Craftsy Block of the Month Tour + Giveaway!

Hey all! Welcome to the first stop on the Craftsy Block of the Month Tour! If you're new to these parts feel free to pull up a chair, put up your feet, and stay awhile - and if you've been around here for awhile you know I love you! Stick around until the end of this post because... let's just say, there might be something in it for you!


Since I'm the first stop on the tour I thought it would be both prudent and fun to start off with a little overview of the Block of the Month course. Block of the Month is a free video course being hosted by the super-talented Amy Gibson of Stitchery Dickory Dock; each month Amy walks participants through making one or two 12x12" quilt blocks with the end goal of having a 20 block sampler quilt at the end of the year. Since this is a video course you get to actually see Amy cut and sew each block step-by-step and are able to follow along with her, pausing, and rewinding whenever you need. One of the neatest things (I think at least) about how the videos are set up is that each one is divided into sections (introduction to the block, cutting fabrics, etc) so that participants can do each step in manageable sections if they so choose rather than feeling that everything needs to be done all at once.


Here is a picture of Amy with the January blocks - the January video is called "Slashed Blocks" and features both the Asterisk and Wonky Pound Sign blocks.


February's blocks feature half-square triangles and include the Balkan Puzzle and Chunky Chevron blocks. In case you want to know, you can't skip ahead in the videos - you have to wait for each month's to be released but I can tell you they look so fun! Each month also includes a printable materials list and the full set of instructions in PDF format. Cratsy's courses and workshops are set up in such a way that participants can all see and interact with each other with a discussion forum being featured beneath each video - if you go and take a look you can see that many people are asking and answering questions, showing off their blocks, and just generally having fun together. As the instructor of the course, Amy is also available to answer any questions and help participants along the way.

I have watched the first couple of videos (unfortunately I haven't been able to get started on my blocks yet though) and I think Amy is a natural! I have already suggested this course to a couple of first-time quilters but I also think that the not-so-first-timers will like it a lot too! It's so nice to participate in a quilt along with a bunch of other people with minimal pressure - you don't even need to keep up and make the blocks each month you can just jump in whenever you'd like since the videos will continue to be available at least throughout the year. It's also a bit of a mystery quilting experience too since the blocks are only unveiled when each month's video comes out.


Alrighty then, as promised, there might just be something in it for you for sticking around with me until the end! Fat Quarter Shop has generously donated a $25 USD gift certificate to each of the 14 blogs participating in the tour to give away! That's right - that means that when each of us puts up our tour post on our respective blogs you can enter to win! Can you imagine if you won all 14?! That would be way-awesome - however I'm putting my money on zero chance in a frozen hell of that happening! One can dream though...

Okay, so I guess you want to know how to enter, right? You have two chances but please be sure to leave separate comments for each entry. Here's what you've got to do:


1. Leave a comment letting my know if you have participated in a BOM or other type of block-making quilt-along (i.e. Blogger's Block-a-Palooza, FWQAL etc) before and what you thought about it. 
If not, why not?
(Also, if you're participating in the Craftsy BOM, let me know!)

2. Leave another comment if you are a follower of my blog.
That's it! Two easy-peasy ways to enter! I will close the comments in a week (on March 2nd) and announce the winner here on the blog. International entries are, as always, welcome! Also, please remember that I have comment moderation enabled so if you don't see your comment right away it just means that I haven't had the chance to approve it yet (duplicate comments will be deleted).

I really hope that you guys enjoyed my stop on the tour and learned a little something new about Craftsy and/or the Craftsy BOM! If you still need to know more I posted a bit more about Craftsy in this post and be sure to check them out here! And just in case you're interested you can find me on Craftsy here!

  1. I am doing my first ever BOM right now and just got the first month's package yesterday. It is Merry Merry Snowman by Bunny Hills designs.

  2. I am doing the Craftsy BOM. :) Amy's instruction is fantastic btw. This is also my first BOM, although I have done quilt alongs where each block was slightly different (Clover and Violet Embroidery 101 for one). Thanks for the chance to win!

    ReplyDelete
  3. I have never done a BOM before, but this may well be my first one! I love the asterisk block, and I love the idea of being able to see how it is made.

