BOMs Away - Two Flimsies!

 

BOMs Away - Heather & Pat's documentation panels and some Affairs of the Heart

                    

Welcome to the Link-up for BOMs Away Mondays!

I put my hustle on this weekend and scored TWO flimsies in my BOM projects!

Saturday I wrapped up Heather & Pat's love birds Temperature Quilt top:

It is 96.5 x 106 inches, and I have some fancy-pants quilting planned for it. There are 3 quilts ahead of it at my longarm, though.

Sunday I put the last borders onto my Neptune's Gift:

This is 86 inches square, and I have no idea when it will get a turn on the longarm. Hopefully not too long from now, because it's amazing. 

Interestingly, my stitch-off project, Feathered Goose, also wrapped up this weekend! In fact, there were exactly as many units left to stitch a seam on as I had rounds of sewing on those two BOM tops. Kinda fun, actually!  This goes onto my domestic machine priority list to put the top together when I sew during the work week. It was very much a Happy Dance weekend!

(Except, now I have to prep whatever will be my next stitch-off project - but, boy are there plenty untouched kits in the storage room to choose from . . . )

I've organized the next BOM that I'm going to pull into my rotation since two are now off my list. Here are my colors (selected from left-overs from my Rainbow Dear Jane BOM from years ago) for Cadence Court, by Sassafras Lane:

I had almost everything I need in my stash, but I do need to pick up a couple yards of assorted blacks to augment my background and binding yardage.

I have an announcement to make regarding BOMs Away Mondays. 

Subscription prices keep going up everywhere, including the one for having linky parties on your blog. After April, BOMs Away will no longer be held in this format. Instead, it is moving to a Facebook group! 

Kate and I will continue posting linky parties here each week for one more month, but you can also already access the new location:

BOMs Away! - Quilters' block-of-the-month motivation

The group is set up as a private group, meaning only members will see your posts there, and we will be screening requests to join the group so that spammers won't get in and drive us all nuts. One great thing about this move is that we can post progress any time we want, and you won't be left hanging if we've gone on vacation and forgot to set up an auto post with a linky party for you.

We hope to see you over there. I know I would not get a tenth the amount of BOM work done that I do without having this little "association" to post to.

Did you work on a BOM type project this week? We'd love to see your progress!

Kate over at Katie Mae Quilts has joined me in hosting this meet-up, and linking up from either end puts you on the party at both sides.

Hello! 

I got all the itty-bitty letters and hearts for the documentation panels cut out and fused down for Heather & Pat's temperature quilt:

Some of them have been stitched down - you can see the gradation of the temperature key colors better in this photo:

and then I was having trouble with vertigo at the machine, so I switched over to hand stitching.

I'd been working on my Affairs of the Heart blocks during evening TV time all week and gotten this far before I'd put them away for the weekend -

And then I finished this one up after I needed to leave the machine today:

BOMs Away - Vacation, Family, and some Affairs of the Heart work

We've been having an eventful couple of weeks! 

Scott and I met up with my folks and their friends to do a Nassau/Dominican Republic cruise. It was a very nice visit that I wasn't sure we'd be able to do, until the latest super-spike of Covid nose dived just in time for us to do this. 

Visited with a sea lion, meandered through a mountain-top botanical garden and fun town streets, saw a historic fort, and did a wee bit of BOM work on my Affairs of the Heart project.

And just 36 hours after getting home to Colorado, our daughter and hubby brought our grandbaby out for a visit! I'm in heaven.  :)

Oh!  Here are those BOM blocks I worked on during sea days - 

Block 9 is finished

blocks 10 - 13 in progress

(using the back-basting technique for needle turn hand applique)

This project was lost for many years, but was returned to me a little while ago. Nice to be able to work on it again. Other hand projects have priority, so it's put away again for now, but this is supremely portable, so it got to come out for vacation time.
