When you join, you’ll receive a welcome email withing 24 hours that includes login information so you can access patterns immediately for all the blocks we’ve made so far. After that, you can expect to receive a new block pattern from me via email on the 1st of each month, for the remainder of the year. If, at any time, you don’t think you’ve received a pattern, be sure to check your junk folder first, and then if you still don’t see it, pop me an email. Could be as simple as your email server filtering out marketing-style emails, and I can help you trouble shoot around that.
Here’s what we’ve stitched & baked up so far:
My inspiration for this year’s monthly block series sprang from an antique pattern catalog that a friend gifted me for my birthday last year. I was so charmed to read about the self-described “modern” ladies of 1933, who delighted in keeping the historic blocks of their colonial ancestors alive through their interpretations of timeless blocks. It really struck a chord with me, and really re-enforced what I love about traditional patchwork- it’s always in style, and looks great with any style fabric. So all of my designs for this year’s Sugar Block series are traditionally rooted, with lovely vintage charm, full of pretty stars, flowers, and diamonds. I encourage you choose to use whatever fabrics you like! No matter whether you go with modern fabrics, 1930s or Civil War reproductions, Batiks, or solids, we’ll be breathing fresh life into some classic patchwork, building our skills, and having fun! And that’s what it’s all about, right?!
Fabric Requirements:
Have a blog? Grab a button! 
I managed to delete the email you sent with the info on how many fat quarters to buy for the Sugar Block Club. My apologies. Could you resend that info, at your convenience, please? Many thanks.
Would you indicate the length of time between your payment for the Sugar Block Club until you received your email notice? I signed up last week but nothing as of yet.
I didn’t know there was a E-Mail that explained the fabrics we needed. When are we going to see the first block? I’m confused. I paid for this, but where do we sign in to get the class instructions.
I have not received any emails about the Sugar Block Club
They came this morning and I am so excited about starting this. I don’t know if my home will ever be clean again!
Hi Amy. Happy holidays to you. I am looking forward to the sugar club block of the month. I have paid the membership fee and was wondering if you will be sending out emails at the beginning of each month with the new block of the month? I have so very much enjoyed your blog and the block of the month with crafty this year. I look forward to spending more time quilting this coming year. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season and enjoy spending time with your little ones.
Hi Amy. Looking forward to the sugar club block of the month. Are you planning to communicate via email? I have paid the membership fee but have not received an email. Enjoyed the crafty block of the month and look forward to a fun filled year of participating with your block of the month again for another year.
Happy holidays to you and your family.
Happy Holidays to you and your family Amy. Looking forward to theSugar Block club just signed up bye for now Wendy McLaren in Regina Saskatchewan, Canada
Hi Amy, I just signed up for your sugar block club!! Yay I’m very excited. I’m still working on your craftsy BOM class but I should finish up soon. I love your creative style!! Happy holidays from my family to yours!
Jennifer from Shellbrook, Saskatchewan, Canada
Amy, I just signed up. Looking forward to another great year with you :-)
Loved the BOM, learned to much. Not sure how you do all that you do. hmmmm, don’t sleep?
Sue
Amy I really enjoyed your Craftsy blcok of the month, I finished all of those blocks, but do not have my quilt finished yet. YOu were a great teacher. I am interested in your 2013 Sugar Block Club. I do understand that I will receive a copy of the pattern via e-mail the first of each month but will there be an on line class as well?
Hi Amy,
I’m looking forward the Sugar Block club, and signed up – should I have gotten a confirmation? I came over from Pat Sloan’s forum. I’ve also signed up at Craftsy, but haven’t been able to get started yet. Enjoy the holidays!!
I have not received any emails for Sugar Block Club Info. I have purchased the subscription.
Amy
I signed up for your sugar block (so looking forward to it ) but I have had to change my email. I am worried about not receiving the instructions I am hoping this message will give you the information you need. Thanks honey! Janet
Oh I can’t wait! Now was there a send out of fabric requirements??? I’d like to also see what you are using :) my Craftsy one came out fabulous (thanks to your fabric choice!).
