years. But I do remember as a kid cherishing that new box of crayons and not letting my sisters use them. Thanks!

  60. Patty Flynn says

    I no longer need to shop back to school. I liked taking the kids for the new supplies to start a new year. They loved the crayons and binders etc

  62. Michelle M says

    This is our first real school supply year, as my oldest is starting kindergarten. Ask me again tomorrow if I like school supply shopping! 😉 I always loved rulers. There’s so much you can do with a ruler. But I think my favorite part was getting everything out, labeling it, and packing my backpack.

  66. Kelly Jackson says

    Those are luscious colors and The Fat Quarter Shop is great!
    My favorite school supply was new pencils. There is something about a fresh newly sharpened pencil that gets me excited about what is happening next.

    Smiles,
    Kelly

    • Evelyn Orduno says

      Love the fat quaters! My favor part of back to school, is seen the excitement of my daughters faces.

  71. Linda L says

    What a great solids bundle! It’s got everything! I love Post-It’s. They’re school supplies, right?

  75. Mary says

    Those fabrics are just gorgeous. My kids are grown, so no back to school shopping for me, but I do like the tax-free weekends!

  79. Rina Mason says

    I haven’t done back to school shopping in years but still get myself new colored pencils, a pack of gel pens and a composition notebook. Love the black and white cover on the notebook and use them as my journal.

  84. Linda newman says

    I love a new pack of crayons! Just love the smell of crayons. I may take an intro Grrman class at the Jr. College so will also need a couple of textbooks and some index cards.

  88. Lori Morton says

    Loooove new Crayons, Colored Pencils & Colored Pens…plus Drawing Pads & Notebooks! 🙂

  90. Tracine says

    I agree. Back to school now is stressful now that it’s highschool. I think clothes shopping is the worst. My favorite is new pencil crayons and shapeners. I just love them. Thanks for a chance to win the bundle!

  92. Pat says

    I don’t have to buy school supplies any more unless I buy for charity, but I do love to buy crayons and markers to keep on hand for the grandkids…and if I can find Frixion pens all the better! Love this bundle–thanks for the giveaway!

  94. Megan says

    Yep, I love school shopping and new notebooks are my favorite – those crisp blank pages hold so much potential!

  96. Celeste Delostrinos says

    Why wait for back to school? I buy half a dozen small Fiskars school scissors wherever I find them. They’re perfect for snipping threads, and the blunt ends never poke holes when I’m machine quilting.

  99. June G says

    I no longer shop for school supplies, but I always liked buying new notebooks.

  102. Mary Roberts says

    As my children are grown and gone I don’t shop for supplies but I have for many years set my resolutions in September, most particularly my quilting and sewing goals.

  103. Susan Clark says

    I haven’t shopped for school supplies in years but I always loved buying crayons. The largest Crayola box with the sharpener was my favorite.

  107. Lynn says

    My kids are all grown now, but I used to love covering their exercise books. I always looked forward to that part.

  108. Melissa says

    I don’t care about back to school shopping one way or another since I don’t have to do it! 🙂 my favorite school supply is mechanical pencils. Pentel p205 to be specific.

  112. Laura says

    I love shopping for all the school supplies. Every year I work with our local elementary to help with supplies for children who don’t qualify for assistance, but could use a helping hand. My mom used to do this and after she died, I have tried to continue helping others this way. My favorite thing to buy is a new box of Crayola crayons. They just make me smile.

  118. Sarah says

    I don’t have kids, so I don’t have to do any back to school shopping. Although, when I was in school, I loved it. Does that count? I still get a little rush when I buy a brand new notebook and set of highlighters! 😎

  120. Kelly Williams says

    I no longer go school shopping, but I still love getting new pens. Love the fabric. You can never have too many solids!!

  122. Lindsay R says

    I do enjoy back to school shopping, but my Mom loves it so much that she took my daughter for all of her Kindergarten supplies. Fave supplies include crayons and markers, Crayola, of course!

  124. Trisch S says

    When my girls were little, a fun backpack was always something to look forward to!!! Thanks!!!

  126. Terry says

    I have no kids so, have never school shopped but, I loved new pens in different colors as a kid. Still do love new pens.

  129. Linda Bedford says

    As a teacher, I generally do not like back-to-school shopping, because that means I go back to work! But, I do love pretty colored grading markers – I just bought new ones yesterday. Thanks for the opportunity for the beautiful fabrics!

