2010 BOM in 2011

[Maureen A.]

I plan to start Hugs and Kisses in January also. I will be doing machine applique on this one. I am just finishing the last block in hand applique on the 2008 Bouquets for a New Day. This is my first full hand applique quilt. I had only made one block in '95' at a beginning class then in Oct. '08' I started the first 4 blocks on Sue's quilt so I could practice hand applique for papercut blocks I would be making in group quilts due the middle of Feb. '09'. The majority of my TAS group does needle turn. Sue's quilt taught me to hand applique and now I really like it. I then would stitch a block when I had time the past 2 years. I am now working on the last block (October) that has 73 circles in it. I am finishing the last of the small 1/4 inch circles on the July block and doing the background star on the last block. One thing I can say is I have no trouble making circles or cutting close. I have all the fabric for the Hugs and Kisses ready to go so after Christmas I will start. I also love the 2011 quilt. I have promised myself to get much more of my own projects done than get involved in things for others when I finished the hand applique for my quilt group's current donation quilt . Lol. Time will tell.

How lovely! We're going to have quite a group working on Hugs & Kisses this coming year! Welcome, MAinMO! One of these days I hope to tackle the Bouquet for a New Day, but not this year. See, Sherry, I do have some limits :wink:

I agree that it is really fun to work with the group on this :-)

I definatley will be doing the 2010 in 2011. I don't have a star membership so I couldn't play along. Since I got the email today saying that the membership is free for everyone in December I was able to download the instructions for both bom for 2010. I'm so excited. I love the 2011 BOM but membership is not in my budget at this time so I'll be happily playing along with 2010 month by month.

I already have three months done, but I plan on doing Hugs and Kisses mostly in 2011. Sounds like fun to have a group to share with. Cheers, BJ
