BOMs Away - A Skiier . . . and a Cat

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!

Hello!

I've finished the applique for Block 10 of my Classic Nutcrackers quilt (one of Sue Garman's wonderful patterns).

Here's my old-time Skiier:

Only two more nutcrackers to applique!

And then I can figure out what-all threads I want to get for their embroidery. . .

P.S.

My funny, funny cat has demanded that I take this shot. The fella who normally disdains photos and gets downright angry every time you snap a shot, howled and howled and yowled until I not only acknowledged his clever spot, but remained restless until I came back with my phone and took his photo. So I give you,

"Portrait of a Cat"

 

Now he has resumed his happy day about the house. Too stinkin' funny!

BOMs Away - A pretty hijack

There it is!  It was too late to get a great photo, but I got the rest of the bay window treatments finished this weekend. whoop! whoop!  

How funny! That lampshade is not yellow; that's just how the camera sees that bulb's light.
It's actually cream like the ceiling color.

These babies took way more work than I ever dreamed up front that they would take. 

And they completely hijacked all of this week's BOM time.

Now to focus on finishing the door remodeling so I can get those saw horses out of the room and move the chest back where it's supposed to be . . . looking forward to not having to crawl around it getting in and out of bed!

Q4 List

~*~*~*~

Not sure how many quilts I can finish up around the ongoing house remodeling, but it's nice to be back at the stage of making goal lists again. This is linked up at She Can Quilt's post for the fourth quarter of intentions.

Here is my Q4 LIST OF QUILTS for the complete finish by December 31st:

(This is intentionally over-populated since finishes only count if they're listed up front.)

1. Sew Spooky – pleeeease get this finished for Halloween!

2. Ruffled Roses - for Scott's Mom , stitched from Aug 2011 to Aug 2013, it has 5,139 pieces and an ambitious quilting plan!

3. The Nov UFO Challenge, #? – to be drawn from my challenge list on Nov 1

4. Daisy Days - this only needs binding. Seriously? Finish it!

5. The Dec UFO Challenge, #? – to be drawn from my challenge list on Dec 1

6. Once Upon a Star - has the trapunto finished, now needs overall quilting

7. Holly Jolly Snowman - a kit I pieced together in December 2011. It's so cute - why is this not quilted yet??

8. Holiday Tidings - A BOM kit I got at JoAnn's in 2000, but pieced from Nov 2013 to March 2014. Maybe this will get quilted this season, and not hit a full TWO DECADES in UFO Land?

9. Raven's Throne - Row quilt 2 of 6 requested by Scott for his office, needs all the foreground work

10. Borealis Ridge - Row quilt 3 of 6 requested by Scott for his office, untouched kit

11. Caribou Crossing - Row quilt 4 of 6 requested by Scott for his office, untouched kit

12. The April UFO Challenge #5, "Devon's Quilt" – Queen size double wedding ring started beginning of 2015 or end of 2014, last worked on Dec 2017. Need quilting of the wide applique borders.

13. Hearts - pieced in May 2010

14. Modernology - pieced from Dec 2013-August 2014, a personal favorite, so why has this stalled so long?

15. Christmas Door Cover - Oh!  And I can't forget the  seasonal door cover I need to make for my longarm room so that my daughter visiting from Florida can have some privacy while she's camping out in there. I want to make a tree something like this and perch 2 or 3 cardinals in it.

16. Bay Window Treatments - Get the other two finished and installed

17. Garden Tub Picture Window Treatments - Find a trim I like and get these made and installed

18. Master Suite French Empire Doors - Finish the remodel work on the 4 doors and re-install them. Channeling a modified Louis XV look
