Funny Faces Quilt Block of the Month Club
Hi! You're invited to join the Funny Faces Quilt Block of the Month Club!
(If you're already a member you can access your account by logging in here.)
Every month (on the 1st) you'll get a new pattern for an applique quilt block.
Here's the current pattern for March 2023.
The blocks are all sized to finish at 10 inches square - so you can join them together into a funny faces quilt, or mix and match them with my other quilt patterns. They're so much fun to play with!
You'll also get free patterns for lots of other projects you can make with a single quilt block - pillows, tote bags, receiving blankets, placemats, and more. :-)
The club includes complete video instructions for Quilt as You Go and applique with fusible adhesive - my favorite way to make quilts.
As long as your membership is active, you'll have access to the virtual clubhouse where you'll download your new pattern every month and find all the video lessons and additional patterns
It's going to be so much fun! Join the club!
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a club membership cost?
It's just $4 a month!
What do I get as a member?
Each month you'll receive a brand new digital pattern for a block with a cute face on it - usually an animal face but there will be occasional monsters and people. The blocks will always be sized to finish at 10 inches square so you can combine them into a Funny Faces quilt, or mix and match them with other Shiny Happy World patterns. Members also have access to a library of how-to videos and free patterns for non-quilt projects to make with their blocks (pillows, tote bags, placemats, and more).
How are these designs different from the ones in the shop?
I create a brand new, exclusive design for the club every month. They're always sized so you can mix and match them with other Shiny Happy World quilt patterns.
Is this club for beginners?
Yes! In the clubhouse you'll find a library of video lessons teaching you every skill you'll need to make your blocks - plus lots of other projects.
I don't live in the US. Can club members be international customers?
Yes! Everything is delivered digitally, so there's nothing to ship - which means no pricey international shipping charges!
When will I get my first design?
As soon as you sign up! You get immediate access to the clubhouse where you can download the current month's pattern.
When will I get my design each month?
I upload the new pattern to the clubhouse sometimes during the day on the 1st of the month. As soon as I've checked to make sure it's working properly I send out an email letting club members know it's ready for download. I include the link to the download in the email.
How much is shipping?
It's free! Everything is delivered digitally, so there's nothing to ship.
When do I get charged?
Your credit card will be charged every thirty days, so the exact date of your charge every month will depend on when you signed up.
I've already made all of your quilts. Will these be new patterns?
Yes! Every club pattern is brand new. They'll be released in the shop after their month in the club is over - but then they'll be a little more expensive. Club members are getting 20% off what the price will be later in the shop.
What if I don't like the design I receive one month?
I try my best to design blocks I think club members will like, but I can't make everyone happy every time. :-( Sorry - trading out for a different pattern isn't an option.
Do I need a fancy sewing machine?
Nope. All of the patterns use a simple straight stitch - nothing fancy. If your machine has the ability to adjust the stitch length (all modern machines do) that will make it easier to sew around tight curves. You'll definitely want to have a walking foot for quilting your blocks. You can get a universal walking foot to fit just about any machine. It will also make outlining your pieces MUCH easier if you have a clear applique foot. Those are also available for just about any machine - and they're not expensive. If you don't have a clear applique foot, an open toe foot is your next best option.
What other supplies do I need?
Fabric, cotton batting, thread, and fusible adhesive. You'll find links to all my favorite tools and supplies in the clubhouse.
I'm not sure if I'm ready to make a full quilt. What else can I do with my pattern?
So many things! The clubhouse has links to free patterns for making tote bags, pillow covers, wall hangings, receiving blankets, placemats, Christmas stockings and more - all designed especially to incorporate these applique patterns.
What if I want to quit?
No problem. You can cancel your membership at any time.
The club started years ago. If I join now, do I get access to all the earlier patterns?
No. The club is designed so people can join at any time and quit at any time. While you're an active subscriber you get to download for free the current pattern of the month. You can buy patterns from previous months in the Shiny Happy World shop. You'll find links to those listings in the clubhouse.
