Category: Block of the Month
Hey, everyone, how is your week going? My Wednesday was a lot better than the earlier part of the week, that's for sure. I finally said "No" to a commitment that has been making me unhappy and stressing me out, and I feel as if the weight of the world has been lifted off my […]
Honestly, without Sinta's BOM Rehab program, this Designer Mystery BOM would still be languishing in its project box. I am delighted to say that I have now completed the twelth and last block! Woo hoo! Now the next step is to cut out and start constructing the lattice, which appears pretty simple. This is where […]
Back on track this week with the BOM Rehab, I am happy to say! I finished Block Eleven of the Peace on Earth Designer Mystery BOM over the weekend. That project is definitely coming together and all that will remain will be the lattice, which involves a star pattern and is awfully pretty. I've been […]
Luckily this block was the easiest thing in the world to make, or I probably would have missed the BOM Rehab deadline today! Well, it is still Monday where I live, and I did come in just under the wire. I was wrong about the name of this collection of fabric in a previous post. […]
What a glorious weekend we had here in my little neck of the woods. Perfect weather in all ways. A little work, a little play, some family time, some sewing, and some good food. I got the binding on my T is for Thelma Schnibble and you can see it all pretty on my kitchen […]
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 […]
