BOMs Away - Garden Friends, Grand Illusion, & a Visitor



Welcome to the Link-Up for BOMs Away Mondays! 
We'd love to see the BOM you're working on lately. 
This week's link-up is at the bottom of the post.


For Third-Sunday I pulled out "Garden Friends" and pieced the last two of the central blocks. I also fused all their applique pieces on:




 And I just pressed the last seam for the center of my Grand Illusion! Give me a couple of days to get all the borders on, and I'll share what I've done with that.

But I had a really great visitor for a good half of the day. This young fellow is the sweetest cat in the world! Clearly not a stray, we took him in while the kids canvassed the neighborhood to see where he was missing from. He's so sweet, though, I think every single person in the family would have been happy to adopt him if necessary. And as you can see, he fit right in with my quilting space, happily laying on various projects and lounging on the desk to watch me work. He even climbed onto my belly when I kicked my feet up to pick out a wayward seam and snoozed for a while. Too bad his human was joyful that he was found!

Have you worked on any of your BOMs lately?

    He's beautiful and would have fit in nicely with your two beauties, how did they like the company?

    I Lyn, I wish I was working on a block of the month - I would do Deana's in a heartbeat. Too many other quilts in my lineup first though. What an adorable visitor you had... It's just wonderful for his owner that your family is so caring! Love the two blocks you are working on!

    Love the Garden Friends! Such a cute set of blocks. And take it from me - a fluffy tuxedo kitty is a baaaaaaad idea. Pass him right back to his owner. ;)