  4. I am a happy regular follower of your blog!

  5. I am just finishing up my last month of a BOM at my LQS. I don't think I will do another from a LQS. I hope it's ok that it wasn't an online BOM?

    ReplyDelete
  6. I too have never participated in a BOM. :) Sounds like fun though! Thanks for the chance to win!

  8. I have never done a quilt along but it sounds like fun. In fact, my husband and I are planning on doing this once we get moved. I have been following along as best as I can. Will have to get home computer up and running by May. Everyone's blocks are beautiful. Here's hopping to win.

  9. I joined the craftsy BOM but haven't gotten past opening the first set of instructions... maybe this weekend will finally be the day! This is my first BOM attempt.

    ReplyDelete
  10. My first ever BOM is Amy's on Craftsy! I am amazed at how huge it is, but Amy is awesome, so I guess it isn't surprising! Thanks so much!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I'm a follower of your blog. Thanks again!

    ReplyDelete
  12. I've never done a BOM - I kinda feel I'd never keep up then it wouldn't get finished!!

    ReplyDelete
  13. The BOM is my first and I'm loving it! Getting excited for the first of the month again :-)

    ReplyDelete
  14. I am doing the Craftsy BOM. While not my 1st BOM, it is my 1st modern one. I am enjoying the different blocks.

  17. I've order some BOM and partially completed a few but I've never done a video BOM. What a cool idea! I'll have to check it out ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  18. I am participating in a BOM with my local quilt shop. I am going to look at the Blogger's Block-a-Palooza and FWQAL I didn't know about them until today.

    I am participating in the Craftsy BOM, I am using Christmas fabric.

    I just started following your blog, I love the picture of you sleeping with fabric.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I never joined any BOM. I think this is my first time. I think follow the instructions through a video is very helpful.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I'm quilting along w/ Amy Gibson and the BOM on Craftsy.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I've never participated in a BOM before. I would like to but for some reason or other, it doesn't happen. Maybe next year :o)

    ReplyDelete
  22. I'm participating in the Sew Happy Geek quilt-along right now it is my first quilt-along and I'm really enjoying it. I will definitely join another quilt-along when it finishes.

    ReplyDelete
  23. The craftsy bom is my first and I find the presenter very easy to follow. I am new to machine patchwork, rotary cutting etc. I am also on day 12 of Temecula's (I know I've spelt that wrong) pattern.

  25. I participated in the Simple Sampler Quilt-Along at Amy's Creative Side, and liked it so much I used to it teach simple piecing skills to the ladies in my sewing group! So far, I'm not doing this quilt along, but that's only because I've got too much on my plate to add anything else right now! Looks like fun, though!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I'm doing the craftsty BOM club and have completed the blocks for January and February, it's my first attempt at anything like it, Amy is a great teacher :). I love your blog and I will defiantly be back!!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I'm new to the internet quilting world but i've done a couple of block of the month quilts. I will definitely follow your blog.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Yay! Great way to kick things off, Kaye! I'm currently in the Craftsy BOM and a stop along the tour. :-) Great post! XxOo~M

    ReplyDelete
  29. I think I might check out the craftsy bom...I've never done one before, mainly because I was afraid I was going to pay for blocks that I didn't end up loving--I'm a little wary of the mystery element when I'm paying for it....

    ReplyDelete
  30. I've never done a BOM or participated in a QAL while they are going on, but I have taken inspiration from the images posted by the blogger or the other participants after the fact!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I'm a follower! Thanks for the chance!

    ReplyDelete
  32. WEll I just found out about this block of the month, so I am no currently participating. I do have lots of quilt projects going though... does that count?

    ReplyDelete
  33. I've never done a BOM- after adding up the entire program plus S&H, it's always waaaaaaaay more than I feel comfortable spending. There haven't been any that I covet enough to spend that much. I usually want to change the fabrics they're using, too, but that's not an option. I just did my first quilt along online online, though, which was a very fun experience. I wish BOM's had a pattern-only option- then I probably would bite the bullet, since I could use my fabric choices (or stash) and not feel like I just blew 2 student loan payments.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I am also a follower. Thanks for the chance to win! I'll have to go back and check out the Craftsy BOM.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I have done a block series before. I loved it. want to do more.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I just signed up to be a follower :)

    ReplyDelete
  37. I do a bom with my local quilt shop called the saturday sampler. I love it. the only thing I would change is that I would have them give out slightly more fabric than we get , cause there is no room for error with the current amount.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I did the Block-a-palooza & the Patchwork Squared QAL last year & really enjoyed them. It didn't bother me to not know what was coming up and in both, I loved all but 1 block in each.
    Why are these words that blogger uses so hard now!