  132. Ashley Norris says

    Follow you on Bloglovin’ & my favorite school supply would have to be a really good gel pen. It makes writing notes so smooth and effortless!

  135. Fran says

    I don’t have a child who is still at school but I still love to buy a new set of coloured pencils.

  137. Jayne says

    Please, me!!! Those solids are amazing…I’m in love with the colors! I’m going to date myself here, but back in the day my favorite school supply was paste! And once you used enough of it there was a sweet (really lame actually) surprise stuck in the paste. I never waited to use the paste, I dug through until I found it!

  139. Fred says

    No kid, but back to school shopping for myself, as I’m a teacher! I love looking for newbies, and new gadgets! This year I was very wise, and bought only boxes for organization! But the shopping is not completely over yet…!!

  144. AJ says

    I’ve always loved back to school shopping. Nothing makes me happier than a new composition book, just waiting to be filled with ideas and doodles.

  146. Kathy E. says

    Back to school shopping doesn’t bother me a bit anymore, now that I’m an empty-nester and semi-retired teacher! Yeah, I used to hate it, though, when the kids were home and in school. They didn’t like school, so didn’t like shopping for it either. I still like to buy a few new mechanical pencils when the new supplies come out. It seems like I’m always losing or misplacing my current favorite ones!

  148. Frani says

    Yes, I enjoy back to school shopping! Even if this means the end of the holidays, I love to look at all these colorful pencils, clever scissors, cute fluorescent highlighters. I always buy something for me! My favorite this year is a tiny notebook.

  150. MARY D says

    My back to school shopping days are long over. My children are grown with children of their own so the back to school shopping is all for them now. But my one supply that I love is the Uniball ultrafine tip rollerball pens. I have to have them and buy them in all colors. I love a smooth writing pen.

  152. sharon says

    I don’t have any human children. so, I always used to steal my nieces and nephews and go back to school shopping
    Now they are all teenagers and don’t want to shop with me. so, I wait until a few days after school starts and go to target.
    their back to school clearance is amazing– I buy graph paper notebooks and reg notebooks and every kind of pencil imaginable.
    I usually have enough for my notes and lists and drawings for a year — an enough to share w the teenagers who “forgot they needed something”

  153. Fireside Quilter says

    We always manage to spend way more than we plan when shopping for school supplies but no one wants to run out of supplies!!

  164. Jane Olley says

    I wasn’t able to have children so my last experience of back to school shopping was in 1976 when I was 14. I hated it which is why it was the last. There was always too much sport to be played to go shopping, especially for school equipment ?

  169. Bärbel says

    My kids go to waldorf School so I don’t need to do any back to School shopping. ? Only Stockmar crayons need to be stocked.

    Great giveaway! ❤️ Thank you very much ❤️

  170. Monique says

    I love fresh graph paper and brand new pencils! I even love the smell of them (I know, weird)

  171. Shelley Folkerts says

    I didn’t enjoy school shopping that much. It was a chore to find jeans for tall skinny kids. My kids are now in their late 20s. My favorite school supply is the large pack of assorted colored pencils.

  172. Bärbel says

    Oh, and I have sewn them new pencil cases. With Tula Pink foxes on it. I love them very much! ❤️

  174. Pam Clark says

    I love getting note books and pencile that match. I just love all the new covers the note books have and what some cool pencils!!! And of course I have to have a pencil case to carry all my pencils!!!

  176. Monique says

    And I’m a follower … Wouldn’t want to miss out on any of your colourful inspirations!!???❤️

  179. Erica says

    My favorite school supply in grade school had to be crayola crayons! In college my favorite was brand new prismacolor colored pencils! And I loved back to school shopping!

  181. Vivienne Franklin says

    I work in a school and I love seeing the 5 year olds getting their stationery goodies for the first time ❤️??

  183. CarinW says

    Hate shopping for school supplies! Favorite school supply fun pencils. ?. Beautiful bundle love to own it!

  185. Robin says

    Markers! This was the first year I haven’t had to buy school supplies in 20 years, but as I entered the store and saw them I had to peruse the aisles and picked out some colourful Sharpies just for me. 😀

  188. Tonya Wohlever says

    I find back to school shopping extremely stressful and I do most of it online. I always loved a new trapper keeper (dating myself! ) I think my son enjoys drawing pencils (so he can doodle while the teacher talks.) Thanks for the giveaway!

