Sponsored Stash

Free fabric, no blog required

Quilting brands ship fabric bundles to NiftyFifty members. Opt in, get selected, get fabric. Make something when you're ready — no posting quota, no strings. The fabric is yours.

Current rounds

No round is open for opt-ins right now. New rounds are announced to members by email and on the challenges page — make sure your account email is current.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Opt in

    A round opens; you add your mailing address and a line about what you'd make.

  2. Step 2

    Get selected

    We pick from the pool — NiftyFifty selects, never the brand. Your address stays with us unless you say otherwise.

  3. Step 3

    Fabric arrives

    The sponsor's bundle ships to you at no cost. It's yours to keep, whatever happens next.

  4. Step 4

    Show it off (optional)

    Post your make as a project with the fabric tagged. The round's gallery is what thanks the sponsor — and what brings the next brand in.

Fabric, thread, or batting brand?

Sponsoring a round puts your product in the hands of quilters who actually sew — with a tagged project gallery and a verified count at the end, instead of an ambassador program to manage. Product at cost, no cash ask.

Questions quilters ask

Is this really free? What's the catch?+

Really free. A sponsoring brand ships fabric bundles to selected members. There's no purchase, no subscription, and no posting quota. We hope you'll make something and post it with the fabric tagged — that gallery is what the brand gets out of it — but the fabric is yours either way.

Why would a brand do this?+

Fabric companies have always seeded product to bloggers and ambassadors for exposure. Most quilters don't blog, so brands could never reach them. NiftyFifty's project galleries and fabric tagging give every member the reach a blog used to require — so brands can finally put fabric in the hands of the quilters who actually sew it.

How are members picked?+

Opt in to an open round with your mailing address and a line about what you'd make. When opt-ins close, we select from the pool — spread across states and skill levels, with a soft preference for members with a project history on the site. Selection is by NiftyFifty, never by the brand.

Who sees my address?+

Only NiftyFifty, for shipping — unless you separately tick the box allowing the sponsor to drop-ship to you directly. We never hand the brand your address without that explicit consent, and your address is never visible to other members.

I represent a brand. How do we sponsor a round?+

Email [email protected] or use the partner inquiry form. A round typically means 20–50 bundles at your cost of goods; you get a tagged project gallery, a verified count of makes, and geographic spread — the reach of an ambassador program without managing one.
