Quilt ADD in therapy

Colorado, United States
Other than my family, the passion of my life is quilting. An eclectic, I love a wide variety of styles and techniques encompassing both machine and hand work. I am a longarm quilter who can work for you. I enjoy any style, from pantographs to all-over to full custom, ranging from traditional to modern. I love bringing vintage tops to life and am willing to work with a challenging quilt top. Instagram: lyncc_quilts

BOMs Away - Pinwheels and Owls



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.


Well, I only got 6 of the 8 owls finished for Fancy Forest. They're rather involved, so I ran out of time. The 2 that are left are probably my favorite color sets, too.


But I did get dozens and dozens of pinwheel stars sewn for the border on Scott's retirement quilt.


Also, I finished assembling the whole center (it's a customized DOD Americana Mystery top). I love all the bits of Scott's actual uniforms that are in it!

How about you? Did you work on your BOMs or other interval projects?  :D

BOMs Away - BunBuns and Stitchery



Welcome to the Link-Up for BOMs Away Mondays!
We'd love to see the BOM you're working on lately.

Hi there  :D

For BOM work this week, I had two projects going. I got the eight BunBuns made for my Fancy Forest:


And I have a pretty substantial pile of cut-offs to add to my bonus HSTs from this project. I have a fair bit of linen left over after cutting everything out for the whole quilt, so I'll work something up with all the cast-offs later on.


But my priority project right now is Scott's retirement quilt. With the inner flag pannel assembled, I could see better where I wanted to mark the words to be embroidered, and I got all that stitching finished. 

The birds are now singing Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the U.S.A." What could be more appropriate for Scott's quilt than to sing, "And I'll proudly stand up next to you and defend her still today. . . God Bless the U.S.A."!

The major-deployments panel has the place, year, and unit for each depiction, as well as his total time in active duty and retiring rank.


The panel of Air Force stars has the places of "permanent" residence stitched on. He really loves it all.


Next step is to stitch down the parts of the fused applique that I won't be stitching down simultaneously with the quilting, like the tiny park bench slats. . . Not my favorite task, but works out better when the extra step is taken. :D

Wow! It Has Been A Week! Lots of fun, work, and sports that I'll have to journal when I'm not over exhausted.

The only BOM work I got done this week was assembling the flag portion of my DOD Americana quilt top that I've been adapting for Scott's retirement quilt.

Now it's your turn. Do you have any BOM work to share?  :D