  190. julie rhoads says

    My favorite thing to shop for this year was the backpack and matching lunch kit. It was fun seeing what my daughter would pick!

  192. Jessica says

    Oh, man, this bundle is a beauty! I loved school shopping as a kid, but I’m still a year away from having to shop for my little guy. I suspect it’ll be more stressful shopping for him. 🙂 I love markers of every kind.

  194. Shauna T says

    Now my favorite is getting glue sticks on sale (yay, glue basting! ), but as a kid I loved getting new pencils.

  197. Elle Irby says

    I haven’t yet done real back to school shopping, but I’m sure I’ll like it. I love office supplies, especially post it notes!

  198. Heide says

    Not very much, stores are usually out or low on school supplies by the time of get the list. Thanks for the chance to win.
    I follow along on bloglovin.

  203. Val Wooley says

    I love shopping for school supplies but my kids aren’t in school yet. My favorites are anything to color with. I love opening a new box of markers, crayons, colored pencils! It makes me so happy just thinking about it.

  206. Becky J says

    I love crayons and notebooks! Lots of notebooks! All that blank paper waiting for magic to happen!

  209. Judy Fowler says

    I love all school supplies! I haven’t had to buy my daughters supplies for over 20 years but I still get warm and fuzzy as I enter the big red box store. That didn’t stop me from buying for myself. When I retired I consolidated my stuff and knew I had an issue. LOL! I’m attempting to do the same with fat quarters. They are such a wonderful way to see and hold the entire line in your hands.

  210. Michele Neal says

    My daughters are in university, so back to school no longer takes time, just money. It’s all good and I’m happy I’m able to help them out so much.

  211. Michele Neal says

    I follow you on Instagram and read your blog occasionally. My local modern quilt guild mentioned you last night 🙂

  212. Cindy Hahn says

    I’m ok with back to school shopping. Our grade has donation requests rather than a supply list so the students are issued supplies in the class room. Clothing shopping went ok too because it was kinda spread out over about a month with a few pieces here & there.

  214. Brandie says

    I don’t do much back to school shopping as my kids are out of school. But I still love looking at all the pencils, pens and binders that come out for school shopping. In fact I just bought a new binder and pen from Target to use as a journal.

  220. Elise says

    I love back to school shopping! I love school supplies and replacing anything I have used throughout the year

  221. Kari says

    I always liked the fresh box of pencil crayons…!! Kids are in the last couple years now so all we get is lined paper and a new binder..! Absolutely a follower on IG…!!

  222. Mona R says

    Back to school means a fresh beginning and that is so energizing for all of us even those whose school supply buying for kids is behind us. The washable Crayola markers are most easily found now and I love to stock up.

  223. Elise says

    I follow you on Instagram as well. Forgot to mention in my first post I love pens and post its

  224. Urška says

    Back to school shopping is always stressful. My favourit is pencilcase,. From ages I made it myself.

  226. Kristi G says

    I love school supply shopping but it would be less stressful if i could go without the kids. Ha! I love pens.

  230. Amy Cavanagh says

    Oh yes – I LOVED getting all the school supplies. I especially loved a pencil case with newpencils and pencil crayons!!! And scented erasers.

  231. Amy Cavanagh says

    I am a GFCfollower 🙂 What a fantastic giveaway!!!! I am so happy that it is open to every one!!!

  232. Jenni says

    I love new school supplies, but don’t really love battling the crowds in the school supply aisles to buy them. My personal favorite are new colored pens that write well or blank notebooks (I am a list maker!)

  237. Ann Genaske says

    My school shopping days are long over with but I remember the smell and feel of filling notebooks with loose-leaf paper. The wonderful anticipation of filling those now blank lines with new revelations. Lovely memories

  239. Rhonda says

    My kids are out of school, but I still love the back-to-school supplies. My favorite is journals or small notebooks.

  241. Dianne says

    My grandson is entering grade one and I simply cannot resist shopping for some school supplies for him. The smell of freshly sharpened HB pencils and a shiny new lunchbox are favourite memories. Thanks for the trip down memory lane ☺

  254. Sonya Mullis says

    My kids are grown now, but I did enjoy shopping for school supplies with them. I love a new box of crayons!

