I did Mr B's also for about 3 years. As someone else mentioned the price does include shipping. It is a good deal with fabrics and a pattern. I liked just getting fabric instead of also getting the notions that I either already had or didn't need. And I already have so much thread I don't need anymore of that either. I did try Quilty Box once and Sew Sampler for about 5 months but I just keep seeing how much fabric I could buy for $30 instead of those boxes.
