Do you enjoy a fun Block of the Month? I have one just for you! Introducing the Flower Shop Six-Month BOM by Heather Briggs of My Sew Quilty Life! This BOM features the new fabric collection, Dainty Meadow, from Moda Fabrics. Join me monthly starting November 2024 as we make the Flower Shop quilt. Quilt shops and Heather Briggs of My Sew Quilty Life will have BOM kits (fabric + patterns) to make the adorable Flower Shop quilt. Contact your favorite local quilt shop to see if they will be participating.
​
New Update to the Flower Shop BOM.
There will no longer be an exclusive membership for this BOM. Read more info below:
It is important to note that the Flower Shop BOM will be run differently than the Flower Stand BOM. Due to a high request from my customers and quilt shops, I have decided to offer this BOM differently, so that it can be more accessible for everyone. The BOM experience will now be all virtual. Included in the Flower Shop BOM kit from your local quilt shop will be the fabric to complete the entire quilt (not including backing fabric) and 7 blocks patterns and the finishing pattern. Please note, there will be no extra goodies/monthly giveaways/envelopes in the Flower Shop BOM kit. Don't worry–if you love the Ultimate BOM Experience from Flower Stand, I am excited to tell you that I have made the Ultimate BOM Experience all virtual. All you need to do is purchase the patterns or kit and you will be included in the BOM Experience. All supporting BOM materials will be digital downloads. See more below:

List of Participating Shops
I have compiled a list of all the shops offering Flower Shop BOM kits. I will try to keep this current, removing shops that sell out and adding new shops. Most shops are offering the kit in one full payment and a few shops as a monthly resevation. Choose the option that works best for you. The shops are in no particular order. Some shops have an online listing and other shops you will need to call to reserve your kit. Check back often.

Fabric Requirements
Questions
1.Why are you offering the BOM differently this time?
In order to keep the cost down of the patterns for quilt shops and customers, and accommodate more participants internationally. As mentioned previously, this is an experiment. If we decide we prefer the way we ran the Flower Stand BOM better, we will discuss options for future BOMs.
2. Will you offer the BOM Patterns on your site?
Yes, to meet the demand of the BOM, I will be offering the patterns as well as a limited amount of the full BOM kit (patterns & fabric). My goal is to help the quilt shops sell out of their kits first. Please purchase your kit from a quilt shop before purchasing it from my shop. ​
If you would like to purchase just the BOM patterns to use your own fabric, you can preorder just the BOM patterns from my shop. <inset link>
​​
​
3. Why do I not see many monthly BOM subscriptions like Flower Stand?
Unfortunately in order to reduce the amount of cutting quilt shops would have to do to prepare kits and to not sacrifice the design of the quilt, I decided that the fabric requirements would be best suited for a precut (layer cake) with minimal additional yardage. This helps reduce the time it will take the quilt shops to prepare the kits and allow them to get them out faster. Because the fabric is a precut, most shops have chosen to offer this BOM as a full kit instead of a monthly pay as you go option. Some shops may allow you to pay for all the fabric up front then do a monthly installment for the patterns. It is up to the quilt shop as to how they would like to run the BOM.
​
4. Can I work ahead?
If your quilt shop gives you all 6 patterns up front, and are more than welcome to work ahead. ​
​
5. Why does the Flower Shop kit feel more expensive than the Flower Stand kit?
The Flower shop quilt is larger than the Flower Stand quilt, so it requires more fabric to complete.
​
6. Will you offer a panel for hand embroidery?
Yes! I will have preprinted panels available in my shop if you prefer to not hand embroider the words/signs.
​
7. Do I have to use the Dainty Meadow fabric to participate?
No, you can use whichever fabric you would like for the Flower Shop BOM. You will need to purchase the patterns only at mysewquiltylife.com​