Just signed up!! So excited :-)
Amy: I am interested in the Sugar Block Club. After seeing some of the questions here; could you please post some of the answers on your blog here. I’ve loved your BOM class.
I am signing on to your BOM quilt. Please tell us recommended fabrics to get. I saw a bundle of kona solids on your site. IF we want to use similar fabrics where do we get them. I never copy the teacher but mix things up a bit.
I’m so super excited about The Sugar Block Club. Purchased all my fabrics Friday night and cannot wait for the first block!!!
May I ask if you ordered solid fabrics or something else. I am looking for a package and so far I have not found anything I like. Today I try again
Thank you in advance for information.
My fabric arrived today from Fabric Worm, I can’t wait for the patterns to start coming!!
This is my first Flickr post so hopefully it works! Most of the fabric is Licorice Fizz and I added 2 other pieces the swirls and dragon flies. I’ll put a little bit of the lime green in blocks as accents. I still need to get some gray for the background. Here it goes got my fingers crossed http://www.flickr.com/photos/90823285@N06/8247156207/ looks like it worked. :)
I just paid for this series, but then how do I log into it?
I signed up for this club some time ago. I would like to know how to get a list of what I am going to need. Also, does this start with Jan? I am taking your FMQ class on Craftsy and having fun!
From the UK but spend about four months in Florida, caught the bug of quilting absolutely loved your Block of the Month on CRAFTSY so have just signed up for your new course! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a very Healthy & happy new year and look forward to the updates on the family JeanM
I just signed up for this. I can’t eat your desserts but I can do the quilt blocks. I am excited for this to start.
Just signed up, and looking forward to the start of the year and the course to come.
Thanks for all your hard work Amy, we sure do appreciate it.
I also have not received any info about the Sugarblock club prior to the one about the fabric bundles and I have purchased the subscription.
favorite holiday tradition? my husband decorates the tree! i love it! he does a great job!
mary :) in alaska it is cold here, below zero, snow coming this weekend. :)
Thank you for emailing me to tell me you are working on getting more bundles. I love your energy and all your creative ideas. Anything more on a fabric wreath? Hugs from Palm Springs,CA.
I attempted to sign up but I am not sure if paypal went through. My paypal id is sasquatch_tp. Did you receive pymt or should I try again. Thanks!
I got confirmation that payment went through! Ready to start now!
I just joined the club!
I have not received anything.Should I be getting an enail or something?
Just signed up!!!! Can’t wait to start! Looking forward to the instructions! Favourite festivity activity will have to be big family meals that last all day long!
Marta
Can’t wait to get more super block designs from you. Craftsy BOM was my first course on quilting; although I have been sewing for years. Your tricks to make things faster and easier have been the most exciting. A very inticate design, to the untrained eye, is so easy using your tricks. Just signed up today, so I can only assume we will all be getting instructions for materials with the first block in January. Hugs to the wee ones.
Hi AmyI just signed up for the Sugar BOM
very excited
I can’t wait for January to see the unveiling if your first block. My favorite tradition is all sitting down together with all our favorite foods and the meal taking a long time! We talk and laugh together!
I have joined the Sugar Block Club. I am eager to start. I live in India and may not get the fabric and colours shown but I am sure I will manage with next to near colours. Looking forward to start.
Did the Craftsy BOM this year with you and am looking forward to the Sugar Block Club this next year!
Just want to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and s Happy New Year. Christmas must be a joy with the children.
I’ve ordered my material, and hope to be ready to go, with the new year.
I am soooo excited to see the blocks for next year.I asked my husband to pay for the 2013 Sugar Block Class for a Christmas present.
I am almost finished with the Craftsy class you taught, and now have to quilt the top. Have a Merry Christmas and thanks for all you taught us this year.
Judy
Merry Christmas to you and urs, Amy. Can’t wait to get my first pattern!!
