MONTH 2 — Share Your Progress HERE

My first go at one of the BOM patterns - finally finished my Month 2 blocks! Using my own fabric, but wanted to follow the original applique pattern. Used Karen Kay Buckley's Perfect Circles for the center and small dots - small dots were tricky! Regular needle-turn applique for the other pieces.

My month 2 blocks are all stitched! They are not yet trimmed down to size. Thye were not finished until all of month 3 was done.

I'm way behind, lol, but at least have the first 2 blocks of month 2 complete (though not trimmed to size yet). I digitized the design to cut on my scan n cut and stitch down on my embroidery machine. It was an enjoyable challenge The next 10 should go quicker now that I have the process down.

I was wondering if I cannot do the quilt now, will I be able to access the teaching video’s next year? I am obsessed with this quilt too.

The only answer is “maybe”. Web sites change over time and older things are removed. My blogs will remain as long as Blogger exists. The LIVES on YouTube may remain.
The patterns will no longer be available FREE after December 31, 2025. They will be available for sale from the designer.

It took me two months because - Life, but I finally have month two blocks done. Hand appliquéd down, freezer paper turned. And it is only the first week of month four. lolol. Good thing month three will only take a few hours.

I fussy cut these blocks because I will be sharing this quilt with my fur babies I will make the applique’ blocks for a pillow instead. I love to hand stitch needle turned appliqué.

I finally got month 2 done. I was so afraid of doing the appliqué that I put it off, but it was ok, just time consuming. I tried to make the BERNINA stitches look more handmade, but I couldn’t get that function figured out, so I just stitched. I think this is raw edge? I started to put beads on this then remembered I’d later quilt it, and stopped.