    ReplyDelete
  39. I'm a follower-I think I found your blog during Block-a-palooza!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I haven't done any block of he months. I'm pretty new to quilting still. I have several online ones bookmarked for when I have fewer wips and more confidence, though!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I'm brand new to learning how to quilt and jumped right in. I've done all 4 for Craftsy, joined Sew.Happy.Geek and Fresh Lemons Quilt for the BOM. So much fun!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I'm a brand new follower. Can't wait to check it out. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I am participating in Amy Gibson's Craftsy block of the month program. I love the tutorials and they are amazingly easy to follow. I have done many block of the month quilts, from LQSs, and local quilt guild.

    Thank you for the opportunity to enter this contest.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I have completed 3 of the 4 Craftsy BoM. It is so exciting to learn a new technique everyday!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Following your blog! Very inspirational!

    ReplyDelete
  46. I've never taken part in a BOM or quilt-along. The projects I'm involved with right now take up my time already. :)

    ReplyDelete
  47. I participated in the Schnibbles QAL, but lost steam when we PCS'ed, and I did the Pinwheel QAL. I had fun with both!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I am doing the Craftsy BOM. It is so fun! Amy Gibson rocks as a teacher. My sister and I are doing the course together and we are loving it.

    ReplyDelete
  49. My first several quilts were sampler blocks/BOMs but I never quite liked the business of them. I prefer a more defined look to my quilts so don't do those types of QALs any more. I do the other types though, esp if it's a new to me technique or concept.

    ReplyDelete
  50. This will be my first sew along -just been quilting over a year and anxous to learn proper techniques.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I've been watching the Craftsy BOM but haven't made any yet. I do like BOMs, both on line and through local quilt shops. It gives me something to accomplish in the month, and at the end of the year a wonderful quilt. kathie L in Allentown

  52. I'm also one of your followers. Kathie L in allentown

    ReplyDelete
  53. The first BOM I did was Bunny Hill's Snowbound and loved it! I am also participating in the Craftsy BOM and loving it! I'm fairly new to quilting so I'm learning some interesting techniques.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I am a follower. I have been doing a BOM program through my LQS.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I have never done a BOM sort of a thing before. I guess partly because the purchase of all the material for it isn't the way I sew. If it were blocks that were random and could use my scraps i think I could do it. I think the accountability would be good for me to finish something along with others. Thanks so much for your great blog and for the giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  56. I have never done a BOM course because I was a little too intimidated to join up. But the Craftsy one seems very manageable! I may have to see if I can catch up and join in the fun! Thanks for the introduction and the chance to win.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I am a happy follower of your blog - Thanks!!

    ReplyDelete
  58. I'm doing Craftsy's BOM. This is my first and I'm loving it!

    ReplyDelete
  59. I've never participated in a BOM before, but I think it can be a good way to learn new techniques for a beginner like me.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I haven't participated in a BOM yet being a new quilter, but I am signed up for the Craftsy class and I'm enjoying seeing the blocks. I definitely want to make some of them.

    ReplyDelete
  61. I did a BOM with a nearby fabric shop. Each month the fabric and pattern were mailed to me. Fun.... Yes, I plan to follow the Craftsy BOM.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Happily following you!

  65. The craftsy online classes are so great. This is my first BOM and the explanations from Amy are wonderfull and easy to understand. I'm from germany.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I'm following along with the craftsy BOM as well, but like you haven't made any of the blocks yet. I have too many other things on the go!! I also recently participated in the Sparkle QAL which was a lot of fun, though I felt like the instructions came out too slowly and I had to wait a lot. Call me impatient. It was fun though!

    ReplyDelete
  67. I follow your blog via google reader.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I am trying the Craftsy BOM videos. I love this format because I can choose my own fabrics and don't have to worry about international shipping costs each month. And I love the access to help from Amy and the other participants. Great way to get back into quilting!