I just decided to join up for your Sugar Block club – some friends of mind over at Natural Mamas are all taking part too.
I wondered if there is anyway I can change my email address on the club because my paypal is linked to my old email address that I hardly check.
Hi Amy, I signed up for the new BOM but haven’t received an email about fabric requirements. Does it come automatically? If so, pleasze resend it to me. Can’t wait to begin! Absolutely loved your Craftsy BOM last year. Merry Christmas to you and your little brood.
Oh dear…
I just signed up and I’m quite nervous… I hope everything work well, I never really used PayPal before… Anyway, I’m really looking forward to this^^
Sarah
I just got up an hour ago (it’s now 10 a.m. in Germany) and was very happy to find my welcome-mail in my cell’s mailbox. Now I’m excited to do some fabric-shopping while visiting a friend and very much looking forward to starting in January…
And thanks so much for your nice reply to my comment, Amy.
Signed up and paid on the 7th and am still waiting for requirements.
Hi Debbie- I emailed you direct to see what may be up. Perhaps they went to an old email address linked to your Paypal? We’ll get it sorted out! :)
Hi Amy! Finishing up my BOM from craftsy. Will the blocks be different in this club or will there be repeats? I have totally enjoyed the BOM on craftsy and I love your fun modern style.
Tracy
Hi Tracy! No repeats! :) All fresh, new blocks to enjoy. xo
Yay! I’m in. Just signed up!
Hi Amy,
I would like to purchase the sugar block club for multiple friends as gifts.. is this possible? If so, how could I do that?
Thanks!
I also followed you on the Craftsy BOM enjoyed it, so I signed up for the Sugar Block Club. I have not received any emails. Should I be concerned?
If I get a regular 1/4 yard of 17 Kona solids, instead of a fat quarter, will it work out okay? I know 1/4 = 1/4 , but I am concerned about how pieces need to be cut for your blocks.
excited to see what is in store for 2013. also waiting on email for supply list. ty so much.
payment made nov 27th
I, too, have managed to lose my email telling me how many fat quarters to buy. Maybe you could post this information on the Sugar Block Page of your website for all of us?
I have attempted to sign up for the Sugar Block Club with my Visa and the reply is that I have already signed up. I have not received any email regarding the club.
Just tried to sign up for Sugar Block and not sure if it went through or not. When I tryed to do again, it keeps kicking back my credit card, thinking it is a duplicate. Could you check and see if the first one went through? I have not received any email. This was today,12/22. Thanks
Hola Amy, felicidades por tu embarazo!!!
Tu avisarás cuando inicie el Club?
Gracias y saludos desde México.
Just received my fat quarter bundle in the mail today! Early Christmas for me! I hope you have a Merry Chritmas!!!!
Hi Amy I too have signed up for your BOM but have not heard back from you. I paid with paypal.
Hi Amy,
Is there a picture of this quilt or the blocks for it at least? I started the BOM on Craftsy but got stuck on April and now need to catch up (after deciding to skip that month). Some of the other months that have curves or templates are not really my cup of tea so I may be skipping them too. The BOM was interesting in that it taught so many different ways and styles of piecing but other than the fabric, the styles don’t really go together. I would like to see if your Sugar Block Club is more like a traditional Quilt BOM with straight line cuts and complementing blocks.
Thank you!
If you do them all in the same color but in all the different blocks it will be sooooooo very beautiful!
Linda,
Soon after I wrote that post, I saw a photo of Amy’s Craftsy quilt. It is soooo gorgeous! I wouldn’t have thought all those blocks would look so good together. I just wanted to make sure this one was going to be different since I don’t have a lot of extra cash to buy templates that I probably won’t use again and don’t want to struggle with making my own. I have enough trouble just using a rotary cutter! lol
I too signed up for this class shortly before Christmas and am eagerly awaiting instructions. I paid via paypal with the same email address as the one I used to create this comment. Thank you!
