Well hello everyone!
We are now starting to prepare month #3 packages for all of our 2016 Block of the Month programs and so it seemed like a perfect time for some updates here on the blog.
For more regular updates, follow me on Instagram as I post there much more often there! I am figtreeandco !!
MYSTERY SAMPLER BOM
Can I say that I am already in love with this sampler and I don't even know how its going to turn out in the end?
… month #1 blocks above.
If you are signed up for our Mystery Sampler Block of the Month program, you just received your second month last week and hopefully you are working away at some of those fun blocks… see below.
I can't wait to add some orange and grey into next month's block selection!
Here are a few hints and tips on BLOCK OF THE MONTH SUCESS [this is true for any BOM you are participating in anytime]:
Happy Sewing My Friends!

I just got mine in the mail! I substituted fabric last month… because I wanted to avoid falling behind! These blocks look like so much fun… I guess I will be putting myself in BOM Rehab this weekend! xxoo

These are great tips, and I’m already doing almost all of them. I have ziploc baggies all kept inside a 14″ square scrapbook box – so the whole BOM is in one place! And don’t be too surprised if my “a” becomes a “g”!

I so want to be making this. ???? Are the patterns ever made available if we weren’t able to join? It filled up so fast.
Joanna | 2nd Mar 16
BOM Rehab is a great name LOL!! Have fun!
Joanna | 2nd Mar 16
Because the patterns include both printed instructions and many stand alone Fig Tree patterns, it is difficult to offer them as a “pattern”. But if enough people are interested in doing that, we could offer it at the end of the year. Email me if you are interested in that and we will start a list!
Joanna | 2nd Mar 16
I love that! Yours should definitely be a “g”. There will also be an “&” and either a b or a z coming up…. just so you know 🙂
Joanna | 2nd Mar 16
Absolutely! I should have added that in there too. Starching is crazy helpful anytime you are working with bias. Since I don’t always do it myself, but know it is very helpful for so many people, I sometimes forget to add it into the hints! Thanks for commenting about that!

I didn’t start until I got the fabric for block 1 in month 2. I can’t start a project until I have all the pieces – lol! Plan to catch up this weekend. I did finish the bear paws and they look great. On to the flowers to,ortow! Loving it so far! Thanks for the tips!

I absolutely LOVE these blocks! Sure wish I was able to sign up. 🙂
Pamela | 3rd Mar 16
I can’t believe I missed the mystery quilt again! I am doing the crossroads quilt which is pretty cute, but yes I’m disappointed I missed this again! I must do better!
It looks amazing! I’m loving the cute blocks and your fabrics!
Sweet!

Our BOM programs usually go live the previous August or September and sell out within a few days or weeks at the most. We will be opening up spots for a new BOM for next year at the end of this summer. Let us know if you are interested in that and we will add you to the wait list.

Love the mystery and would love to be put on the list for the pattern or pattern only option. Thx!
Judy | 8th Mar 16
Thank you for posting pictures of the blocks from the Sampler BOM. It really helps those of us that are visual people. Hope you continue to do this each month.
Joanna | 8th Mar 16
We always post the pictures on Instagram and Facebook. But we will try to add them to the blog every month or at least every other month as well!
