BOMs Away Monday - She Liiiiiives! It's a Revival :D

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.

It's been forever since I've posted anything. I apologize to those who have told me they've missed the BOMs Away link up. I've been OK - just inundated with some intense priority quilts that took every minute of my quilting time. Everything else has been on hold for the last few months. I also had a lot of physical health adjustments to work on (just upgrading my workout routines to increase my stamina against Lupus stuff), and we had some really cool family events, like the high school graduation of our youngest and a really fantastic vacation.

I have a lot of catching up to do here at the blog! I'll start small with the first reposting of BOMs Away, which will start the swing back into my regular routine. 

Working so hard on single intense quilts at a time really goes against my grain, and to reward myself for four solid months of that, I got myself the kit for Fancy Forest in the same fabrics Elizabeth Hartman used. It'll look like this:

I got everything washed and pressed, then I cut all the background and accent fabrics, and all the feature fabric strips. 

This'll be my backing:

Everything is carefully organized in baggies and boxed up so that once a week or so I can take a break from the current priority quilt and put together an animal set. It's quite possible that this is the only project I'll work on for my BOM spot over the next 6-8 weeks. Apologies for the boredom if no other variety pops up before August. ;D

So, if anyone's still around, how about you? Do you have any BOM work to share?

BOMs Away Monday

Welcome to the Link-Up for BOMs Away Mondays!

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

I hope you've had better progress with your BOMs - I did none at all this week. I did a TON of painting and fixture changing, though. 

And today we celebrated Marissa's third college acceptance with her choice of eating out. Her pick was "Crave," where she wouldn't have to decide whether she wanted a burger or grilled cheese. . . 

Yes - that sucker had two grilled cheese sandwiches in the place of a bun! You need to be a teen to down that thing - Ha!

How about on your end? Did you get some BOM work done?

BOMs Away - A Little Sew Spooky FMQ

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.

Hi there! I got my machine back from the shop last night after 2 weeks. I needed to get my feel for FMQ work back before I dive into working on Helen's quilt (more on that soon). Also, I need more of my basting pins freed up. So I pulled my old BOM, "Sew Spooky," off the storage shelf to do some more work on its quilting.

I got all the FMQ work done for the black thread. LOVED working on the bats. They're just so cute.  :)

I also did the few spots of machine embroidery here and there. 

There are so many spiders on this thing, by the time I was a fourth of the way around with the black stop border, I was jumping any time a thread, lint, or a falling hair touched me!

It's a fun quilt. Too bad I can't let it be on the priority list for a long time.

It's your turn - - - Let us know if you've done any BOM or QAL work recently!