Actually my payment went in the day after Christmas…can’t wait!
hi amy, hope u r having a great time in va. family, they r the best. thank u for my fabric. it came a week ago,and then…….i broke my arm……….booohooo…….need some sympathy…………well the fabric s awesome, u guys did a great job. talk to u soon. have a safe trip home.
Getting antsy….can’t wait to get started!!
Amy, Thank you so much for your quick reply! I hope you had a great time with family over your Christmas break! I am excited about the Sugar Block Club and had better get signing up!
Could you please tell a little more about the class. What will be learning that is different from the wonderful class BOM 2012.
Thank you so very much.
Welcome home, I’m glad your holiday was wonderful I bet everyone spoiled the babies. I cant wait to start the new BOM. Last year i made 25 pillow cases from flannels. Everyone loved them. Happy New Year!!!!!!
Hi Amy,
I have been doing the Craftsy BOM this year and loving it! I fell a little behind and I am on June’s blocks now. You’re a fantastic teacher and I’ve really enjoyed the experience. Because of the Craftsy BOM I signed up with your Sugar Block Club this past Friday. Just wondering when the supply list will be emailed to me:) Thsnk you and I can’t wait to begin!!!
Hello! I’m new to your blog and just joined the SBC two days ago. I haven’t received my welcome email yet, but I know it’s the holidays and things are crazy! Just want to make sure I’ll get everything I need on the first (or after…). I ordered my fabric — found your bundle on eBay! So I have to wait for that to come in anyways. I love the holidays, but they sure do slow down my online orders!
If anyone checks this soon, please could you fill me in on what’s included in the welcome email? I’m sure I’ll get it soon…just antsy to get started!
Thanks!
NEVERMIND!
There’s a welcome email? I didn’t get one… does anyone know how much fabric will be required?
I heard from Amy today. If you signed up just recently (like me, two days ago)…she hasn’t gotten a chance to send the welcome emails out because she’s with family for the holidays. She said she was going to try to send them tonight, so keep an eye out!
I just signed up for the Sugar Block Club. I am working on my final paper pieced blocks for the Craftsy BOM and I am looking forward to this new challenge. Happy New Year!
I know how you feel about wanting to know the supply list, etc. Sometimes I just get too excited for my own good. But I love to quilt! Or I should say, “piece”. Anyway, here is what she told me in an earlier email:
“FQ Bundle (or yardage) of at least 17 prints (ie a total of 4 1/4 yds or more). I’m going to be using this colorful FreeSpirit solids bundle, and I may choose to add a FQ or two of grey to add another neutral.
- 1 1/8 yards of white, or whatever background color you choose
Also, I’ll let you know that we won’t be using any special (non-printable) templates- so your standard quilting rulers will work great!”
I hope this helps so that Amy can continue her holiday uninterupted and yet we can all know what we will be using!
Oh, and I forgot to say, I think the FQ bundle is called Free Spirit Solids – Bold.
I’ve signed up for your BOM, but I have trouble adding your button to my blog, the picture does not want to show, I used the HTML gadget…
……..never mind, I tried the one in the blog post itself and it did not work, then I tried the one in your side bar of the blog, and it worked fine.
Hi,
how long does ist take to get the first mail? I subscribed a while ago.
Sonja
you should have it already Sonja – and you will simply LOVE it!
Dear Amy, I’m also confused Are we going to receive instructions on the first of the month or on the first Saturday of the month?
Hi Rosalinda-
You’ll receive a pattern on the first of each month. The first Saturday I mention in this post is talking about those who want to come make the blocks with me at a shop in Colorado.
Take care! :)
Amy
Is it too late to sign up?
Hi Amy, “Happy New Year from Australia” to you and yours. May it be a 2013 be a great year for everyone involved with your family and Sugar Block Club. I can’t wait to receive my first Sugar Block Club design instructions. I have a lot of Christmas patterned materials and was thinking it would be good to do the BOM’s in a Christmas theme. Will this work in OK?
