BOMs Away - Birds and Dots

           

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!

Hello!  This week I hit my Temperature Dots Quilt nice and heavy.  I basted all the dots I'd had cut out, and got them glue-basted onto their backgrounds (about 8 weeks' worth). Waiting to be stitched, though.

And I spent 3-1/2 hours today pulling temps and cutting out the past 7 weeks of dots . . .  So I got maybe a third of the work finished to catch this monthly project up to date. 

I have exactly 3 high-temps dots left of this color, and haven't had luck finding any more of it to buy - so I sure hope we don't have more than 3 more 51-54 degree highs this year. 

I got another temperature color stitched down on the bird wings, which released two more rows to the TV station for paper removal and tail tuckings . . . 

. . . where I get "help" from Isabeau . . .  (Yeah - all those little pieces stick to her fur and track all over the place, but apparently my lap-side trash bag is the greatest place in the whole house to sit in.)

And there hasn't been much TV this week, so I've only worked through two sets so far. 29 more to go. . . 

I won't start sewing them together until I finish stitching all the wings down. Too lazy to change out the machine back and forth.  Heh!

BOMs Away - Ollie's quilt and Some Birds

Goodness, it has been a while! Thanks to Sandra poking her head in the door, I'm revving back up. 

First: Look at this amazing Wee One!!!!

I haven't done a single stitch of piecing, quilting, or hand work since making Oliver's photo quilt for Devon. It was nice this weekend to sit back down at one of the machines. 

I worked through the next three colors of bird wings, which yielded 9 row-packs to take upstairs for their next step (tail-tucking and paper-removing at evening TV times). 24 rows still have temps higher than the colors I've stitched down so far.
