BOMs Away Monday - 9 Jan 2012

Welcome to my Link-Up for BOMs Away Mondays! 

(We'd love to see the BOM you're working on lately.)

Still on not-normal setting at our place. One child going back to school today, the other two home for one more week, and we're nursing a beloved kitty on death's door. . . so quilting and especially blogging are a hit-and-miss. 


I did get some Baby Janes done up:

A-11

A-12

A-13

C-13

And the December "There and Back Again" block:

How about you? What BOM or other interval work did you finish lately? 

BOMs Away Monday - 4 Dec 2011 Almost there!

Welcome to my Link-Up for BOMs Away Mondays! 

(We'd love to see the BOM you're working on lately.)

How's your week been? I got an acceptable amount of work finished on BOMs this week. 





First, I got the ribbon borders made for Patriots in Petticoats!!  This project is finishing on time!!  (First BOM I've managed that.) Just one more month - putting the top together with the final border print.





Here are 2 of the ribbons, folded in half lengthwise, and there's our now-blind kitty, who's my angel-boy buddy most of the time now. I'm his seeing eye dog, although he rarely needs my help, truth be told.  The vet was right - cats are REMARKABLY adaptable to blindness if they don't have to hunt. His medicine makes him drool a lot, so I keep a flannel throw he loves tucked on the sofa.

The November Gal for the project is Margaret Vliet Warne, who gets the ribbon border for serving as a renowned doctor, especially while all the men were away at the war. She was skilled at nursing and midwifery as well, and continued to practice medicine after the war. Her horse was always ready to go at a moment's notice with saddlebags packed for her work. She lived to be 92. I'd say she deserves a ribbon!

I also got cracking at the last minute and did the second There and Back Again block, although I took the easy way out and did fusible applique. Too many studies, last-minute reading, and essays to write for the end of the term!!

BOMs Away Monday - October 24, 2011

Welcome to my Link-Up for BOMs Away Mondays! 

(We'd love to see the BOM you're working on lately.)

Hello again!

Are you working on your BOMs?  It’s a busy, busy time of year – a time when this linky party serves me well, or I’d let all my BOMs float by the wayside instead of just half of them.  ;D

I held this block up for Scott on Friday night after work, and he perked up and said, “Galdalf!”  Totally worth caving in for  the “There and Back Again” project. What I *am* being good about is ONLY using fabs from my stash.

Next-to-last month of  the Selvages BOM:

Two of these

 Baby Janes:

WIP - Gandalf

I caved!!!

Oh, no! I tried so hard. I lasted 2 weeks, but once Barbara posted hers on BOMs Away, the end of resolve began. I just can't fight it anymore.  ;D  For once, I'm going to do a BOM with everyone else instead of two years later.





The Tolkien nerd in me just couldn't resist. This is a free BOM over at Fandom Stitches.


Also got 2 Baby Janes finished. They're not this dark - can't get the fabrics shot accurately.

And. . .   I'm working up my block design for The Celebrate Christmas Quilt-along.  Have you seen the program yet? Fun stuff over there! I'm up on November 1st, so you won't get anymore peeks until then. :D

Guess I had to take a break from the intensity of "Listen," but the goal is to get the green-blue arcs pieced for next Wednesday.