Hi! I signed up on 12/23 and have not recieved a confirmation email or fabric requirements yet.. Can you please resend? Either jkaczetow at gmail dot com or jkaz6 at hotmail dot com. Thanks so much! I’m really looking forward to this. :D
Dear Amy, I am no longer confused. Thank you for answering my question. Have fun on your road trip. HAPPY NEW YEAR and may God bless you and your family. Rose
I have registered for the Sugar Block Club and have not received a list of anything. I paid via PayPal.. Dec 15.2012
Please advise
Joined on Nov 24th but have had no correspondence – only my receipt from PayPal. When can we expect to hear from you or get our first pattern/recipe? Can hardly wait!!
I am not sure either when the Sugar Block Club begins. I also have not received notification of fabric requirements.
check your email – it was posted this morning. It comes in the email instead of a website.
Hmm.Wonder why some recieved the email and some didn’t?
Amy – this is wonderful. Only one thing. Could you post this as an option to being downloaded as a pdf? When printing from the email it chops off things and part of a line in the recipe was cut in half. I did manage to crop and paste it, but it was a lot of extra work that I’d rather put into quilting.
Hi Amy
Just wanted to let you know what a fantastic day we have all had here.
We made the scrumptious January recipe and I sewed up the block.
It’s wonderful.
I blogged about it here http://lizofdandeliondaydreams.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/the-sugar-block-club.html
Thanks so much
Liz
xxxx
I did not received the supply list after I signed up in mid December. HELP!
The first block looks like fun! Can’t wait to start.
Hi Amy, I signed up a little late (a few days ago) so I never received the info about fabric requirements. If possible, could you please send that info to me at your convenience? I did receive the email with the first block and recipe. Thank you. I am going to hold off making the first block until I get the fabric requirements for all the blocks.
I’ve just finished my first block!
Now what am I going to do for the rest of the month? Lol.
Checked out some of the blocks on flickr they look great.
I signed up for the Sugar Block Club in November. I was hoping to get an email with instructions, etc. When/how will you be sending information on this class? I recently finished Craftsy BOM and LOVED your class. Thanks!
Ahhh… I read all the comments and found the requirements. At least 17 different fat quarters and 1 1/8 neutral backround fabric. I might make mine with prints so I can use something from my stash.
Good Day and Happy New Year to all, Help can someone point me in a good tutorial for cutting the 2 7/8 squares, i seem to be having some trouble getting exact measurements.
thank you in advance
Marisol
Try using a 3 inch square and then cut to size after you sew. 1/8 should not make that much difference if you trim after sewing. It might make it easier to complete.
thank you, will give it a try
Elizabeth thank you so much, it all work out i just posted my picture in the flickr group i am kids6787. check it out, completed block measure 12.5
again thank you so much
I’m so happy that worked for you. Gee I learned something in Amy’s BOM club last year. Looking forward to this years blocks and learning more. Thank you for letting me know it worked for you.
You are so welcome. Happy to assist.
Your block is wonderful and I love the colors. I have still yet to complete my block. A few other things came up I plan on completing today. I am bluefly48, I think if not it is bluefly. So many sites to sign into.
Hello Amy,
first of all: Happy New Year 2013!
I joined on Nov,3rd,I only got the PayPal receipt but unfortunately no other confirmation or e-mail. Also yesterday I did not receive the mail…. Would you please check what happened.
Thanks and have a great day!
Hi Just wondering if anyone has recieved there block this month?
yes I received mine, but Amy was having email problems and has stated below that they should be cleared up tonight or tomorrow. hope this helps :)
I am sure Amy will be getting with those that had trouble getting the pattern email. I know she contacted me yesterday and we were finally able to get the welcome email sent to my email address. Next will be the pattern. For those that haven’t recieved anything you might need to check your spam or check your contact list. Although Amy & Stitchery Dickory was in my contacts I needed accept and email from her and put her on my safe contact list. Hope this helps. Looking forward to getting started. Have a good day.
