November BOM

[Margo C.]

Cathy, I'm so sorry for all that has happened to you recently and throughout the year. I hope that 2009 can be better for you and your family. Marge

Cathy, great block, and the pink ribbon is perfect for this quilt documenting your family's journey. Sorry about losing your dad, always a tough time.

I posted my first block last week for November. This is my first time ever to do a block of the month but it looked like everyone was having such a good time I thought I'd give it a try. I'm using a different technique than everyone else, frayed-edge applique and quilt-as-you-go using plaids from my stash, because that's the only way I'd ever get this quilt finished. I hope Sue doesn't mind that I'm not following the instructions. This is my first year for major health issues so my life has been a little frayed around the edges lately!

Glad to have you join us, Annis! Your blocks look great, and Sue is always glad to see the different fabrics and techniques in everyone's blocks! In fact, I'm working on my border, and instead of needle-turn, I'm also using raw edge fusible!

[Margo C.]

Annis, love these blocks! They have a homespun feel to them!

Hi Annis! What a different idea. I love how your blocks turned out and never would have thought to do that. Thanks for showing them.

Your block looks fabulous! I've never tried frayed-edge applique before, but love the effect and look. Pat yourself on the back for a job very well done!

I've done a lot of frayed-edge work, mostly with simple designs, nothing this challenging. It's fun to do and you get to actually use the quilt instead of just admire it.

I Love the look of your blocks Annis! They'll be very homespun comfy when finished! I'd do it in a quilt - not just pillows. Can't wait to see the rest!