    ReplyDelete

The other is a BOM from my local quilt shop, Park Bench. The BOM I'm doing locally is called Amish with a Twist. A friend and I are starting when she gets back from a out-of-town job assignment. I'm really looking forward to trying my hand at quilting!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  87. I haven't dona a BOM yet, mostly because I have a bit of craft ADD and am afraid I won't finish what I start.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I've done several QALs. Currently I'm following along with two - one is a weekly installment and the other is every other week. I think they are great skill builders.

    ReplyDelete
  100. I am participating in the Craftsy BOM. I have never been involved in a quilt-a long before because I am a newer quilter. The videos are easy to follow and I am looking forward to completed all parts of the quilt by the end of the year!

    ReplyDelete
  101. This is the first online block of the month that I have participated in and I am most excited. I too am yet to start, but I am about to order the fat quarter bundle that I really want to use.

    The other block of the month project I have participated in before was through my local patchwork and quilting store and we all visited once a month for a demonstration of one or two blocks. I have also got all of the things aside for a fundraising quilt which is BOM for Ovarian Cancer.

    ReplyDelete
  102. I am doing the Craftsy BOM and have completed the January blocks. February has been a trying month and I haven't done those yet. Love the ability to go back and watch the instructions again and to print out.

    ReplyDelete
  103. I am new to visiting your blog but I'm really looking forward to following you. My blog is very much in its infant stages and I am keen to look at the blogs of other crafters to see what people are interested in reading.Your tour post is great!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  107. I have followed a few other BOM's in the past but didn't feel comfortable enough yet in my skills to do any of them. I did start following Amy's BOM on Craftsy though and am very much hoping to get some of them completed. (too many family things in the past month so I haven't had the chance to start any of them yet).

    ReplyDelete
  108. I am already a follower of your blog.

    ReplyDelete
  109. I have never done a block of the month but would like to try one.

    ReplyDelete
  110. I participate in the BOM. January is done and February nearly half done! I am a novice quilter and I love how easy it is to follow the instructions.

    ReplyDelete
  111. Yes, I am doing the Block of the Month BOM. I LOVE IT. Looking forward to March's Block. Thanks Amy

    ReplyDelete
  112. I am doing the craftsy block of the month and love it! I love the fact I can "replay" to look at techniques, versus bom that I have done at sewing shops, I can always go back to Amy's video!

    ReplyDelete
  113. Yes, I participated in a Quilt Along at PS I Quilt blog, it was a postage stamp quilt along and I made a king sized postage stamp quilt, it was my 1st quilt along. I have never participated in a BOM - yet. But I would love to, I like going along at a slow pace but not too slow because then I will get sidetracked by wanting to start another project.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Yes Im a follower to Miss Print on Facebook too!

    ReplyDelete
  115. I never have participated in a BOM or other type of block-making quilt-along. I expect I will someday though.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Bloggers Block a Palooza was my very first QAL. Also did LMS Birdie Stitches and the P2 Modern, and Uberfest. It was great fun and my first lessons in making flying geese.

    ReplyDelete
  117. I'm doing the craftsy bom. Super fun!

    ReplyDelete
  118. I'm having a great time with the BOM with Amy ... with her help I am getting past making nothing but little blocks ... I hope there are more of these next year!

    ReplyDelete
  119. I've done a bunch of QAL. My only frustration is that all the fun ones seem to time themselves at the same time, and I can't do them all....

    ReplyDelete
  120. I am doing the Craftsy BOM. I have done Saturday Sampler BOMs at the LQS in the past.

    ReplyDelete
  121. I just discovered your blog and about the BOM. May have to give this one a shot, sounds like fun. Like the idea that I can play catch up! Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  122. I've never done a BOM. I guess I pride myself as a somewhat rebel & eschew traditional quilting methods. I started by learning traditional blocks but now? I want very little to do with them. I'm not interested in measuring or perfect points. I want some that is different and new and visually interesting but doesn't frustrate me to put together. Rules tend to frustrate me :)

    ReplyDelete
  123. I'm doing Amy's BOM and have been un-patiently waiting for March, I really like the way she gives her instructions and my friend Roslyn is also doing them with me :)

    ReplyDelete
  124. I'm Craftsy BOMing, my first BOM. As a beginner, having to complete only two blocks a month gives me time to make and fix lots of mistakes!