  256. Diana S. says

    I used to love buying post-it notes. I still love them, but don’t get to use them as much anymore.

  259. Dionne says

    My favorite School Supply after a long summer, was always pencils and paper. I loved that slightly scratchy feeling of graphite on notebook paper. Weird, I know…

  260. Judy Valentino says

    I don’t shop for school supplies but I do shop for myself at this time of year. It is when you can find a big box of sheet protectors or label makers at reasonable prices. Also I buy for charity backpacks.

  261. LisaS says

    My kids are old enough to do their own school shopping now, so I just provide the money. My favorite school supply is a new box of pencils. Love them!

  263. Danielle A says

    Ooooh I’m totally into pens and alway have been for some reason! I’ve recently switched to fountain pens, so I love all the ink options!

  264. Allison C says

    Trapper Keepers? Do they still make those? Probably the fun notebook covers. My parents always got me the plain ones and I always wanted the “fancy” printed ones. Booo.

  266. Caroline says

    My favorite school supply was always colored pencils! Even now, I get a thrill opening a tin of pencils and sharpening them all. I’m so glad I got into quilting to give me an excuse to start coloring patterns and designs again! Thanks for this awesome giveaway.

  268. Virginia in AK says

    My children are all grown with children of their own. My back to school shopping consists of buying each grandchild a new outfit. It’s always fun when they send pictures wearing their new clothes.

  270. Judi Duncan says

    Not stressful for me at all cause I’m the Grandma! Markers markers markers are my favorite school supply to purchase and then maybe post it notes would be a close second place….

  271. Allison says

    School shopping is a little less fun when you are paying but I still like looking at all the colorful goodies, especially fun folders and pouches and pens.

  272. Ani says

    Yes, I do enjoy back to school shopping! Even if I do not have kids, I’m rather a kid myself when it’s this shopping time! My favorite this year is a new smartphone case, supercute, I love it, and of course I carry it everywhere with me 😉

  274. DeborahGun says

    I find school supply shopping super boring but I do enjoy finding notebooks with amusing covers!

  276. Rebmara says

    I love beautiful notebooks, but they ar e for me, not for my sons. Only interesting about back to school for them is back to see al friends on a daily basis

  278. Delaine says

    I used to enjoy back to school shopping when my kids were still in school. They are adults now. Thanks!

  287. Julie says

    Wow – what an awesome palette of colours. I just love new exercise books, always sad when they get tatty and messy.

  289. Barbara Orozco says

    I try to avoid school supplies shopping directly before the end of the summer holidays and do all the shopping directly at the end of term. What I love are the new pencils and the new calendars.
    Thanks for the chance!

  291. Anne says

    I love back to school shopping, always have! My kids are too young for school but that does not stop me from shopping every year. My favorite supplies as an adult – crayons. And Sharpies. That gorgeous bundle reminds me of all the colors in a new box of crayons.

  292. Sharon says

    I miss the days of buying school supplies when they didn’t break the bank. College is unbelievably expensive.

  294. Alyce Rodriguez says

    Lovely colors! I strongly dislike back to school anything, except a nice, fresh composition book and my favorite pen. Thanks!

  295. Nancy says

    I love back to school shopping! All the new notebooks, paper, pencils and my favorite, bright colored pens and markers and crayons! Unfortunately, my babies are 29 &
    26, but one is an elementary school teacher, so I can still buy some supplies, to help out the less fortunate children, that don’t always have all their supplies. I would love the brightly colored fabrics in the giveaway. My email is nancyklatt8 at gmail dot com. Thanks for the giveaway.

  296. Christine Sherman says

    I used to love it but now my babies are all grown! I did stock up on Sharpies this year though 🙂

  298. Trish says

    We’re just starting in to school this year, kindergarten. Eek! Something with colours is always my favourite to buy, markers, pencil crayons or crayons, there’s nothing better than a box of colour.

  302. Katy M says

    What a gorgeous bundle! My baby is too young for school yet so I haven’t had that joy but I remember being so excited as a child going to choose a new pencil case and backpack and the hours of deliberation! The school supply I love now is notebooks- I have a box full but still find myself buying new ones! X

  304. Nan Carlson says

    New follower and subscriber. Just ordered some solid charm packs and because I want to get to work with solids exclusively for awhile to hone my skills. These colors are gorgeous
