BOM

I don't seem to be able to get much done lately. I am working on another project for work. I am trying to keep it a secret. I am terrible at keeping secrets. This project will be a sort of a club/demo. With the help of the two summer helpers at the store we cut up all the end of the bolt left overs into 2 1/2 inch strips. I have been wanting to use that fabric for something for a long time. (That is Bonnie Hunter's influence...use up those scraps).  Here is a sneak peak. More to come I promise.

I fell behind on my Sweet 16  BOM. This month I worked to get caught up. Some of the blocks will have beads, but I want to square all the blocks up first then I will add the beads. Without further ado here are the blocks.





I did finish the August block of my other BOM, but I haven't had a chance to get a picture yet. I will show it on the next post. I might even get to the September block. That would get me caught up on the BOMs at least.

Happy Stitching

  4. Absolutely incredible applique! I've been seeing some of those strippy throws for quick and easy projects, and in fact, I'll probably be doing some myself soon. Just curious; are you quilting as you go on those? ---"Love"

  5. Love those strips, those colors just really work together! The applique blocks? Just send them to me to play with, LOL. They look very Jacobean to me, a favorite of mine. Beautiful job on those, too!