Just joined yesterday and I’m looking forward to starting this BOM!
Looking forward to this !
Amy, I RECEIVED my first month e-mail. Tho I am old you are using the colors in the first block that I really like. You modern quilters are the best. Thank you for doing this for us. Elizabeth
Is there really supposed to be 6 cups of flour in this months recipe?
Hi Amy,
I signed up and paid for the Sugar Block Club on Nov 6th. But to-date I have not received any form of notification from you. Please advise what I need to do to active my membership on your end.
Thank you,
Denise Roberts
Hi Amy,
I have not received an email for the first block yet but it shows that the payment has been received. Is there something else I should do? Safe travels!
Molly
Hi Amy, Like many of your other followers, i absolutely loved the Craftsy BOM, and also like many others im only half way through it, i did however enjoy doing it along with you, you have a real natural flare for the teaching of the block. Thank you so much for that. Ive also just signed up last night with your Sugar Block Club and look forward to that also, could you tell me when i will receive the pattern for the first month? Congrats on your twins their beautiful.
Hi Amy!
I just joined the BOM in the beginning of the year and I didn´t receive the e-mail with the instructions to do the block and recipe, could you send me, please?
Thanks from Brazil.
Angélica Longo Diepenbruck
I’ve not yet received my instructions on the 1st block.
Happy New Year Amy! I signed up and paid (received payment confirmation through pay pal) yesterday. I am anxiously waiting for the email with directions in how to get started that I haven’t yet received. Thanks so much and here’s to another wonderful year of quilting with you! Craftsy BOM was fabulous :)
Amy, I,ve just received the first email from you but without any details on the instructions etc.. Looking at all the comments from your subscribers, I think you should at least explain how this SBC works.
I joined the sugar block club yesterday. Paid for it on pay pal. Haven’t gotten a confirmation as yet. Will we be notified by e-mail about the blocks each month on the first? So far I haven’t recieved anything.
Sugar Block Clubbers who joined on the 1/1/12 or 1/2/12 should receive their emails (Welcome and January Block) later this evening or tomorrow. We were incommunicado for the 1st and 2nd traveling cross country with our brood. And my in-laws only had intermittent internet access during our stay.
Thank you so much for your patience! I’m working furiously to get all the added Sugar Blockers in the mass email system and posting instructions for making the future emails “safe” with spam filters for those of you who signed up in December or earlier
so confused with this club so far. Should I be concerned? Join and paid with Pay Pal but no confirmation as yet.
She was having email problems. Give her a couple of days and you will get your things. :)
Oh Sweetie, don’t fret. I am so sorry that you were swamped with emails from people that have nothing better to do than complain. We all understood when we signed up that you were a very BUSY mom with little ones that come first. Tell the complainers that they must wait their turn. If they had signed up before the last minute they wouldn’t have to wait! You are doing a great job. Relax and take a deep breath! Life is too short :)
Finally got the pieces cut and ready to sew tomorrow. It was getting late here and didn’t want to wake hubby. My house will just have to wait. :)
I cant click on the flickr group at the bottom of this page, do you have a group?
Amy, You are doing such a GREAT job. Because of you I was able to accomplish a goal of mine, making a quilt. I followed the BOM on Craftsy and loved every minute. Thank you so much for the time you give us. I, too, live in Denver. A perfect day for me is to go to Fancy Tiger, Sewn and finish with lunch at the Hornet. I hope things settle down and smooth out, but please know you are doing a fantastic job and helping people like me fulfill a dream.
Lauri
Hope it is okay to be a late comer to the project. I just ordered today. My granddaughter did Craftsy Block of the Month in 2012 (except for the paper piecing). She saw this and wanted to do this BOM this year. We are doing it together.
Darlene
Hello I also joined on the 4th have you received your welcome letter yet i cant start anyway until my material comes in but was just curious. I am a new quilter and excited to start. and look forward to making new friends.
