If you missed the first three, here's your chance to sign up for the next three. lindamh, how did you like the first three months? Are you going to sign up for the next three? Did anyone else join this and can give us a review?

Wow! They already had 3 months? I only saw 1 and that was the last month's one. I'll have to look around and see if I can find them somewhere

So far, we've received 2 of the three months. June will be previewed tomorrow and I assume will ship in the next week or so. The birthday set pictured above was April. May was a geometric set that I liked a lot. (I'll see if I can find a pic of the second set, but then I'll have to figure out how to get it on here. Never done that before!) As for signing up for the next three months, I'm up in the air, but that's a life decision, not a reflection on the stencils. If all was going smoothly around here, I'd sign up for the last three months, absolutely. We're in the middle of one of those spells when things are happening around the house and in life that were not anticipated in the budget. I'm sure ya'll can relate to that! Anyway, I'm waiting for the reveal tomorrow. If I love the third set as much as the first two, I'm going to go ahead and sign up for the rest. Factoring in to that is the knowledge that after the next three are done in October they won't be offering this club any longer, so this is not a long-term obligation. I'll let you know how it goes!

azcrafty , if you search in Facebook videos for "Quad of the Month" they will come up.

Let's see if I figured this out . . . . Hopefully a pic of the May quad will magically appear here . .
Edited to add this is not my picture. I borrowed it from the TE Fans Facebook group. I had it saved on my computer because I really liked the color combination!

Thanks lindamh , I love that one! Not too crazy about the birthday one but I did sign up for the next three months. I ordered a bunch of stuff from TE and got this month's freebie - the chicken stencil! Can't wait to play with that one. My daughter lives on a ranch and has chickens.

Ooh, I do really like that one... but not so much the other. I'm reminding myself that I have other products (owned or on a wishlist) that I like for the same reasons so there's no need to have regrets about missing out on this. But if I could buy the May one I probably would. I don't want it enough to join any Fbk/buy sell trade groups though!

That May stencil was so versatile! You could even use it to make cards for different holidays by just changing the colors. If June's is as versatile as this one. I'm in! (Secretly hoping it is, so I can convince myself to sign up again.)
I love that freebie! Those chickens are adorable, and funny!

I am tempted. I actively disliked the first set though. I LOVE the second set and hope to eventually find someone, somewhere who doesn’t care for it (fat chance, I know).
If there is a sneak of the third month tomorrow, I’ll look for that and then decide.

I watched Taylor's preview of the June Quad Club on Facebook and decided to go on and extend my membership. (I'm not going to describe it in case anyone is wanting to be surprised.)
I have to say that I didn't immediately love the quad this time. But, I kept watching and the more I saw of it, the more I liked it. Primarily because it was very different from any other stencil I had. As I thought about extending my membership I thought I really don't want more of the same, so getting some things that are "different" for me is a good thing. We'll see what the next three months bring.

Well darn it. I really like the latest one and again hope to find someone who doesn't care for it. I had hoped I wouldn't like it so I could say no to signing up for the next 3 months. Now I am back to "decisions, decisions..."

The latest set is giving me a very 70's retro live plants in the house vibe from my childhood! Yet I think it can also look modern. I was not excited at all with the first quad set but I do like the second and third. TE is such a hit or miss for me that I'm just not ready to pull the trigger on 3 month subscription. I did join their buy/sell Facebook group and there have been a couple sales of the mod stencil set when someone put an ISO post up.

I'm waiting (not so patiently) for June 15th which is when an ISO post for the Pattern Party QOTM is allowed. I think trying to find someone to give theirs up may be an exercise in futility though... Totally agree with your thoughts about the new one. As a child who came of age during that time period, maybe that's why it speaks to me so strongly as well.

Why not go ahead and sign up? If you don't like the selection for the month, from what I've seen on that Facebook group, you'll have no problem selling them for the full price there.

I keep resisting the quads because there is always a quad or two that I really dislike. I know I could just not ink blend that one, but it seems like a waste if I only like 50%-75% of the item.

I agree, cmpeter. The sets where I can see using all four are few and also tend to be the most versatile/generic/geometric.

My issue is sort of similar…I’ve been tempted to cut the stencils in quarters but it’s mainly so I can easily line up the individual designs. I find the designs don’t line up perfectly which makes me cringe when I’m done.

With the Quads and Triple Slims there are definitely panels that I don't like as much as the others. I make enough donation cards that it doesn't bother me too much

Well, sure, but with the celebrate quad, for example, it’s the graduation panel I have limited use for, and I don’t know of a charity that takes them either.
That said, I’ve been kind of obsessed (but in a weird on the back burner way) with mini slimlines ever since the SLoC in that format a few months ago. So if they follow this with a triple of the month, I’m sure I’ll cave.

If so, I haven't paid much attention to it, but which of the 4 is the graduation panel? Or am I totally missing the Celebrate Quad?

My apologies MichyM . It's actually called "Hooray." Which sounds all generic and multi-purpose, but then there're those mortarboard hats in that one quadrant and.... There's a triple slim called Celebrate, so I got them confused.

There is a work around for those mortarboard hats if you have a Minc/laminator. The Foil It Hooray Birthday has one panel that replaces the hats with birthday cakes. Foil the panel and eliminate the one layer of the quad stencil with the hats for that one quadrant.

Interesting idea, but I don't have a laminator and am trying to avoid the foil rabbit hole.

I love that color combo, too! ETA I signed up. I already have her binder for them, so I may as well!

A little FYI. I posted an ISO on the TE BST group on FB this morning. It was the first day selling of the Pattern Party CIQ set was allowed. I had a reply quickly and have one on its way to me for $35 shipped.
So if you’re also looking for this set, give it a go. There was at least one other person whose ISO was fulfilled this morning as well. Good luck!
