BOMS Away - Down the Rabbit Hole

Welcome to the link-up for BOMs Away Mondays!

Do you ever start Block-of-the-Months and then not finish them? 

Or maybe you just like doing a lot of them?

This is where you can share what you're doing on a BOM or anything you work on at given intervals. 

Show us what you accomplished in the past week or so!

Luckily for me, April has 5 Sundays! I took advantage of that bonus BOM day to catch my Rabbit Hole up to the newest cue:

All the flowers are sewn down. The only way I could pull this into my work load this year was to go with machine applique. I finally found a monofilament thread that my machine will accept (Superior brand), so I'm using that. I'm prepping pieces with turned edges and stitching with a teeny blanket stitch. The bites are about as deep as a thread, and spaced a little shorter than 1/8" apart. I use unprinted newspaper behind it all as a stabilizer, and it comes out beautifully. 

Didn't get to the new cue, which has the leaves and the first mini border, but it's time to convert my machine to free-motion work for tomorrow's return to the priority project. I'll use my Free-play Fridays for this project since most months don't give me an extra BOM day.  :)  

Oh, yeah!! I was going to try sharing this video with y'all. We got a super pretty snowfall in the night and all through yesterday, and a doe-herd hung out for a while in our yard having a great April Fool's Day frolic. There were 3 adolescents romping around like this for a long time, while the matriarch you can see at the center calmly ate from the berry bush. We loved it.

How has your BOM work been going?