I’m a member of the club but am looking to see if there’s a place where there are finished blocks posted. I’m stumbling with colors and wanted to get some fresh ideas. Am I overlooking the link? Appreciate any suggestions.
THanks, Kathie
HI
I believe you have to go to the flicker group the teal flower at the top part of this page and sign up and join the group The Sugar Block Club then you can post pics.;)
You are correct…I just posted this morning. You have to set up your Flickr acct so you have a place to store your pics, hen you can post over to the Sugar Block Club. Good luck!
Have a pic to upload of my first block, but dont see where to do it. HELP.
Amy
Just joined but was wondering if my stuff will go to my husbands web site Triton230@msn.com and if so can i get it to my emails.
My e-mail address has changed since I signed up for the Sugar Block Club. How can I receive the information about the club?
Dear Amy, Just wanted to let you know you’re doing s great job. I really don’t know how you do it with 4 kids. I’m doing 5 BOM this year using what I have in my stash and it still won’t make dent in the fabric I have. I promised myself I would not buy anymore fabric in the year 2013.(or until I see something I can’t live without)Well I a great week and don’t let anyone upset you. Rose
Rec’d the email about fabric but no instructions or ? Did I miss something ? I too have paid for this Plwase let me know … thank you
have not received my welcome letter or first block yet.
I just signed up for Sugar Block Club, I am so looking forward to getting the first block. I took your class in 2012 @ craftsy. The block of the month. i loved the class.
Yeah!!!!!! I received my email and my block,can’t wait to try that recipe i also love to bake
Hi I signed up and paid however have not received an email or anything – how do I access the info for the block and stuff. Thanks!
would like to share a photo but not sure how
What a runaround I have had to try and get all my fabrics in place. We have wonderful cotton fabrics in India, but shops don’t sell it in the same was as specialised quilting shops do it in the West. So one buys one piece in one place and then have to hunt for colours to match it with!!! Anyway have got my stack in place and will do the first block before the month end!
I am a new quilter…took one course in quilting a couple of years ago. But, still find myself struggling along. My first block of the month is finished, but not what I would expect as being perfect. Will try another this week. Thanks for all the step-by-step assistance.
I am so impressed with Amy … WOW … “They” say “the busier a woman is the more she accomplishes”. (Something like that LOL) I am getting ready to MAKE HEXIES … Amy mentioned Sashiko … Looking that up … And also going to google Exxens linen … I have to look at her blog again … Some kind of Lenin … Ha … Learning so much. …
I read about your BOM on Pat Sloan’s blog and I signed up today. This will be my first BOM and I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
I just joined really late, hope I can still do January’s BOM :-) and like many others here enjoyed doing the BOM on Craftsy with you! Carol
I saved the January block as a PDF, but it won’t open.
Would you please re-send? I was preparing several quilts for a quilt show (including 2012 BOM on Craftsy) and couldn’t get to it in January.
Thank you so much.
Got my fat quarters today will have the 1st block done this weekend! Yeah.
OOOOH LA LA February block is the prettiest thing I have ever seen! Can not wait to make it repeatedly. Thank you so much Amy.
February drove me nuts. My background has a right and wrong side that are hard to tell apart but show when the block is done. RIP, REDO! Then I used the main fabric on the wrong petals. I do big complicated paper piecing, but this super-simple-seeming one was a challenge.
I lost my email with the February block. Any way I can get it resent.
Ciao, ho ricevuto i due blocchi ma quando cerco di caricare il pdf non ci riesco, ci prova ma si blocca verso la fine. riusciresti a rimandarmelo sulla e.mail . Grazie buona serata Laura
Ciao. Ho bisogno di aiuto non riesco a caricare il pdf dei blocchi, come posso fare? Riesci a mandarmeli via e-mail? grazie buona giornata Laura
Hi Amy.
I hope it’s not too late to join this club.
I clicked on the JOIN tab, but it seems my Pay Pal account didn’t work.