    ReplyDelete
  125. I have not participated in a BOM but this looks interesting!

    ReplyDelete
  126. Doing the crafty Bom! Loving it. Now following you!

    ReplyDelete
  127. Yes, I did the Block-a-Palooza and others, too. I just might do this one, but I'd have to go to the library to get fast speed to watch the video. I'd love to enter your giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  128. I am Doing the BOM from Amy and love it so far. I have done BOMs at my LQS as well as a mystery quilt there. Always fun!

    ReplyDelete
  129. I have participated in several BOM'S over the last 5 years. I really love doing BOM'S because I always learn something. Yes I am doing Craftsy BOM and have loved it so much I am doing 3 at a time.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Yes am following your blog...love it.

    ReplyDelete
  131. My first ever BOM is the Craftsy bom. I started out great and then was gone for over 2 weeks for the second set of blocks, so I am already falling behind. But unless I get waylaid again, this will also be my very first quilt!! at the age of 60...or 61 by the time we get to the end.

    ReplyDelete
  132. I'm doing the Craftsy BOM with my 2 daughters, 10 and 13. We love Amy!

    ReplyDelete
  133. I have never participated in a BOM or ever even quilted before. I joined the Craftsy BOM in January and am loving it so far!

    ReplyDelete
  134. I'm doing the Craftsy BOM. I really enjoy looking at all the pics uploaded by others. The variety is amazing. I must say, I'm looking forward to the first of each month!

    ReplyDelete
  135. I've never done a BOM . . . I've always had so many of my own projects going on that it has never crossed my mind. I'll have to check this one out. Thanks for the chance.

    ReplyDelete
  136. I haven't tried BOM or done much quilting. I'd love the fabric, though :) Thank you. mamalusco at ortelco dot net

  139. I am new to Blog and a new follower as well.

    ReplyDelete
  140. I've done block of the months through my Quilt Guild, but I'm pretty bad at getting my blocks done.

    I decided to join the Craftsy Block of the Month after seeing a lot of cut blocks posted there, plus thought it might be interesting - so far I'm loving it, and am learning new things (after 25 years of quilting!).

    ReplyDelete

  142. I'm a new sewer and I signed up for the BOM as a way to try quilting. I haven't been able to start the blocks yet, so I'm glad the videos are available all year :)

  143. I managed to convince a couple of my girlfriends to do the Craftsy BOM with me - it's been great fun.. one of my girlfriends is a beginner quilter while the other is more experienced and it's been an excellent opportunity for all of us to learn skills and new techniques no matter what our skill level :)

  144. I joined Craftsy Block of the Month to see what I can learn. I am fairly new to quilting, but have been sewing garments and other items for a number of years. I love Amys videos, and am learning quite a bit.

  147. I'm doing the Craftsy BOM - it's my first BOM, and I'm loving it SO much.

    I've done all the blocks from January and February, and I'm so pleased with them.

    Can't wait for March 1st!

  148. I am doing the Craftsy BOM. My first online class--I love it. I can go at my own pace and take my time. My ten year old daughter is working with me--she does some of the easier sewing, I do the rest. She has picked out all of the fat quarters for the quilt squares! It's been fun working together!

  149. I'd never even considered quilting, until I saw Craftsy advertise this Block of the Month course. Amy came across really friendly and helpful, and her tutorials seemed really clear and precise, so I decided I'd give it a go!
    So, I now have 4 blocks towards my first quilt, and can't wait for March's tutorial to be released, ao that I can have a go at those new blocks!
    My pieces haven't always turned out perfect, but I'm loving experimenting and learning along the way!

  152. I've never participated in a BOM event. I have a hard time knowing if I'll have time to actually make the blocks when I'm supposed to. :) Looks like a lot of fun though! Maybe someday I'll try it!

  154. I am participating in the Craftsy BOM - I am enjoying it very much and love Amy's instruction-it is wonderful that she offers this fun BOM to us free! I have also signed up for several more Craftsy Quilting classes because of Amy's class and I am loving them also- Craftsy has a fantastic way of offering classes that can be accessed at ones own pace - excellent group of crafters and teachers!!
