Not only are you a member of the BOM SQUAD, Debbie, but you are on my original list!! Hang in there, kiddo....you can catch up!

Anyone else lurking out there??? We would LOVE to see your blocks!!!

[Ruth C.]

Thanks, y'all! I think all of the BOMs are great and enjoy seeing everyone's. It would be pretty fun to get together in Colorado to show each other in person.

My sepia-toned BOMs were inspired by a really fantastic quilt pattern that has only three colors. I was looking for the perfect tan to go with my off-white and chocolate brown. I never did find the tan, but the chocolate brown is now my BOM sashing, plus bits in the blocks, and the off-white is the stars. [See Whitework Sampler at http://www.therabbitfactory.com/.]

[Margo C.]

Thanks for a great new link, Ruth! She has some wonderful patterns, and I love the whitework sampler!

[Margo C.]

What a great bunch of gals!! Thank you all so very much for the vote of encouragement....I went to my stash and have prepared all my fabric pieces for the June block. I'm going to a Saturday sew day tomorrow and I should get my block done! I will post in my profile!! I love being a part of the BOM Squad!!! :wink:
Blessings,

PS: Ruth I have bookmarked the Rabbit Factory, thank you for the link!! I love all the patterns, YIKES, how do you choose??

[Duffy I.]

Yuhu :lol: I am also still working on my Bom.
I go with the flow. I try to use fabric that is stash around me and believed it or not it is a lot. I just finish May and June. I had to do some catching up work, but I am back on track and waiting for the next block. I hoop we can stay here in this form for the rest of the blocks, because with all these extra forums for each month its getting a little bit confusing, if you finish your block the next month. I was just thinking where can I tell you girls that I have finish my May and June block.
So go and take a look . By for now
Lots of love from Belgium, Duffy

Hey Duffy!! Good to see you!! Aren't you clever to put your pictures in an EQ file! They look GREAT! And your Bernina cover is AMAZING!! What are the chances of your crossing the big pond to join us in September 2009 to share our finished quilts in LaVeta??? Come on down!!!

[Margo C.]

Duffy --- Your blocks are beautiful. I've got to get out my EQ6 and give that picture idea a try.

[Margo C.]

Oh my Duffy! Your blocks are wonderful! But I have to agree your Bernina cover is delicious!!! My Bernina needs one of those sweet cottage cozys! What wonderful idea for a cover...ah yes another project I just have to do!!
My June block is coming right along(all my pieces are turned and ready to applique to the background fabric). I should be able to get most of it machine appliqued this weekend!
Blessings,

Duffy,

Your blocks are great and I, too, love the sewing machine cover! If we were at a quilt guild show and tell, we'd all be yelling "workshop" (as in, "teach us!"). I wonder if we could do a virtual workshop?

Ruth

[Mary R.]

Hi Duffy,
Your sewing machine cover is soooo cool 8) You are so creative and inspirational! It's good to hear from you again, I've missed your wonderful comments.

I've finished the first three months.... March was really tough for me and I needed a break. I also want to do Sue's Night Before Christmas.. (Already received the first two months of blocks and barely started...#1) ... so now have a living room full of material, plastic tracings, background squares, etc., etc... and wouldn't you know it? I attended an applique class in May at the local fabric store and have been working on THAT wall hanging too.... and then there's the Karen Kay Buckley applique wall hanging I'm making for my daughter that I started two years ago... ops: Oh... and did I mention my method is needle turn? :shock: There is a name for this condition, but I've got quilter's block. ...

[Charlene F.]

Charlene, your block look great.

Ruth, your blocks are beautiful! Duffy, I love that Bernina machine cover--you really should market that pattern. Charlene, I think the word is "overwhelmed" and most of us seem to fit into that category at sometime or other! :lol: I needleturn, too, and it's always so relaxing--that helps when I get too many things going at once.

[Judy M.]

Duffy, I love your blocks. They are great.
