BOMs Away Monday - Hanmadang Week

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!

(Linky at the bottom.)

Zero quilting work at all here - lots of running around to get 34 young professional athletes from South Korea to their various rehearsals, seminars, classes, and meals

These young people are consumate professionals - really remarkable to watch, both in practice and when they put on their full show at the arena.

We also had our own competing to do at the tournament.  :)

And I even got lucky with a rare moment of rest at home, joined by a mother with her twin Bambies who let me half-nap on my side of the glass door while they rested on our lawn patio.  :)

Have you been able to do any BOM work lately?  I'm itching to get back to mine!

BOMs Away - K Tiger Edition

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!

(Linky at the bottom.)

Running a little behind here - busy days right now as the South Korean Demo Team, K-Tigers, arrives tomorrow for the U.S. Open Hanmadang. Our homestay families will be hosting them for one week. Things are in place now, and all that is left for me is to make sure all catering happens for the team's lunches and answer/resolve family questions or issues as they come up during the week.

The K Tigers are great, and they're always a big hit at Hanmadang. They're all 2nd-4th degree blackbelts, and while they compete in pure Taekwondo, they also perform with music in a martial-arts dancing style - and small groups have done quite a few K-Pop videos, some of them very sophisticated. Here's one of their small-group videos so you can see what I mean. The international travel team has 31 members, and their top show is truly amazing, lasting something like an hour, with dance numbers interspersed by exhibition board breaking and kicking.

 No BOM work has happened at all this past week, but I did finish the 5 team jackets for our Team Creative Poomsae. 

Four of us, together with a friend, put together a demanding poomsae that we really enjoy, although a higher level of technical expertise than we Caulkinses possess would be ideal. The music is awesome, but frenetic, and my 50yo hamstrings don't like to allow full extension of side kicks and roundhouses on a lightning-fast beat!  Hah~!

We called our team Yong Do, which is supposed to mean "Way of the Dragon," and our music is "I'm a Dragon" by Apashe & Sway. Hopefully, we'll get someone to catch a video for us at Hanmadang on Friday.

Back to BOMs:

I may or may not have a nutcracker to share next week - he only needs one more piece stitched down, so hopefully I will.  ;D

How about you? 

Have you done any BOM work lately?

BOMs Away - The Chimney Sweep Nutcracker

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!

Here we are with the 5th Classic Nutcracker from Sue Garman's quilt pattern, the Chimney Sweep:

I had fun with the little lamb, using some white cotton velvet that I had. Yep, that's needle turned like the rest.

Love it!  Sweet little thing will get its face when I have the set finished and then do all their embroidery details.

How about you?