I hope i can use a credit card ?
Jannie
I swear I am a door post! I know I printed my instructions for block one and I can’t figure out how to see block two. Life is so crazy. I don’t remember if I was supposed to watch for it to be emailed or just keep checking the site. I know I am making this too hard.
I just signed up for the Sugar Block Club, how do I get the 2 missed months of blocks?
I just joined the club, yes I know it is a month late, but I saw Pat Sloane’s post and had to join! I have a set of printed fat quarters that are calling my name. I assume I will get an email or something from you????
love this block amy!
Amy,
In the past you have made reference to a slip-proof product for your rulers. I can not remember what it is called, but have now decided I don’t want to ruin anymore cuts because my hand slides the ruler. Thanks!
Ashley
HI Ashley! The product is called OmniGrip, and it’s fabulous!!
Does anyone have some advise on the February block in making the center star with the points?
I have not been able to understand the directions of leaving 1/4″ on each end and that will match the points. I tried like 3 times, and it makes one side short so the points wont match. What am I dong wrong????? I finally gave up and was gonna use it as is.
Hi Kelly! Sorry you’re having trouble! To be clear, be sure to look closely at the photo where I point out the 1/4″ adjustments that need to be made when lining up the pieces…it’s not a 1/4″ directly from the edge necessarily. Hard to explain without having the picture in from of you, but on one side, it’s 1/4″ from the top edge to where the fabrics cross, and on the other side it’s 1/4″ from the side edge to where the fabrics cross. Once you pinned it to match the photo exactly (I have arrows showing exactly where the 1/4″ should be), then you can open up the piece to check and see how it will look once you stitch- ie, where the 1/4″ seam will end up- then make tiny adjustments if necessary. Let me know if this seems unclear once you’ve looked at the alignment photo again, and I’d be happy to help you more with troubleshooting. Nothing worse than giving up on a block due to frustration! :)
I have already joined but I cannot find where to get February’s block that I failed to download. I know that I have mention this before and received a reply but I have deleted the email response. Thanks for your help.

Hello I love your BOM series and so I have just signed up for this quilt project. Will I receive the January, February and march blocks??
Thank you
Kerry :)
Hi Amy. I signed up and paid the fee for the Sugar BOM on Feb 8, 2013, but have never received anything yet. Is there something else I need to do?
Thanks Jackie
I suggest you contact Amy directly rather than through this posting because she may check her email more often. I started March 1 and got an email for March and another email giving me access to the February and January blocks within a day of joining. Kay
Happy Easter Amy and family cant wait for the next block April 1 that’s no fool haha.
Hi there- Simply click on the highlighted words that say “Templates A & B” to open the template PDF for April.
Just signed up yesterday, have saved all the patterns, printed all the foundations and look forward to getting all caught up!! As soon as I decide on my fabric! lol
May I still join? I won’t be able to sew along just yet, moved house and machine still in storage but so I started sewing up the Craftsy BOM 2012 by hand!!!
Thanks heaps!
I have been trying to print out the April block of the sugar block club and it keeps telling me its a “page error”…. so what can I do now? your children are so so so cute
Bonjour,

I just finished my April block! I am IN LOVE with this block!! I reversed my orange and yellow though just for something different since I have basically copied your colors (but you do them so well!!). I think I will be making a whole quilt out of this block! And I am NOT a paper piecer!! But maybe I will become one yet! Thanks Amy!!
Hi amy, I joined up to your club yesterday and still haven’t recieved anything… I have clicked on your email button and it wont let me send you an email either so was just wondering if you could help me to figure out whats going wrong…
Hi Crafty Quilteer: I just joined the SBC. You never know I might need your help/opinions sometime. I am also in the Craftsy BOM as well; so this will be fun. Be well.
HELP, I subscribed to the Sugar Block Cube (paid my money), and received the welcoming email. This morning I received an email about the January block, however, I cannot locate a link to the instructions for the block. How do I find the instructions?
Thanks
