Category: Block of the Month
I rallied at the eleventh hour on Sunday and got my BOM Rehab block done. This is block nine of the Mystery BOM featuring a 3 Sisters Christmas collection called Grace, that was sponsored by the Fatquartershop. Finally, I seem to be over the miserable virus that laid me low last week. I even felt […]
Honestly, I have come down with whatever virus Baby E has had, and feel like c&#p. Tylenol helps, but not nearly enough. (She seems to have recovered and is back to her happy self). So, just a short post to show you that I rallied and made my BOM Rehab Monday blocks. It just about […]
I finished six filler blocks this week for the BOM Rehab project. My block for next week will be a basket block for this same BOM, which is several years old and called Simply Sophisticated, fabric by Blackbird Designs. Who knows, if I get the notion, perhaps I will make a block for my 2010 […]
Hi there. I seem to be off my posting schedule this week, due to family circumstances. Grandpa is doing ok. He is in the hospital, but they still have not been able to do his surgery because his blood levels aren't quite right yet. With any luck, the surgery will take place today. My husband […]
Just a quickie post today because I have to organize things for Grandpa. Before leaving town to take him to the doctor, I scrambled to finish up one block from the 2011 Designer Mystery BOM, and am so glad I made the effort. These blocks are fun. And big too, so they go fast. In […]
My Easter weekend surely was a mixed bag. On the one hand, we had glorious weather. On the other, everything that could go wrong seemed to do that. This was supposed to be the big weekend to move Grandpa into a little cottage on the nearby golf course. He got through the day just fine, […]
There is a free applique Block of the Month program going on right now on Anne Sutton's fabulous blog Bunny Hill. The pattern is called Henrietta Whiskers, and is just about the cutest thing I have ever seen. The pattern is free to download right now, but when November arrives, the free link will disappear […]
Today was one of those days when I should have stopped while I was ahead. My plan was to get caught up on some of the Block of the Month projects I have joined, since heaven knows I haven't been keeping up all that well. I must have a dozen blocks to make in all […]
I joined the Simply Sophisticated Block of the Month Club through Fat Quarter Shop a few months ago. Three mailings have arrived at my door, but I am behind in my sewing, and haven't had much of a chance to get started on the project. Since I am a lady of leisure these days, […]
In between breaking up dog fights (a REALLY bad idea, I found), I did get some sewing done this past weekend. I was in a mood to sit down and accomplish something tangible in a brief period of time, and managed to complete two blocks from the Designer Mystery BOM that Fatquartershop has going […]
