Happy August!

A new month brings a new block pattern for our Hop, Skip & Jump BOM.

This month's block is less complicated than Block 2 and comes together pretty quickly with the help of some simple paper piecing.

If you're a subscriber, patterns and block kits are on their way!

Not a subscriber, but want to join the fun? Sign up for the PDF pattern subscription here.

Happy Sewing!  :-)

Hop Skip & Jump BOM - Block #2

Happy July 1st!  The Hop, Skip & Jump BOM Block #2 pattern and kits shipped out today!

I love this block and think it would make a great scrappy polka dotted quilt, too!  :-)  If you're sewing along, don't forget to add your pictures to Flickr or tag them with #hopskipjumpbom on Instagram.  Want to join the fun?  Sign up for the pattern PDFs here.

Hop, Skip & Jump BOM : Block 1

Welcome to June!  Today officially starts our Hop, Skip, & Jump Block-of-the-Month program!

If you are participating, you should have already received your pattern by email.  If you're not ... there is still time to join before we stop taking reservations for monthly kits.  And you can join anytime for the PDF patterns.  Learn more here.

Happy Sewing!  :-)

Hop, Skip, & Jump: Happy Go Lucky is En Route!

I don't think excited is really a big enough word for what I felt when I saw that this collection has officially been shipped our way!  So thrilled that our order plus almost all of the extra I ordered is now en route to our shop.  Oh. My. Gosh. Y'all!! I am so excited for two reasons ... (1) I love this collection and (2) I can start cutting kits and those of you on the wait list will get to cut and stitch with this stuff, too.  Hip hip hooray!  So, if you are on the wait list ... check your email!

If you already have a reservation (for any or several of the three collections), be on the lookout for a very important email on Monday with monthly kit payment details as well as the opportunity to order border/binding and backing kits - they will be in limited supply.

We'll have yardage for this collection available on the website later this weekend as well ... I will update y'all here when its all set and ready to add to your cart!

Happy Sewing!  :-)

Hop, Skip & Jump BOM - More Options!

Great news to share with you today...

I cannot tell you how excited I am about this block of the month program!  It is going to be so much fun stitching along with you all.  I can't wait to send out the bonus block pattern for all subscribers tomorrow - who's ready?!

We've been overwhelmed at the response to our BOM. Since this is our first one, we really just didn't know if anyone would sign up.  (Silly, right!?) Well, while we are still very hopeful to add more Happy Go Lucky kits in the next few weeks, we have also opened up monthly block kits in two additional collections - see below for the prints included in these kits.  Spaces are limited, so if you've been on the fence, now is the time to join!

 Honey, Honey by Kate Spain

PB&J by Basic Grey

And if you have a stack of pretties in your stash that you want to use, the patterns are still $10 through tomorrow (May 15th, after which they will be $12).

Happy Sewing!  :-)

Hey there friends in fabric!

Just a quick update for those of you participating in our Hop, Skip & Jump BOM program.

Everyone should have received an "official" email from us by now with confirmation of your pattern only subscription, your kit reservation, or an update on our wait list. If you have not received one, please make sure (1) is isn't in your junk/spam folder and (2) that you've added "sewlux (at) gmail (dot) com" to your contacts.  If you've checked those two things and still don't have it, please email us and we'll check it out.

You're going to want to make sure you are getting our emails because you'll find a bonus block pattern arriving in your inbox on the 15th!  So get excited!!!

Not signed up yet?!  There is still time - get your PDF Patterns only subscription for just $10 through 5/15 ($12 after the 5/15).  Or email us to get on the wait list for the kits - we are working on making more kits available (more on that on 5/20/13).

It's going to be a lot of fun!

Happy Sewing! :-)

Introducing : Hop, Skip & Jump BOM

Y'all I am sooo stoked to kick off our very first block-of-the-month (aka BOM) program!  I mean, like, really excited!  If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably seen me share assorted photos as I have been working on the project - the design, the images, etc.  Well, its time to share all the deets!

What Are We Making?
This quilt will have twelve 12-inch blocks, some sashing, two borders and will finish at 60 in x 74 in.

You Can Do It!
First of all, this is a beginner-friendly quilt that requires no special rulers or equipment.  We'll be rotary cutting, marking a few special lines for some blocks, but y'all can do it!  There are two basic, traditional blocks that we'll be working on over the course of the BOM and we'll just add some special touches to them to jazz them up a little.

How Does It Work?
Each month from June 2013-May 2014, you'll receive a new block pattern.  Patterns will be delivered to subscribers in PDF format by e-mail.  Patterns will include step-by-step instructions, photos, and cutting diagrams to help you make your blocks. The last month of the BOM, you will also receive instructions for completing your quilt.

There are TWO types of subscriptions for our BOM program.

1. Reserve your spot to receive printed patterns and a block kit in the mail each month.  This includes all the fabric you need for each month's block, printed patterns, access to the PDF version of the patterns, and a few little surprises along the way! :-)  See all the details about this option, including the reservation fee and monthly pricing, here. Quantities are limited.
2. Or sign up to receive the patterns only by e-mail.  Sign up by 5/15 for just $10.  (Price will be $12 after 5/15/13.) 

Block kit subscribers will be making their quilt in the beautiful Happy Go Lucky line from Bonnie & Camille (yardage arrives in May - precuts available now).

Share & Connect
The Hop, Skip, & Jump Flickr group is ready to go!  You'll be able to share your blocks, ask questions and cheer each other on as we go.

Grab the button on top of the left side bar and add it to your blog!

All the complete details on signing up can be found here.  If you have any questions, please email us at sewlux (at) gmail (dot) com or leave a comment.

Coming Soon!!!

Details to be announced later this week!  :-)
