Quilt ADD in therapy

Colorado, United States
Other than my family, the passion of my life is quilting. An eclectic, I love a wide variety of styles and techniques encompassing both machine and hand work. I am a longarm quilter who can work for you. I enjoy any style, from pantographs to all-over to full custom, ranging from traditional to modern. I love bringing vintage tops to life and am willing to work with a challenging quilt top. Instagram: lyncc_quilts

Welcome to the link-up for BOMs Away Mondays!
Where we share what we're doing on a BOM-type project 
so they don't stall out in UFO-land!
(Linky at the bottom.)

OK, then! Everything should be back on normal schedule now! The "kids" are safely moved across the country, my sister's happily wedded, and I've been getting some vital feet-up resting time in this week.

Luckily, paper piecing is largely a sit down task. I got several sets of pieces made for Devon's Dinner Plate Dahlia - 

Just a few more sets remain, and I'll start assembling them.



Are you guys ready to share some BOM work since you've had two weeks of waiting?!

~*~*~*~

How about you? Have you done work on your BOMs lately?

Oh!  You guys, forgive me for forgetting to post the BOMs Away link up on time!

We are running like chickens without heads these days. . . 

Closing next Monday on this cute little house for Heather and Pat to move into:


Fitting my sister's out-of-nowhere wedding this Saturday into the chaos:


Frantically rehabilitating our yard before the HOA fines us:

Every bed looked like this
last one that I have to do
as soon as the thunder stops.
Turning into pretty stuff.
We have a very late flower season here -
actually still pushing the hail possibility.


























All while getting the moving process in motion.


Like I said, chickens with no heads!  :D

Zero quilting work whatsoever happening here right now.

BOMs Away - Hello! (Home from the cruise)





Welcome to the link-up for BOMs Away Mondays!
Where we share what we're doing on a BOM-type project 
so they don't stall out in UFO-land!
(Linky at the bottom.)

Boy, I'll tell you what - traveling really does a number on those of us with immune syndromes! Sorry to be late with this week's link up. It took me a full week to get myself back together after having an absolute blast on our 2-family cruise. I've only done tiny smidges of hand stitching BOM work in the past two weeks. I was having so much fun with family on our sea days, that I only accomplished this much work on my Octopuses Garden blocks:


This is as it should be.  :)


and after a week of being home, I only have this small set of pieces for Devon's Dahlias finished up for something to share:


But let me tell you - Caribbean cruises have the absolute BEST excursions you can go on.

We interacted with sea turtles and swam with and fed sting rays at Grand Cayman,


Super fun snorkeling in this lagoon habitat at Cayman Turtle Center -
I had one turtle swinging alongside me for several minutes, just hanging together. *love*
This is Stingray City, a sandbar offshore where dozens and dozens of stingrays come see the people
Photo actually taken four years ago, but we went back to this excursion
because it was so great and we wanted to see Pat and his sister experience this.


We toured Roatan Island off of Honduras and snorkeled its coral reef (some of us scuba'd)




Note to self: 
I'd love to spend a week at the currently-inexpensive resort and dive center at Anthony's Key off of Roatan, right next to the ****coolest**** dolphin research center/habitat that I've ever seen. 


The dolphins could clearly leave the enclosure any time they wanted to jump out, and they open all the gates every two days, anyway (it's not walled from the ocean in the first place, simply large-bore rope-netted), so the only dolphins in the enclosure doing tricks for people and giving encounter rides are those that WANT to do it. That is why, even though the shows are not as fancy and choreographed as you'll find at Sea World, etc., this is the absolute coolest dolphin place I've ever seen.


Pretty amazing. We watched workers entertaining the newer volunteer dolphins that were still untrained with hula hoops, balls, and trick lessons if they wanted to do that, so that the dolphins who'd come often enough to have the training to interact with people could do their thing unimpeded. 

We climbed on ancient Mayan pyramids in Belize,

sitting on the side of The High Temple at Lamanai, Belize

The Mask Temple at Lamanai, Belize

On top of the world at Lamanai, Belize

. . .and we went spelunking along an underground river at the Riviera Maya on the Mexicn mainland from Cozumel - 

Rio Secreto is AMAZING






The astonishing thing is that eating like PIGGGGS the entire week long, I only gained 6 pounds once the travel edema worked its way out after being home two days. Which is good, since I've been extremely foolish with mopey eating the last 6 months and had 20 pounds I already wanted to start taking off.  So, why is it so very hard to take weight off while eating properly and exercising??!!  ha!

How did you do with your BOMs while I was away?

BOMs Away - Cruise Edition



Welcome to the link-up for BOMs Away Mondays!
Where we share what we're doing on a BOM-type project 
so they don't stall out in UFO-land!
(Linky at the bottom.)

I've set this week's link-up on auto-post, as I'm pretty darn sure that even if flights make it through on time, I'm going to be way too exhausted when we get home from our cruise trip to remember to put this up.

When I'm able, I'll insert photos of the BOM work I am taking with me. It's quite perfect for a cruise stitching tote! This old project is coming back out of the BOM cabinet:


"Octopuses Garden" by Pearl P. Pereira

I set mine aside last year when I started appliqueing the nutcrackers, and I've been eagerly waiting for bringing these guys back out for the trip. So Block 5 and Block 6 are going with me. Quiet time on the balcony, overlooking the ocean going by, is a perfect setting for this applique work!

~*~*~*~

Have you done any BOM work lately?
